I bought a new Lexus last year, hated it, sold it, but I (think I ) can still start the car from my i-phone and get emails / texts when the new owner leaves it unlocked...I can also see where the car is parked. I have not tried to start it, and in fact, will remove the app from my phone, but as a non tech person, I can clearly see the obvious security issues with this system.

IMO, the app is completely useless. I mean, it's nice to know how many miles I have put on the car, and how full the gas tank is, but then again, I get this data as soon as I get behind the wheel. Can't lock doors, or fold mirrors - not an option for my vehicle apparently.
I can see the potential for using apps like this to actually notify me of things (like when my tire tread may be low, or when I need a scheduled oil change or service, but for routine use, I have no idea what the utility of this app is...

I have PCC for my 2015 Panamera GTS and had same problem. What I was told, in a nut shell, was that it was a liability issue and was not offered in the US. This also included being able to put windows up if left open.

Good to hear...but it's still only "LOCK" - there's no "UNLOCK" capability like OnStar provides.

My renewal is up (after the free trial after purchasing the car) and I am having a hard time justifying spending $479 for 2 years of service. I think I used the app once in a real-work situation to ensure that the car was locked. There is just not enough functionality to justify virtually any spend on this option.

Definitely wouldn't pay $480 for the limited (slow) functionality it gives. Maybe you will get lucky like me and a few months after the subscription ends and your functionality goes away.... it will all come back w/o paying $1. Ha...not sure how that happened.. but has been working for a few months now and everything is working like during the trial period.
