I don't give a shit about the bells and whistles they're adding to cars and the infotainment systems. I am absolutely LIVID that they are starting to lock bits of hardware (or the complete functionality of that hardware) behind subscription paywalls. If i ever buy a car and discover they've locked the heated seats behind a monthly fee, i'm tearing the infotainment system out of the fucking dash and leaving it on fire in front of the dealers house.
In the future I can totally see black market auto shops that specialize in bypassing all the bullshit paywalls that restrict your car from functioning the way it should to begin with.
Yup. I worked as a locksmith for a decade there that reproduced immobilizer keys that were 'dealer only.' My tool allow me do all sorts of wild shit that was outside my field of interest -- but resetting/setting the door panels on Fords was super nifty.
