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 ?

DivisionResult,

Yall taking about modern cars, meanwhile my 94’ Citröen works like a charm. Aftermarket alarm with GPS unmbolizer for 50 bucks does al the work.

Game console manufacturing companies used to use people for modding a console that the person owned fair and square. And they won.

Hootz,

I miss when you didn’t need a cell connection for remote start, like my fob can lock and unlock my car from the third floor of my building why can’t I just have a button on my remote that does the same as unlocking my doors.

Although, the roadside kinda makes $60 a year worth it just for the peace of mind, gotta atleast give em that.

xbit00,

My 22 civic remote starts from the fob. So they are still out there.

pete_the_cat,

Kia’s just suck in general AFAIK. My friend has a 2010 Kia Sorento and he has some “device” on top of the positive (?) terminal of his battery. The terminal ring is a bit loose so it doesn’t make proper contact with the battery terminal and he has to hold it against it so that he can start his car.

I thought he was bullshitting me at first because he’s not a car guy and told me before that when his car was fucking up that it was the transmission, but it was the coil packs. Nope, there’s a big black box on the top of the battery and he said that only Kia can service it, and it’ll cost like $800 to fix.

AdolfSchmitler,

For $120 a year the Kia boys can total your car anyway!

Crashumbc,

While I’m generally against subscriptions, for the most part the above are things that require cellular service and cloud infrastructure…

While the price may be too high. I’m normally ok with subscriptions for things that have on-going costs to the seller.

We should be able to self host the servers and choose the cellular service like i can on my phone then

Put a knockoff air tag in your car and half of this is solved for $10.

Crashumbc,

Literally one item on that list could be solved with a airtag. And airtags start at 30, even the knockoffs are 20 and don’t really work well.

saintshenanigans,

Yeah I would need to see the “read more” here, all of these look fine but I’d never be surprised to see shit like cruise control or heated seats pop up on a paywall.

My car has remote lock and unlock on a FOB, no reason for an app and subscription.
I also get the feeling that the diagnostics are done on board by the car, it’s just refusing to give you the information unless you’re paying the sub.

Skates,

I work on crap like this, and it depends. Yeah, diagnostics are done in the car - the main ones, that is. But for example BMW collects data from all their cars - they’re able to do some big data analysis. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the diagnostic info this app provided is an inference - your car has software version 4.3.21, and all cars on that sw version have experienced a certain bug at 200k km, so it’s time to go to the dealership or get a remote update or something. It could be done.

Most likely though, they’re just taking the personal data from your car and showing it to you. You know - after also saving it for themselves.

DTFpanda,

I really hope my '01 4Runner lasts forever

Varixable,

Got an 02 still going strong that I’m delusional enough to hope lasts another 20 years.

dog_,

They also made them easy to steal!

or… we just need more FOSS alternatives to the car manufacturers proprietary OS.

I already see GH issues like: “breaks stop working when going above 200mph.”

<span style="color:#323232;">if (vehicle.getSpeed() >= 200) {

WeLoveCastingSpellz,

I will do you one better: open source public transport

Madison420,

Brakes, if your brakes break you break.

skyspydude1,

I can tell you working at an OEM we see far crazier notes like this coming in

JasonDJ, (edited )

More than likely the brakes would break at 129Mph, as your car is now going -32768Mph.

CaptainProton,

Directed or viper smart-start… Same thing but $60 a year, and can be retrofitted into some really old cars.

Problem is with the increasingly non-standardized designs, it’s just not realistic to build a module for every car that’s out there.

Nobody,

You wouldn’t download [the basic features of an item you already purchased.]

I might be the guy that shows up at the revolution for the most trivial reason but I hate that it says $59.00 per annually like companies think they’re so smart for having business school graduates on staff charging for things only business school graduates would think to charge for but they can’t even get basic grammar right.

Octagon9561,

You wouldn’t download a car?
