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 ?

There’s also the fact that remote start, while shorter range, has existed on key fobs for like 20 years. My ex wife’s 2022 Hyundai has remote start, but only through the app, while my 2013 Focus has it on the key fob.

That’s honestly the only feature that’s bundled in those subscriptions that I really want, though the alarm notification is a nice to have.

    I have a 22 kia with remote start. I also have the app (that costs the same as this post so I don't pay either). The remote start sets the car to 72 with nothing else on. No way to change it via settings. Paying for the app remote start is the only way to do the defroster, heated seats, steering wheel, etc. It's so fucking lame.

    He just indicated that his wife's car does not have this on the fob. Meaning, it can and will go away eventually especially with folks paying for it.

    Ok, enough. At this point it's too evident that you're a troll paid for by Hyundai. You'll be out of a job soon, since this will no longer be effective.

    It's a stupid image, how can you give this much of a shit about something so inconsequential? You're all over this thread sucking hyundai subscription dong, what gives?
