Apparently this applies to the remote start option you PAID FOR when you bought the car but to use it you have to cough up $8 a month. Personally I have never trusted remote start since the simple encryption can be defeated and your car stolen. Now they are putting out an app so you can start your car from your phone. Again, bad idea for those whom have a security mindset.

What's wrong with the key? All my cars use old fashioned keys.

I never use even 20% of the "extra" features on cars.
I am not connecting my phone to the "entertainment system" for them to track. I am not loading up the "app" for them to track.
The only new feature that I like is the radar for the cruise control that senses cars in front of you and slows you down automatically. doesn't work perfect, but still nice. Remote start could be a nice feature, except for the waste of gas. Letting your car warm up is generally useless for modern vehicles. Just drive in a way that doesn't put stress on the engine for a minute or two and you will be fine.

I wonder how easy it would be to just compile your own small linux distro for those on-board units, slap Kodi on there, and away you go.
