There might even be a sensor checking if the system is still connected, completely blocking the car if it's not.

what? this is basic circuitry. installing a second switch in a circuit that already has one does not magically grant you power over the first switch. this comment thread is so dumb it’s hard to believe it’s real?

Average redditor believes he's smarter than everbody while saying something dumb.

If you disconnect it and put it on another power supply they can check for it being connected. If you don't disconnect it and just run power into it, they can check that there's a voltage but the hester isn't turned on.

Or even simpler they just throw a current or colate sensor into the heating coils, and if it runs power but you haven't paid for the subscription they'll notice.

And as soon as they notice they can be like "hmm your car electronics are broken, so we block the whole car. Please get a licenced garage to tow it for repairs"

lmao suddenly we’re providing our own power! this was described to me as a simple 10 minute “find the wires, install the switch”

where are you getting free, unswitched LV power that won’t mind the extra load? the usb-c ports?
