What is the monthy cost for that? I'd love to put that in our car (I
have an Android phone), but I don't know if I want to pay a monthly fee
for a feature I'll rarely use (i.e. I'd just buy a unit with a two-way
remote).

And what kind of security does it have? If someone guesses your
autostart number, can they start your car remotely too?
