I'd love if there were a bring-your-own option. A usb-a port you can plug in your kwn always on cellular controller to. It's unfortunate as hell for car companies that they need to become maintainers of Internet of Cars infrastructure that needs to stay running, that brings legal obligation & maintenance. It's be better for consumers if there were free market options, and it's save so much pain and development costs if car companies could get out of having to DIY all these IoT offerings.

You probably just hit a billion dollar idea. Come up with a (many really) car computer replacement. They generally use standard protocols and there can only be so many variations. Your solution could end all the car subscriptions, give more and better options, unlock heated seats, etc. With physical access to the car there is only so much a manufacturer could do to stop it.
