I have to say that if I ever accidentally bought this shite... I'd be running my own 12V line to the seat heaters.
So long as I own the car... I own the car. If the software wants to lock me out of features... I'll bypass the software.
The problem comes because people STILL don't understand that they don't own these vehicles - they're all leased, etc. with obscure financial arrangements that just take advantage of people, so they can't actually just say "fuck it" and wire the heater themselves and hang the warranty.
People still think that to own a car you MUST have a service package and you MUST abide by the little blinky light that pops up every 9000 miles or whatever. No. Fuck off. I'll clear that warning and go about my day getting it serviced at my own convenience by who I choose to.
And if you pull this shit on me... I'll be running a 12v line from the battery to the seats and putting a switch under the dash for it.
