just replace subscriptions with a one-off charge for any feature. Warranty void if enabled not in a dealer shop.

The car owner has every right to use every hardware capability physically present in the car, "enabled" or not. Manufacturers have no right to deny warranty claims based on owner modification, unless they can prove that said modification caused the failure.
