Remember when they tried to make you rent the heated seats you already have?
Maybe they will offer a commercial-free subscription service.

If have to watch ads it’s not a luxury car, it’s a Kia in a suit.
I don't watch ads in my Hyundai. That makes it worse than Kia/Hyundai.
The only cars I see ads in are borrowed from Europcar and are basic pieces of shit. So I guess BMW is around there now.
Oh no! How will me and my soldiering iron cope?
Better get good at CAN bus. Unless u like the Christmas tree look of a lit up dash.
Remember when they installed turn signals you never use?
