So far there's subscriptions for cruise control, adaptive beams, various navigation options, apple/google integration and my favorite, dual-zone climate.

Ah yes, the moment you to have to break the law to own the stuff you bought. Audi A3 jailbreak

What law do you break? I know it won't be plausible for the general public because of warranties and all that.

And some copyright things or something else will prevent repair shops from jailbreaking it for you.

But what would prevent you legally from jailbreaking your own car?

Nothing. And if they tried, you could sue.

>But what would prevent you legally from jailbreaking your own car?

the digital millenium copyright act of 1999

That doesn't protect corps from you doing it privately.

it makes bypassing drm a felony

If that was true, in the courts, then every jail broken iPhone user is a felon. Maybe that's true, maybe not, it doesn't matter because it's unenforceable and the govt doesn't give a fuck.
