One other thing... you cannot only have the remote start package. It requires the Connected Care, so the total for both in ~$200 per year.
I signed up for 2 years when I bought the car, and it will cost another $200 for the last year of my lease. Now I have to decide if I also want to renew the NAV/Google package. It's pretty neat, but adding that in makes the whole thing pretty pricey for all 3 years.
Good point. I called yesterday because my connected care just auto renewed after the trial period and I wanted to drop it while keeping the remote. Was told exactly what you mentioned above ($200). Not thrilled but it is what it is.
