That interesting. I remember those little extra fobs now. It was a 2021 Outback. It’s possible the sales person didn’t make that clear, and just wanted to close the subscription deal. She bought later it later, after the sale, and never looked into it I’m sure.
It’s still lame when you spend $45K on a car and you have to carry and extra device, if you don’t buy the subscription. They definitely want you to buy it though. Interesting to see Toyota try to force it on folks who are used to it being a given.
