    I find the subscription model leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I’d rather pay up front or pay to add it later. I also firmly believe in voting with you wallet and it doesnt matter w…

    Probably a good idea, I pretty much eliminated them from the list of possibilities when shopping for a car this year because of this. I’m just one data point but I’m pretty sure im…

    So the configuration is a one time thing to set the card parameters, you shouldn’t need to touch it once its setup for your panels and layout. As far as I know it can only be done …
