10 days agoThe key fob remote start would be fine and for free. Or you could use local wifi instead of the open internet which is a security risk. This is anti consumer bullshit made to get a subscription where one is not required.
The car can put out its own ad hoc wifi network or be added to your work network. Fobs have decent enough range too and so global access to my car via the internet is only marginally more convenient at best (and not sure I want it to be connected at all for security reasons tbh).
