I can’t. I just can’t.

    Happy for you, but onstar shares the infotainment circuit on my vehicle. The only way to disable it is to dismantle the dash, remove the whole infotainment unit, and remove the circuit board for onstar. Which likely has some warranty implications, as well.

    Hope to get to it soon, but what a hassle.

      If there’s enough demand, I imagine that there will be shops that will do it without individuals having to research it.

        If the manufacturer designs it so that I have to disassemble the entire engine just to replace the spark plugs, I’m still going to be irritated even if I can just pay some people a ton of money to replace them for me.

          I mean, yeah, just saying that if lots of people want it done, it’s probably gonna be more-efficient to take that route. Like tinting windows or other popular aftermarket modifications.
