    Bring your own SIM would be a perfectly reasonable answer if somebody could do it. IOT Sims are relatively cheap.

    Honestly what I’d really like to see is it bind through Bluetooth to your cell phone. What your remote start from a couple hundred yards away it’s not nothing.

      I use my remote start on the other side of the building through countless walls and floors away from my car. Bluetooth is good up to 30 feet.

        Then that’s something you can pay for.

        Bluetooth 4 can go 200 ft line of sight. For most people that’s enough.
