Yeah no. Maybe if no one subscribes they'll stop this crap.

Or just wait until someone roots their car and gives acces

I understand one time purchases for these features (we already pay extra for added features), if the point is to make manufacturing easier, but subscription for this shit is ridiculous.

This is a one time purchase, it's just a generic message for the features because some are subscription like I think the remote start that uses an app

Oh ok, then that's not too bad. Subscription services for this world be awful though.

Yeah, fuck this. I want full access to all the capabilities of my vehicle. I'll keep maintaining my 2006 truck, thanks.

I wonder if this was mentioned in the purchase agreement.

I wonder how much Ross tech/VAG com can do with this kinda stuff.
