I was thinking about the BMW rental seat heaters. Just unplug the cable and run power to the seat. How lame are people these days?

Not so fast - just like the chip that verifies you’re putting in an ‘authentic’ printer cartridge, you can bet BMW has made it almost impossible to get around.

Yup. Pretty easy bypass on that item. The crippleware suppliers are begging to have the vehicle "rooted" in the vernacular of cellphone jailbreak hackers.
