Subscriptions

Use to have a 2017 touring (top trim) crv. No subscriptions required. It was loaded with features that are extra on some top trim so-called premium vehicles.

Looking at used 2018 to 2023 xc40 or xc60. Do all years require eventually subscription for things?

I believe a subscription is eventually required for remote start. I’ve also heard remote lock/unlock, surely that can’t be true?

Is just the Volvo app that is subscription? If so what is on the app and what year vehicles require subscriptions?
