I installed an aftermarket remote start kit in the 90s. It cost less than $100.

Many of the earlier aftermarket remote start kits were cheap and simple because the vehicles had fewer security features. They are more complex and expensive today, and some are questionable in their implementation.
Right, the point is that complexity is unnecessary.
And yet, weirdly, my insecure 1990s era car wasn't able to be controlled over the internet and didn't have a direct data link to my insurance company.
