Toyota had to rescue themselves when they threatened to retroactively make remote start a subscription service

  And to be clear it was keyfob based remote start they wanted to charge for, not app/internet based.

    Are you sure? I heard the opposite - it was only the app/internet version and the keyfob continued to work.

        Wow. I thought it was sketchy that they were charging to recoup (times a huge multiple) their minor server/bandwidth costs. Not that.
