Tried my ass, they are still doing it. So is Stalinist Witch is Chrysler Fiat and now Ford and GM are trying to do it. Right to repair is going away. Trump is trying to block it. You are just renting your new car. Subscriptions and has to go to the dealer for months or years to get repaired. Not doomsday but am. You will never own your car again, just a long term rental thatwill sit at a dealership for a year waiting on parts. It is real folks. Plus never forget they are tracking you 24/7. I am not a conspiracy person but trust me, your car is tracking every move you make from eye movements to restporations They will use the kill switch if they think you are impaired or have high anxiety. Welcome to the new world were all freedoms are lost.
I didn't know that was still happening on the BMW.
I hadn't heard that GM and Ford were thinking about it ... I' try to keep up on the Ford stuff, haven't heard about that yet.
As far as Tracking you, no they are not, well, not as in Lets Follow Jimbo and see where hes going ...
That said, YES, they know where the Vehicle is at all times ...
You don't hear much about Life Lock for your Vehicle any more, why is that ?
Because, the Computer on your Vehicle knows where you are ... My App, tells me exactly where my vehicle is, not sure why they try to Steal them anymore, unless they are Older and don't have such a feature.
The Car is Not tracking you .... the manufacture may know where the vehicle is, doesn't mean it knows where You are.
Do you use Waze Navigation ?
If so, every time you post on it that a crash or a cop or a slow down is happening, your Telling them where you are ...
Btw, thats Not the same as someone tracking you, your volunteering the info.
