    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.

      There already are: I’ve bought a regular remote start (the car came with subscription cellular remote start) and a little box to make my auto start-stop setting persistent.

      I checked into those things before buying. I guess that’s the world we’re in now.
