Was talking to a sales advisor in Calgary who confirmed that they had received the bulletin and remote start would be available as a retrofit.

So although not sure retrofit would be about twice the price of factory enabled.
Seems like no one has clarity yet.
The cost of a tow hitch is $750 so it seems like the retrofit cost is going to be in this ballpark. I still believe it should just be a software update for which they should not be charging this much. I may wait to see if it can be enabled via coding.
