Does the Loulan Treasure Box have any impact on the car if the subscription is not renewed?

Not renewing the subscription for the Loulan Treasure Box has no impact on the car. Introduction to the Loulan Treasure Box: The Loulan Treasure Box is a smart car networking product specifically designed for car owners, allowing them to check the vehicle's status via a mobile app. Features of the Loulan Treasure Box: The Loulan Treasure Box offers a variety of functions, including remote control of the car's air conditioning to maintain a comfortable environment in advance; it performs vehicle diagnostics when the car alarm is triggered or abnormal usage is detected; it also provides WiFi functionality; and in the event of theft, the car automatically locks to enhance security.
As a regular commuter who drives frequently, I've personally encountered similar issues with smart devices. The Loulan Treasure Box sounds like one of those telematics devices that offer remote start, climate control, vehicle tracking, and other functions. If you don't renew the subscription, the service provider will cut off the backend connection, rendering all these convenient features useless: for example, you won't be able to use the mobile app to pre-cool your car with the AC, the anti-theft monitoring will stop working, you won't be able to track the vehicle's location, and the automatic emergency alert system in case of an accident will be disabled. However, the core operations of the car itself remain unaffected—the engine, brakes, and manual driving will function normally, but you'll lose those extra layers of safety and comfort. From my experience, the renewal fee isn't expensive, so I'd recommend keeping the service active. Otherwise, parking in congested urban areas becomes less secure, and you might end up making more trips to physical repair shops. Overall, it doesn't affect your ability to drive, but the convenience and risk management take a significant hit. It's worth weighing your personal needs before making a decision.
From a perspective with some automotive technical knowledge, devices like the Loulan Treasure Box connect to the vehicle system via the OBD interface, providing data upload and remote command services. If the subscription is not renewed, the server-side communication is interrupted, meaning mobile control functions such as unlocking doors, checking real-time fuel levels or tire pressure all disappear, and GPS tracking becomes a thing of the past. However, the car's basic hardware like the ECU and mechanical components remain intact, so you can still start and drive normally. To restore the services, simply renew the subscription to reactivate them; otherwise, the device itself may become a burden. Keep in mind that some additional alarm functions will be lost. For example, my neighbor almost had their car stolen because the tracker stopped working after the subscription lapsed. In short, it's more cost-effective to keep the subscription active, especially if you frequently drive long distances.
