subaru started putting remote start in their cars by default, for the low price of $15 a month or so you can use their app to remotely start your car.
making your broke through subscriptions
I remember when such features were just part of the remote that came with the car and didn't have subscription charges.
Remote start that operates through the internet is a terrible idea, you're telling the app to send a command to the LTE modem in the car that then sends the command to the CANBUS, if the remote start service ever gets exploited, you can bet your ass the hackers will figure out how to send CAN commands beyond just turning the ignition on, nothing in the CANBUS protocol allows for restricting access to specific equipment.
