When I bought my Hyundai they pushed fucking hard to sign up for their Blue link product. Free for life! Look, map updates! You can personalize your driver profile pic! Want to remote start your car over the Internet?

Free for life? Here is always been free for only the first few years of ownership and then you pay, plus the system is fucking terrible and doesn’t work half the time.
Yeah, evidently they really, really want you to sign up. They upped the period from the first three years to as long as you own the car (it doesn’t transfer to a new owner if you sell it).
