      Saw that last night. I LOL'ed.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            Do they brick them on regular customers?

              When our brand new Subaru CrossTrek was stolen, I was following it on my phone 1,200 miles away and reporting the location with screen shots to the police through SMS texting. I so wanted the app to let me disable the car but it would not let me turn the engine off. That would have saved a lot of money because they crashed into another vehicle after running a red light, took the cops on a high speed chase through residential areas, and ended up crashing it again into a wall doing more than $8,000 in damage to it.

              All for the want of a disable function.

                They can if they want to.

                One of the hottest issues right now in the farm world is the right to work on your own equipment.

                  Remote immobilization of heavy equipments that move at high speed can be very dangerous. “Disable” a car at the wrong time and you can cause a multi car pile-up on a busy highway. You affect not only your vehicle but you can also cause deaths and inflict severe injuries to innocent bystanders.

                    How would "disabling" a car at the "wrong time" cause a "multi car pile-up on a busy highway"?

                      That was my thought as well. The driver is not expecting it.

                        How did we not hear about the Crosstrek theft? Or did I miss the thread?

                        How did they steal it. That’s pretty hard with newer cars other than carjacking.

                          My daughter was visiting a friend in a not so great neighborhood. She dropped her keys when exiting the car, and did not notice until it was too late. They went inside for a few minutes. When they came outside, the car was gone.
