Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones. We’re talking full-dash, head-unit-commandeering infomercial panels in your RAM 1500, like you’re driving a Times Square billboard on wheels.

    Seems pretty stupid to drop six-figures on a utility vehicle

    Remote connectivity can be disabled in the head unit using the normal interfaces. If you aren’t comfortable modifying your vehicle you don’t have to.

    If you want to go the extra mile. Deactivate the radios in firmware.
