Anyone know any brand that doesn't pull this kind of shit in their cars?

No fucking way. Not even if the car was free.

The car screen is a nice flat surface to attach the suction cup of your phone mount.

A friend of mine bought a Jeep last year and it looked cool so we were thinking if this would be something for us as a next car.

But sadly I'm allergic to advertisement, so I guess a Jeep is out of question until they rethink it.

There are plenty of better vehicles that aren't outrageously expensive just because they can be.

You don't need to be allergic to advertisement to want avoid shit like this. The fucking audacity of companies these days. There is no place they won't try to shove these damn things to the detriment of every product, service, and personal moment. If they could put screens under your eyelids you'd have to watch drug ads one blink at a time and your dreams would be sponsored by AT&T.

There's exactly zero chance I'd buy a car that showed me ads.

There was already zero chance I'd buy a Stellantis vehicle anyway after buying a brand new 1999 Dodge Durango that started rusting out sitting on our garage.

And while they did the bare minimum to remove the rust, but they didnt stand behind it. There was no way we were keeping it or buying anything else from them.
