    Yeah no. Maybe if no one subscribes they’ll stop this crap.

      I understand one time purchases for these features (we already pay extra for added features), if the point is to make manufacturing easier, but subscription for this shit is ridiculous.

        This is a one time purchase, it’s just a generic message for the features because some are subscription like I think the remote start that uses an app

          Oh ok, then that’s not too bad. Subscription services for this world be awful though.
