@feld @takao They might put it in only as an upgrade package, that might or might not be installed if the customer didn't pay for it.

As an example, the 2024 Kia Forte in the LX/LXS trim does not support Kia Connect when I checked it with their availability checker. That might indicate that they don't install it by default into every vehicle and just activate it via some software update/config change. But who knows.

I also doubt that the remote engine disable/find car functionality isn't installed by default. It's too useful for law enforcement to not include it.
