We should all start asking around our local auto shops that handle software and ask if they disable gps or internet services.

It's not illegal to modify your own vehicle (yet) so jailbreaking these shitty cars would be an awesome service.

I doubt there would be any auto shops that can reliably deal with software side elements that aren't the dealership, and the dealership would refuse.
