my phone barely fit in my '19 sierra... it also baaaaarely fits in my navigator.

whereas honda accord's wireless pad could fit a fuckin' samsung note im pretty sure

Both our Hyundais have basically the same charger but one faces forward and one back. Plenty of room for a bigger phone too

GM trucks and SUVs were a disaster with wireless charging. I had a cheat sheet of all the phones that wouldn’t work due to size, or because the charger was so weak it couldn’t ping the phone to start charging.

What's interesting is if you look online the Onstar Connected service only costs $25/mo which is $300/year vs $1500 for 3 years with them "bundling" it.

The service includes HD video streaming, I think I'd end up trying to figure out a way to fuck with that and stream as much data as humanly possible to be a dick. This is nothing more than usery by GM to get people to pay for shit they'll never use.

I think from what I've seen while shopping for a new car lately and seeing markups is that dealers/manufacturers can add whatever they want on top of cars and people will pay it anyway. Us car folk may be different but we're a drop in the bucket.

I'm thinking my Cruze is going to be my DD for a long ass time at this rate.

Please PLEASE HAPPEN.

NJ moving to ban car subscriptions for things like heated seats...

 

[Mr_Roboto]

That would greatly improve my opinion of NJ.

A pol could probably successfully campaign for re-election based on passing a law like that.
