In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn't feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in it ?

How remote are we talking about?

Based on what others in the thread are saying, that's already covered for free by the key fob. What they're charging for is doing it through the internet.

I have a Telluride. I've been downgraded to Lite which gives you notifications if you forget to lock your car. But remote start is no longer available.

The way it worked seems to be polling since you could wait around up to a minute for the car to perform a command.

The worst part is the car does not have "local" remote start. I'd have to buy another piece of equipment for that and install it. It's not available at all on the key fob.
