Remote start
The remote start barley works
Emmi0115
Emergency call function limited
How is it possibly worse after the update. It says my car is running and there are 9:30 minutes left when I open the app even though it’s not and I didn’t even attempt to start it yet. This app has always been 50/50. Since the latest update, I’ve had the message saying emergency call function limited. Remote start won’t work at all
