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. It also helps for making sure the button you pressed actually reached the car.

Some of us still remember Wise Guys and want that range! ;-)
