Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.
If you disconnect the car’s cellular network, do the ads go away?
If you can find an antenna it can be blocked or disabled. Basic instructions for a faraday cage can be found very easy.
Yes, but now the car can’t pull data to operate the gas tank.
Operate the gas tank? What new feature did they add that requires a container of liquid to be networked?
gas-as-a-subscription service. For $300 a month you can get gas at select service stations at no cost to you. Terms and conditions apply.
I can feel the sarcasm but it would be remiss to ignore the fact that a lot of manufacturers are trying out subscription models. I would like to think of HP here and there ink service they offer with their printers but for cars.
