For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

    I just finished repairing my dads old head unit because even though he had a new unit from audi, it needed go to the dealer for pairing. You used to be able to do it over the phone with them for free but now you have to bring it in and pay.

    I get that they have a code to deter radio theft but charging for something you used to do over a free hotline is BS. It could even be one or the other, like I’d pay to use the hotline or bring the car into the dealer if it was free but not bring it in AND pay.

      The car company requiring you to pay them to change your hardware is theft.
