If they don't have to pay for turn signals they don't use its a wash...

An old ET like me would have FUN tricking my way around that crap....call it a challenge.....cut the computers out, and hardwire what I want, the way I want it to function.....put a phony load on the computers, if necessary.....

Meanwhile, Dodge does it the old fashioned way. Both front seat warmers stopped working years ago on my truck. It's a thin electric wire that generates the heat, easily broken by repeated sitting, getting in, and out of the truck. Thankfully, the seat coolers (fans) still work. I'd probably pay to have them fixed.
My Silverado had the same problem. Thankfully, in South Texas, a seat heater would only be useful for a few weeks a year. |
BMW states that it's going to be effective with every car manufactured after July 2020 as well as the new 5 series. I'd be more than happy to pick up a 2017 M6 or a 2013 SL63 where that system doesn't exist.
I'm all for latest and greatest features, but you can still put yourself in a really nice car that's a few years old without them. |

Heated Seats As A Service. :D

Pretty sure they are already doing it with remote start and other features via their BMW Connected app. This is what I get with the wife's car. The app was free for a short time, but I literally never used it:

how come my chevy truck, with fancy OnStar, that can call anyone, that tracks various sensors on the truck, how come it can't set the time automatically? :slap:
|
Monthly payments for a feature like heated seats? **** that.
I understand on services like Onstar, or GPS, or self-driving...but not features that you pay for in the sticker price. Are the repairs covered in the subscription? |
