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.

Now they list "connected services" with a free trial period. The connected services allows location, windows up/down, climate control, engine start/stop, all from your phone. As well as tire pressure, fuel level, and other vehicle data to your phone. For $8 per month.

Which includes remote start which I have on my car for free.

You can still get a remote starter without having to pay for a subscription service, this is just referencing an optional service that happens to also have remote starter features bundled in with a bunch of other unnecessary convenience features.

What do you mean "free?" Nothing is free.

You paid for it somewhere. I guarantee that.
