A Jeep was the worst car I've ever had

Sounds like the Jeep corporate execs should be charged with all the crimes that result from road rage incidents involving people who own Jeep products.
-
Absolutely fucking not.
Though it does sound like a good kicker for the after market systems to make a comeback.
Not a chance. The new “infotainment” clusters integrate necessary features like climate control to prevent aftermarket replacements in most vehicles. I honestly don’t know if any manufacturers even use the single and double DIN standards anymore.

Please do. But keep in mind, when I invariably get jump-scared by your infotainment system and crack my head on the car ceiling, I'm going to turn your revenue stream into my personal early retirement pension.

The ad they show is an ad for their own extended warranty package and it says that "Odometer must be less than 36000 miles to purchase" Anyone wanna take bets for whether or not that will actually shut up once you go over 36k miles? (I'm betting no)
We're really deep into nightmare territory with the kind of stuff companies feel its ok to do to customers..

The car screen is a nice flat surface to attach the suction cup of your phone mount.

Dodge was owned by DaimlerChrysler in 99. I only know that because my family was in the car business and weren't happy about that merger
Yep, all connected /same garbage IMHO I was a big DSM (Diamond Star Motors) fan back in the mid/late 90's had a couple AWD Talons.

No fucking way. Not even if the car was free.
Now hold on there, I'd let them do the ads and the vehicle tracking bs if the car was nice and it was free.
If I'm buying the car, there's no fucking way.

If the jeep even makes it to 36k.

Ok, I’ll bite.
Did OP just time travel 25 years and post something from Slashdot?
I mean fark.com is still kicking, last I checked. I feel like some of these old sites are the web equivalent of BIFL products.

And if the only way you remember that is by a strong hook and bass line, I've got you covered.

The really funny thing is that the only reason I even know about Barbara Streisand is because of that picture.

A friend of mine bought a Jeep last year and it looked cool so we were thinking if this would be something for us as a next car.
But sadly I'm allergic to advertisement, so I guess a Jeep is out of question until they rethink it.
I don't recommend anyone buy a Jeep, not because of the ads but because they're built like shit. Quality has been in free fall for decades while prices have skyrocketed. Death wobble issues (Wranglers), motor reliability out the window, rust, more rust, just not worth it.
I owned a 94 Cherokee and I loved it, and even though that 4.0L straight 6 had problems at least it would still run with bad piston rings, mysterious battery drain and holes in my radiator. The new ones just can't compete.

There'll be a special maintenance package that will be available. Then it'll be ads for new Stellantis vehicles.

I was looking for a car a few months ago and was looking at newer models, used, but mostly less than a decade old. Then I started reading about all the tracking and such.
I gave in to my inner teenager and bought a 2001 Porsche 911.
The entertainment center can connect via Bluetooth but there's no Android Auto, no navigation. It has Sirius XM but I never had a subscription to it and never will.
I might add a backup camera but that's it. My phone is more than enough tracking, even with as much of it shut off as possible.
