I'm sorry, but to me, a banner ad across my car's screen is far too much. There should be zero ads from my car manufacturer in my car.Full stop. This is probably going to be the start of more ads creeping into the car.
BMW tried the heated seat subscription service. I wouldn't be surprised if they offer the ad free infotainment service in the next 5 years.
