Wife's new Benz came with a one year subscription to Mercedes Me which allows remote start and probably more. I think it's $140/year afterward but that ain't gonna happen.

Which of the Toyota subscriptions is best? Hype or Kool-Aid?

I use the Ford Pass app. I can check oil life, def level, fuel level, tire pressure, service interval, past service records, schedule service, remote start, lock and unlock from anywhere also get location of truck. It may be gimmicky, but it is free, and I can do it from anywhere.

My nephew was telling me he read that Ford has filed for patents that would allow them to cause your cars windows to not roll down, or the AC/Heat not work, or for the radio to play an annoying high pitch squeal... they can do that all remotely. Idea being that if you do not make payments they start with your windows, then your AC, then add the sound etc. and ultimately... they will have the car self repo. That is right. It will lock you out drive itself back to the dealership. Found a link. He was right. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43126498/ford-patent-autonomous-systems-vehicle-repossession/

2018 F-150. Love my remote start and heated seats. No app required. My navigation stopped giving traffic info at the 5 year mark and Sirius wants $5.99 a month…nope! I have a 2019. I bought Apple Car play that plugs into one of the USB ports ($50). It connects wirelessly to my iphone when I start my truck. I then use the Waze app for navigation. Android also has a version that does the same thing.

If this does happen it will most likely backfire and lead to declining sales. We shall see. that

My BIL is a chevy salesman. He said every phone that he pairs to a vehicle he gets 150$. This is my understanding as well. They get paid to be your tech support.

When she asked for one they "required" her to download it on her phone when they linked it up.

Remote start will work for free for the first 12 months, then cost $12.00 per month to continue to work. What subscriptions do you have on your new vehicles? I would just have remote start added at an auto shop instead of paying a monthly charge. https://www.dailydot.com/news/toyota-remote-start-is-it-bad/I wouldn't buy it just because of that BS Same here. Freaking stupid.

No vehicle subscriptions here. Still have Netflix and YouTube Premium, for now.
