I can lock or unlock from the app which is useful. Not sure about the utility, or security, of starting the vehicle from an app. In either case, the fob doesn't have much to do with it at that point.

Oh, and it is questionable whether it will work in a parking garage, particularly an underground facility, or even my home garage. This remote operation uses the mobile network which is not terribly strong where my house is.
