    I hate electronics in cars.

    Efi and abs. Thats all anyone needs. Roll downs, manual, no screen, no digital gauge shit.

    Sadly thats illegal to build now. And why cars cost so much.

      I don’t mind electronics out of hand, but I don’t want my car to automatically be a data source for the manufacturer and remote control should be impossible, or at the very least something the owner can disable.

      Unfortunately, neither is true of my 2019 Chevy Volt. Maybe my next EV.

        I’ve been wondering about the viability of using the modem in my Jeep, it would be cool to see what it does on a test bench with some spare sensors sending test data.

        If I decide to keep the car (been debating trading it for an older truck), I’m definitely removing it at the least, but its hardware I bought and I love playing with old discarded hardware.
