MODERATORS
Most likely they do not appreciate people adding features to their products for free because these are features that could be sold on future models. This is why right to repair is so important.
Or, it's something they want you to subscribe to. I bought a Subaru, and only later found out the only way to use remote-start was by subscribing to roadside assistance and using an app on my phone.
On the bright side, I can start my car from anywhere in the world...
