Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde "oem" parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.
Rules:
- Keep posts on topic.
- Don’t make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
- No posts linking to reddit posts.
- Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
- Please be respectful to each other.

Yeah no. Maybe if no one subscribes they'll stop this crap.
Or just wait until someone roots their car and gives acces
I understand one time purchases for these features (we already pay extra for added features), if the point is to make manufacturing easier, but subscription for this shit is ridiculous.
This is a one time purchase, it's just a generic message for the features because some are subscription like I think the remote start that uses an app
Oh ok, then that's not too bad. Subscription services for this world be awful though.
