I wonder if this wouldn't disable / take out a bunch of the telematics, though.Just go into the headliner and cut their roof antenna wires before they shut you down. .
When John Deere tried it --- there were a lot of hacks from Bulgaria and Russia and JD fired up the lawsuits.I wonder if this wouldn't disable / take out a bunch of the telematics, though.
That said, I'm sure someone(s) will figure out a hack for this.
In the meantime, don't buy +'18 MY Toyotas!
(and my own input... if this is true, I'm with the VOP and our other members on this... undisclosed post-purchase subscriptions for non-entertainment features (e.g.; SatRad, etc.)... are utter CRAP.
(I'd use other language, but we do try to keep it somewhat clean, here.)
Potential class action on this from Mr. Lehto or one of his counterparts (he's done other automotive CAs in the past, and represented people on 'lemon law' issues, RV matters, etc.)
I can't remember all the words --- but when I bought my first motorcycle --- a Yamaha YZ-250, there was a safety booklet in the tool kit compartment.I liked this one:
"WARNING Risk of injury from using the windshield wiper..."
It kind of reminds me of badly translated owners manuals.
"WARNING Risk of injury from washing children in the machine"

2. If passing a horse and rider on equestrian path, tootle horn melodiously and pass with the greeting Hi Hi!
3. Should children present upon sidewalk, assure personal escape direction.
4. Wearing of safe clothing assures less worn bones.
5. If passage of time requires new fuel, please that there is nothing smoking

I set up and operate a 300 ton (pressure capability, not weight) stamping press. We use check fixtures to check the accuracy of the parts we produce. Within the past year we got a number of dies made in China (thanks a LOT, Honda!) and one of them was assigned to my press. The tool & die supervisor and I spent at least an hour trying to decipher the Engrish (www.engrish.com) instructions for the check fixture! The QA team lead looked at the instructions and said that he would redo them, in real English this time. He did.I had a Chinese tiller motor for a boat. The translation for how to use reverse was probably the funniest thing I've ever read. If you followed the directions you ended up with like 720 degrees of rotation.
