That’s a big giant “no shit” from me.

Good fucking ridiculous

I just wonder how much of a market there is in fixing these issues for consumers. As in, giving people FULL ownership of their own cars...and to hell with ridiculous corporate "laws" like the DMCA.

Did anyone ever try splicing some wires to provide direct power supply to the heating elements? Then again, I wouldn't put it past BMW to make this brick the car due to "hEaT pIrAcY"

They'll be back. And in greater numbers.

"How do you know that people hated the heated seat subscription?"

BMW, if they were honest: "Ummmm... Jailbreaks? A lot of them? It's impossible to enforce it because of them"

For once the car modding community got a giant W against a car maker

Good!

At what point do we say, “enough is enough, a collective of employees and customers is taking control of the company, you are relieved of command”?

I am so sick of things getting worse and worse because people want to unfairly profit from selling us the solution to a problem that they caused.

They heated them

Toyota is doing this sort of thing too...

While petrol is an old form of subscription from car manufacturers and fuel stations

I mean why did anyone buy a BMW during that time? Just worldwide no one buy any BMWs for five or ten decades. Let the brand tank.

I drive a car from 2000, it runs great, no spyware, no features in my car that I can't use, all I need to is add Bluetooth to the radio and its perfect. I don't really need a screen in my car to tell me basic information the dash gauges already tell me.
