This just means that circumvention will be an lucrative industry.
For heated seats, someone will add a bypass that just adds a physical switch that is spliced directly somewhere between a power source and the actual heating element. Just have to figure out an aesthetic place to mount it. The only downside being, in this case you can't control it via an aPp or through the tablet that replaced the actual console controls. Big loss.
- sonthonax 4y agoYeah, heated seats are just wire filaments connected to the car’s power supply. That has to be trivial to bypass. Maybe as an added bonus you can turn it on with a button.
- rfiat 4y agoI think a much bigger downside would be its effect on the price of your insurance. I can't speak for any other country but in the UK insurers have a reputation for being petty about modifications. Even something as minor as a DIY heated seat switch would have to be declared to your insurer who could refuse to cover you or charge a silly premium for cover.
- ok123456 4y agoThat's a U(k) problem not a me problem. Here people put their cheap base model pick up truck on the highest, cheapest, Chinese lift kit that money can buy with no real effect on the price of their premium. You only pay more when you want to insure the cost of the replacement of your modified parts, which very few people are going to bother doing.
