like, sure, I could take it in. but that’d mean I’d have been in a crash. just don’t crash. my first car didn’t even have a passenger airbag, they should consider themself lucky it might work at all
Ding ding. Airgaps get broken when you bring it to the dealer, they plug it in, and it downloads and uploads all your data.
You gotta neuter the sensors
maybe it’s different here in Europe, but why not avoid dealerships all-together? do you just not have third party mechanic shops?
What do you think the third party mechanic plugs into the car to read data from the computer?
are they also forced by the company to send them the data?
No, but you think they’re going to use open source software?? The dealer wrote the software. They’ll make it call home to the mothership.
Unless you find a mechanic that will perma airgap their computer. Good luck
good point, I never thought about that. sounds like we should keep our mechanics to higher standards haha
which is so annoying because even just isolating the program in a VM would solve the issue
Don’t bring it to the dealer, they way overcharge for repairs anyway…
recalls are unavoidable, however
Only if you take it in. Sacrifices must be made…
that’s how I treat my airbag recall
like, sure, I could take it in. but that’d mean I’d have been in a crash. just don’t crash. my first car didn’t even have a passenger airbag, they should consider themself lucky it might work at all
some airbag recalls are because they increase your risks of injury or death. do not ignore an airbag recall PLEASE.
lol I was just kidding. I got it done when I got the car.
