I’m not familiar with Lora or other RF systems. Can they adjust temperatures too?

My other vehicle is from 1976… I love it and I love the ability for me to fix it without plugging a computer in.

Walking a 1/4 mile in cold wind to a warm car that’s already defrosted is pretty amazing though. And I’m vehemently against subscriptions where possible, so I get the hatred towards connected cars as well.

I use mine all the time. I have about a 1/4 mile walk to get to my car, I like to start it in winter to heat up, or summer to cool down before I get to it.

It’s a luxury, but one I enjoy.

That sounds like a Sony problem to me. Who ever I paid, gives me the refund. If they have to go get it from someone else, that’s their problem.
