    I'm wondering what's the situation like in EU. Seems like, under GDPR, I should be able to not consent to tracking and still have the connected functionality remain working. I haven't had the experience of setting up any new cars in EU, does anyone know whether you're provided with an explicit choice regarding data collection? Whether it's then honored might be a different question though.

      You don’t: either you accept the tracking and can use the feature you are paying for (e.g. Updated gps maps) or you don’t all together.

      Put on top of that freakin bugs and non optimized performance for all screens in the vehicule, and you get a wonderful experience…
