I have a KIA, it is decent but I would love more freedom ans I sont trust that access will remain free. VW is paid now.

I am in europe and looking to buy in2027.

    Yeah I’m not, I have a number of options and this is a point of consideration.

    All cars are required to have a sim since 2016, I wish they didnt have manufacturer access but they do. I thought maybe I would get someone pointing out how to get access locally

        Yeah, tbh I want to decouple from tech providers completely and part of that would be enabling smart features to work locally in the car or back to a home server. I wish it were possible, currently you cant even get a FOSS alternative to apple or android auto

            The duopoly prevents it. In theory it should be simple to plug something other in and use it but the manufscturers dont allow for it.

            Maps, music, calls and messages. None of this needs to be google and apple.
