Not sure what else to say. I don’t work for the company. Just use their products in all cars and trucks of mine. Love it.

Just got an offer of 6 months for $60. Pulled the trigger. That’s worth it for me in the winter.

And to make it worse, Ford now offers this for free:

Ford's remote car starting and unlocking are available for free

Until now, all of FordPass' connected car features have technically been locked behind a subscription, no matter how basic -- while it was effectively free with up to five years of 'trial' service, there was still the prospect of losing remote unlocking simply because you didn't want to pay up...

Maybe that will begin to force prices down. I knew they were separate services, but I was surprised that even SiriusXM “All Access” didn’t include Guardian. I guess it should have been branded “Almost All Access”.

Luckily we can still use the fob to start the car. My wife's mazda dosen't even offer a remote start button on their key fobs. If you want remote start at all its through the app at $95 a year.

And that's on top of the $600 remote start option (that's not standard on any trim) you need to make it work.

Does this actually work for anyone? Love my 2019 Ram but Ive tried doing remote start from the app 3 times and it has never worked.

It worked for me flawlessly and I'll miss it in winter for sure... some large worksites I'm on are beyond the range of the fob and it was nice to get the truck warmed before leaving... sadly not worth the extra coin. It should be included with any SXM yearly package. Too bad.

Ever since Sirius and XM merged the prices skyrocketed since their is no more competition in the satellite radio marketplace. $20 month is absurd for this but I guarantee if you sign up for their $60/6 month promotion and at the end of 6 months call to cancel they'll give you another promotion to keep you a subscriber. I have been doing this for 10 years with the radio subscription to get a better deal.
