Both of those functions have been available via key fob for at least a decade, no internet required. Though yes the range on that can be limited.

Thats precisely what I’m referring to- these things being possible when you’re inside of a store, restaurant, or an extreme case like you parked at the airport for a trip.

I appreciate being able to check if I remembered to lock the doors.

How exactly does that work with a keyfob…?

  There are “two-way” remote start kits that have a display on the fob to report back AC state, engine remaining run time, and door lock state.
