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 ?

Soon, auto manufacturers will learn what happens when buying isn't owning.

People will definitely download a car, or the crack for all its features.

Auto manufacturers are notorious for having terrible security. It'll be a cakewalk for innovators.

Sure, start sharing what car has been hacked. Any? No? But autos have had computers for years, why havent they been hacked?

Lol, someone "hacked" a car so they can turn it off is not the same as building a whole OS for a car. Or are you exited about connecting to SirusXM ??

Look up ECU tuning. People have been rewriting the assembly on ECU modules since they existed.

A single search online should find you multiple examples of PCM modifications as well.

Anyway since it's been proven that facts don't dissuade people that are dedicated to their position I'm going to stop here.

Have a good night. Help is on the way.
