So there's two different "remote" actions. One would be using a key fob and the other through an app. I sincerely hope that the unlock/lock, start/stop through the key fob is always free and these charges are for some sort of app. However 150 yearly seems quite expensive unless there's some neat features that aren't in the screenshot.
They removed the start/stop from the key fobs and paywalled it behind the app.
Edit: yes yes, I get it, I was wrong. No need to tell me again lol.
There was a minute when it wasn’t on the key fob for a lot of the Korean cars. My extra wife’s 2022 Kona, fully loaded, doesn’t have remote start on the fob, only through the app.
What are you referring to? I have a 2022 Kia and I press the lock button then hold the start button on my key fob to start it. Same sequence to turn it off.
I subscribed to the app my first year with the car mainly because I was able to reimburse it at work. It was nice being able to start remotely no matter how many floors away I was in the winter but since I work from home now I didn’t maintain the subscription anymore.
