BS is the correct word. I may stop buying Avalon’s for this reason!
Remote connect is a subscription service that will remote start, lock or unlock doors, etc. via a smart phone. Remote start is a feature that can be activated via a key fob, along with lock or unlock doors. The two answers above imply that Toyota cuts off one of the functions of the key fob if you don't subscribe to Remote Connect. Do they also cut off lock and unlock doors? I don't think so. How could they disable a function of the key fob???
The only way you can remote start the 2019 Avalon is from a app on your phone. Which requires a subscription service....for $8.00 per month! Not good!!!
