Toyota kills physical remote start...

[bjcheung77]

Um, looking to upgrade from a 2014 Corolla to a newer Toyota vehicle and came across this article... this sounds so much like a money grab on their part (even though I don't use this feature as I don't live in an area that's extremely cold)...  They have a "trial period" for vehicles that use the remote start function, after that 3 years trial, it's $8/month or $80/year just to have a remote start option!  For people who purchase a certain model of new vehicles, they are providing a 10 year "trial period".

The RAV4 doesn't look too bad, I don't know if people in Texas need this feature either... - Link: Toyota kills physical remote start, digital function will be pay-to-play (msn.com)
