I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car

In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn't feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in it ?
I have something similar for my Subaru but it's only 4 dollars a month.
It's a fee I gladly pay to be able to start my car and set the interior climate from my phone. I imagine there's some cost the access a network to have that functionality and I don't see a problem paying for it.
The old style that started from a key fob required you to be a lot closer to the vehicle to start it. Right now I start it a few minutes before I leave my building a quarter of a mile away. I could start it from a different country if I wanted to. Needing to be within a few hundred feet would be pretty useless to me.
What about when a security vulnerability is discovered and your car can be started and unlocked by someone else? That's one of my concerns with smart features from companies that aren't primarily tech companies
This is free elsewhere. The fact that you're okay paying monthly for remote start is hilarious and sad. Probably don't tell people you're okay with this.
The tesla app does an INSANE amount of shit no other vehicle app does and its free. But you want to pay monthly to turn your car on 😆
Except it's a Tesla.
It's like the Mr. Garrison's dildo mono-wheel "it" vehicle, it's fucking you in the ass!
Congrats on the new Subaru. I also happily paid for the app using the introduction 3 year plan. Hit me up when you hit year 4 and see the REAL price tag they charge.
I think op just doesn’t understand what the subscription is for.
Same for me. I have the blue link with Hyundai. It’s free for 3 years, then a reasonable amount after that.
Very personal opinion of mine, I hate subscription crap. However, I have to agree that, based on what you say, Subaru's cost is much easier to digest than Hyundai/Kia POS.
