I bought used from a family friend who was moving overseas. Huge upgrade from the 2008 Acadia I was driving, and I assumed it would have at LEAST the tech-y advancements that that vehicle had. So I casually asked seller if it had remote start from key fob and he said, yes, just push the lock button 3x. This is actually such an important feature to me that I would have passed on the great deal if I had known it didn't have. I'm sure I don't have to tell you, this information appears to be wrong. I will not be buying whatever that thing is that costs $500 and then you have to subscribe annually after first year. I've seen some talk of after market products/systems, but honestly I'm just really ticked that MAZDA (of all people) wouldn't have something included that GMC had 10 years earlier! Any advice about the best way to go about getting remote start? Would rather deal with an extra key fob than with going through my phone, if that makes any difference. Thanks! (PS thanks for your patience - I did try to search the site for other posts, but it seemed like such a rabbit hole for a non-techy person like me.)
