Steve the remote connection should be free on your vehicles for as long as you own it. Toyota would sell more vehicles! After 1 year if I wish to keep the remote start system it cost me $100 for a year subscription if paid for the whole year up front. Toyota would sell more vehicles if this service cost was free after 1 year. I'm tempted to have a qualified shop to put an after market system on my vehicles after manufacturers warranty runs out. I'll save $100/year. What is your opinions on this matter? I realize you do work for a Toyota dealership! This is just my opinion. Opinions may vary. Keep the vids coming to Pittsburgh Pa. Have a nice Easter my friend😊
I personally pay for it monthly. I see the benefit for it. The app does require a cost to keep it working on toyota's end so they are passing that along. Could it be free, sure and they could charge you 1000 up front for remote start and a free sub. I think they should give a way that maybe a dealer could offer extended subscriptions so maybe you have it included for the lease or loan term for a cost or free if the dealer was to subsidize it. Most people get used to it and love it and pay to keep it.
Hey Steven I know this question isn’t related to the video but I see you work at a Toyota dealership, is there a good extended warranty on the new tundra pro hybrid?
