Since when did that happen, this is my 3rd truck and the remote commands portion has always been free. Picked up my truck 1 month ago today and noticed I can no longer lock or start it from my phone without paying $15 a month. What joke.

The other way to look at it is that those who don't use it are no longer forced to pay for it in base price in order to subsidize those that are using it.
