The New Audi A3 Is Amess With In-Car Subscriptions [Update]
www.motor1.com
The 2025 Audi A3 looks sharper and comes with more tech, but you will have to pay a subscription for some basic in-car features.

So far there’s subscriptions for cruise control, adaptive beams, various navigation options, apple/google integration and my favorite, dual-zone climate.

    Just buy the audi and come to your local electrician, he will turn on all the functions, id rather die than let this shit happen.

    And then Audi gets the government to prosecute you for exercising your property rights “violating the DMCA by circumventing DRM.”

    The concept here is “ownership for me, serfdom for thee.”

      Nope, they have no power to do this, than they would prosecute the people who create tools to do diagnostics, add keys, program modules. They have zero ground on this.
