Not remote start. Plenty of remote start units are standalone, install into the vehicle and operate offline using their own dedicated fobs.

Subaru sells first-party remote start units which operate this way. They also have a subscription service that offers remote start, but make no mistake: if your carmaker ONLY allows remote start with a subscription and won't install a standalone unit, you are being had.

More importantly if i'm not 'close' to my car I don't want it to start accidentally. I've already started my car while it was the garrage and I was.sitting in my favorite chair with no intent to go anywhere.
