Angry OEM Remote Start Key Fob

All I have to say is why? Yes, I have it. It works well, but its clunky and a huge inconvenience. Can someone please explain to me why Mazda cannot incorporate this into their main keyfob? I don't get why its an add-on feature when every other car comes with it by default.

I will say that the range is pretty impressive on it and i like being able to customize the start time.

if someone explains it.. will it change your circumstances at all ? i totally agree with you and this is the exact reason why if i am to get a remote start it will be the MMS version since i ALWAYS have to have my phone on me...

The dealer sure tried to sell me on that. My friend has it and says its awful. You have to log into the app every time with your password, then wait, then wait again, and even afterwards its hit or miss. All of that on top of a $65 annual fee.
