Pay to turn on the AM and FM radio? Pay to play your own CD? Pay to roll down your window? Pay to use the heater or AC?
I’m a senior and my ‘12 Subaru Outback and ‘18 SR5 are not connected and very likely will be my last vehicles.

If they start charging for an actual feature like heated seats, or god forbid power windows, I think the backlash would be pretty tremendous. Charging for extras like remote start don't seem THAT bad by comparison.
