Keep us posted on make and model. I sure as hell will try to get one myself and help you test the shit out of that jailbreak.
But you do pay to use the network. So, you're still paying for it.
Very personal opinion of mine, I hate subscription crap. However, I have to agree that, based on what you say, Subaru's cost is much easier to digest than Hyundai/Kia POS.
Not 1 person here has mentioned that it doesn't work. Not 1 person here has said that the "feature" is useless or anything remotely similar.
What is in question here is the fucking pushing of companies to tie as many idiots as humanly possible to their subscriptions to keep on draining funds from them.
Give me the car for free, and maybe I'll subscribe. Otherwise, I buy stuff with ALL it's capabilities enabled or not at all.
My car is worth US$85,000 in my country. Everything works, app and all, and I don't have to pay anything other than my loan, insurance, maintenance and charge (yes, it's an electric vehicle).
I own a 2023 BYD Han, I have an account for the app, and I can do whatever it's able to do from it without ever having to open my wallet again.
If and when they decide to make this a paid subscription, then I'll sell that one, and move on.
So, yeah, follow a bullshit advertisement that you call a "tutorial" and believe what you want. They are just like drug pushers, only for tech.
Now who is the one making fucking noise without looking a things from a common sense perspective?
Ok, enough. At this point it's too evident that you're a troll paid for by Hyundai. You'll be out of a job soon, since this will no longer be effective.
You keep mentioning "official video by (insert manufacturer name here)". Are you even thinking when you say that? It's the manufacturer, what the hell were you expecting them to promote? "were fucking you over, so here's why you have to give us more money for a car that you think is yours but actually will never be"?
Finally, the voice (text) of reason.
Thank you!
Because you actually believe you didn't already paid for about 5 years of the service when you paid for the car? Human stupidity and laziness is the accurate reason for manufacturers doing this.
When you buy the car, you also pay for that integrated, albeit disable, service. To enable it you have to pay a subscription. I agree with the OP. This should never be the case. Now, the culprit is not the car manufacturer, but the people that pay for it. If nobody, or aven few people, paid for this, they wouldn't have a business for that and they would likely stop. Bottom line is, you don't like it? Give your money to another brand.
I keep a Windows VM in my server for when I have to update some of my accessories (because Logitech won't do anything for Linux, but their keyboards and mice are so awesome for work that I can't think of any potential replacement), but I would never keep a Windows install one any of my desktops or laptops. In this, I do consider Windows a waste of space, even if it was only 1Gig.
I see you're also a man of science and common sense.
