    Are they going to take the Amazon Kindle route? Pay one price for the car or pay a lower price for the car that shows you ads? Not that the car makers would use it to lower the price of the cars, but raise the price of ad-free cars I’m sure.

      No, they won't.

      At best you'll get some sort of nearly worthless concession because they have to slap in cellular hardware to make the ad bit work - something like you'll get free traffic updates on your gps nav (sold seperately) - since they need some sort of enticement.

      No way they'd offer anything remotely looking like a meaningful discount.

        If I ever get a car with built in cellular like that it's getting ripped out so fast.

            The other thing I hate is the reverse lights going on when it's put in park. They're reverse lights.

              That's a GM thing, so other people notice your car and don't speed past in parking lots.
