Comment on The New Audi A3 Is Amess With In-Car Subscriptions
Threeme2189@sh.itjust.works 6 months agoThat remote start actually relies on an external service, so paying for it makes sense. Evetything else though? Yeah, fuck em.

Remote start trough an app is not possible to crack, but if you add a remote control like you have for a garage than it just sends a signal to start the car and doesnt use any services.

I mean you could, the real problem is it’s probably not legal for someone to make kits to replace what you would need to.

100% legal, you can loose your keys and go to a lockpicker and he would make you new keys and add them to your car. Its not legal id you do this to another car in the night and drive away with the car to sell it 😂

Perhaps, but that’s still a little different than selling a kit that replaces the factory equipment to replace the app and would depend on how exactly it was accomplished, after all those infotainment systems have license agreements, while I may be allowed to modify the software for my own head unit, providing it to others probably isn’t allowed, especially if I’m making a profit. So while it’s the kind of thing that should be legal, I’m guessing if anyone started selling kits to replace the dealer app with a third party one they’d be going to court.
