Another way to have your identity stolen......

It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity. Or remorse. Or fear. And it absolutely will not stop. Ever. Until you are dead.

I wish they would forget all this crap and just concentrate on some basic genuine improvements, like just make the nav system Google Maps. I really didn't appreciate my trucks nav deciding that instead of going over the George Washington Bridge it took me through the middle of China town at 5pm on a Tuesday.

 

But seriously with all the capabilities of a tiny little cell phone now, you'd think your infotainment system could basically be an iPod built into the dash. They make it way more complicated and clunky than it needs to be.

The only good news is that they made it default to "off" so that you have to opt-in to this.

Just another gadget. Credit card works for me.

A lot of other things could be improved.

I won't even activate Android Pay on my phone. There's no way I'm doing this.

Will it also direct you to the nearest Krown-rust protection dealership?

Based on past order history?
