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 ?
The video shows the fob starting the car. It also states that you can pay for the app to be able to do it anywhere.
It’s not a promo video, it’s a “how to” for car owners.
Are we not to believe that it really does that?
What is this internet thing for if I can’t find information? Do I have to drive to a car dealership and ask to find out if this is true? Do I need to see it in action? When I do, can you even trust my answer?
Not 1 person here has mentioned that it doesn't work. Not 1 person here has said that the "feature" is useless or anything remotely similar.
What is in question here is the fucking pushing of companies to tie as many idiots as humanly possible to their subscriptions to keep on draining funds from them.
Give me the car for free, and maybe I'll subscribe. Otherwise, I buy stuff with ALL it's capabilities enabled or not at all.
My car is worth US$85,000 in my country. Everything works, app and all, and I don't have to pay anything other than my loan, insurance, maintenance and charge (yes, it's an electric vehicle).
I own a 2023 BYD Han, I have an account for the app, and I can do whatever it's able to do from it without ever having to open my wallet again.
If and when they decide to make this a paid subscription, then I'll sell that one, and move on.
So, yeah, follow a bullshit advertisement that you call a "tutorial" and believe what you want. They are just like drug pushers, only for tech.
Now who is the one making fucking noise without looking a things from a common sense perspective?
IMO, you. Again, the video isn’t marketing. The car auto-starts just fine without paying anyone a penny extra.
The manufacturer offers overpriced warranties and app features. Totally optional. You don’t have to buy it.
The dealership offers overpriced vehicle service also. It’s optional. You don’t have to buy it.
Some people want that stuff. I don’t. You don’t. 🤝
