    That's exactly what is for, keep people from trying to take advantage of the manufacturer for their own stupidity/mistakes.

    Can I bypass this? It is bad enough I already had to pay for this nonsensical garbage. By the way OP, can you include the last sentence that was cut off in the first picture... I am curious. Or, tell me what page in my manual I can find this?

    If you want to go down that rabbit hole...Go look at “Alphonso” and correlate that with Samsung TVs.

    They are listening and recording what you watch, when you watch it and send ultrasonic signals back and forth between the tv and the phone.

    I dunno what the NSA cares about how I drive, but damn the insurance companies sure could do a lot to change the way we drive if they offered us discounted rates in exchange for granting them access to this info. :devil: They're already giving discounts to those with fitbits, right?

    Gm started doing this in 2004-2005. Nearly all automobiles have them. It's a liability thing with the automakers.

    One wonders how long they have been recording this data versus how long they've had to disclose that they're doing so.

    Internet Of Things, ha! Now the bad guys can hack my car and my fridge.
