Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop
-
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.
Buy used!

I'm curious what the customer agreement is for this? Is it in relatively plain sight or is this buried deep in the purchase agreement

No fucking way. Not even if the car was free.

Stop
Buying New Shit I could run a whole community on how to recycle, reuse, repurpose. Why the hell are people buying new cars?!

There's exactly zero chance I'd buy a car that showed me ads.
There was already zero chance I'd buy a Stellantis vehicle anyway after buying a brand new 1999 Dodge Durango that started rusting out sitting on our garage.
And while they did the bare minimum to remove the rust, but they didnt stand behind it. There was no way we were keeping it or buying anything else from them.
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

You don't need to be allergic to advertisement to avoid shit like this. The fucking audacity of companies these days. There is no place they won't get to shove the damn things to the detriment of every product, service, and personal moment. If they could put screens under your eyelids you'd have to watch drug ads one blink at a time and your dreams would be sponsored by AT&T.

Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram,
Not just a Jeep thing.
Holy cow. They've done the impossible - they've found a way to make a Dodge into a shittier vehicle. I am awestruck.

Ok, I’ll bite.
Did OP just time travel 25 years and post something from Slashdot?

Jeep is a Stellantis product. Literally the worst quality auto manufacturer in North America. They are circling the drain and jacking up the prices on their vehicles and making Pikachu faces when they don't sell. Their only customers are people who don't know how to research their purchases, and putting advertisement hell into their cars is another example of that. I suspect they will not be in business a decade from now.
It'll be less than a decade

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.

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.

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.
