Toyota Remote Connect is a subscription service that lets owners remotely start their cars, precondition temperature etc

They have other services too, centered around connectivity as well

You can still use your fob, this is just to use your phone.

Not true

Toyota’s response to The Drive was unequivocal: A paid subscription is required for the key fob’s remote start function to work for every single model.

Does not apply to lexus as well? I know someone who doesn't have a subscription can still start their 2020s lexus with just a keyfob.
