no no no no Toyota too
The ceo is a trumper
Wasn’t Toyota one of the first to have subscriptions to access remote start and heated seats?
Toyota has the worst possible take on this too. It’s not just a subscription to use the mobile app, which kinda makes sense, but a subscription to use the key fob remote start.
You can’t use the completely offline version of remote start without paying a monthly fee…
All of the car companies are doing this now, I believe Volvo is not though.
Don’t think Hyundai are either.
This is nothing new. My 2015 Lexus requires a monthly subscription to use remote start.
Have you tried using the key fob for remote start? The app based remote start is subscription locked but on our 2021 if you short press the lock button (edit: twice), then press and hold the lock button until the head/tail lights start flashing it will start up and either heat or cool the cabin depending on temp.
Tried it and sadly it didn’t do anything
Mine is a triple-press then hold on the third, but yeah same.
You’re right. In correcting one typo, I deleted the short press count without noticing.
