Hi, I drive a 2019 Mercedes GLC that I have to pay a subscription for in order to use the remote starter…I know most are doing this but I HATE it…not only bc I hate being “app dependent” but bc I notice that if the gas tank is less than half a tank, it will tell me that there is low fuel and cannot start. I NEVER had this issue when I used the Viper engine starters and had a simple remote to turn it on…

So, this may be a dumb question, but can I install my own remote starter over an existing one? Thanks Everyone

    I thought Toyota took a huge amount of backlash for trying this bullshit and dropped the subscription service for features installed in your car.

    Give it time, someone will see the money in “jail breaking” these features from your vehicle.

      they did - they were trying to lock the fob remote start command behind a paywall. got a buncha backlash then went woa woa woa we wont do it.

      for now…
