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 ?

It's not like older vehicles came with those features enabled by default. On my 15 year old pickup you can't have any of that even if you paid for it. I think this is not quite the same as other brands that are locking you out of features like heated seats.

Pretty sure there were cars around 15 years ago with remote start, heated seats, and fancy ways to lock and unlock. No there weren’t phone apps, but nobody wanted that - key fobs worked just fine.

My 2021 jeep’s key fob has an unbelievable range and works fine. My wife’s ford does have a phone app, but it’s completely free.

This is nothing more than a money grab.

Not "start from anywhere" like this service is.
