My solution is to just not buy American cars ever again.
There are no good American brands.

And not even a fucking "don't show again" option. Either "call" or "remind me later". So there is no escape. Either take the ad in the ass or it'll show up again. Fuck that

To me this looks like something potentially worse than just an ad. It looks like this text might be configurable by the dealership. I wonder if all of that gets screened and approved by people that work for the carmaker. Otherwise we will eventually see some funny stuff show up in people's trucks.
Wake up sheeple!
Is there a custom firmware to counter this? And is there a way to inject custom firmware into it?
It's very strange that no one has created a custom firmware to counter this.
The problem with that is that insurance companies would gladly interpret that as tampering of the vehicle, voiding your insurance and which will really fuck you up in case of an accident.

Stellantis will kill EVERY company they build vehicles for.
"it's an upgrade, it's a feature!", "no other car have so awesome ads like we do, buy our products!", "step into the future now", "now powered by awesome ai!", "everyone wants that, You should too!"...
Here I am extremely pissed at the people who made it where my dogs trigger fasten seatbelt beeps in a old Tacoma.
You don’t have a car harness for your dog? Even if you don’t give a shit about your dog dying (I know you do) you should at least be worried about the 50lbs dumbbell flying around the cabin in your next crash.
