Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.

Oh, look...!!

Yet another good reason I'll not buy a new car. 🙄

Perfectly happy with my current 03 model thank you...

Seriously! My 2003 has a CD player and a tape deck

[–] lupusblackfur@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

😂 🤣

Yeah, mine did too...

I updated the "entertainment deck" to a unit with aux, usb, sd card, and Android Auto (which is what I really wanted).

All good!!

Is that an 8-track tape deck? 😉

My ‘15 car is amazing except for the fact that it only has slow-ass laggy Bluetooth and NO AUX JACK

The removal of 3.5mm jacks with no simple, universal, physical way to connect an audio device has been such a thorn in my side.
