Actually this is fantastic for someone like me - assuming there are no security holes of course.
I don't want my next car to have remote start or remote anything. If not paying the subscription allows me to make sure that that feature is not enabled, it's great news, for me.
Of course, different people have different preferences and needs.

- freedomben 5y agoWhether you pay or not the car will have the capability and it will dutifully ask the home server what it should do. Toyota will still be able to see exactly where you, what you're doing, and be able to unlock/start your car whenever they want. you just won't be able to.

- freedomben 5y agoI don't know how serious you are, but the modern LTE antennas are really small and are tightly integrated. Very difficult to remove without severely damaging the system.
