    Did anyone ever try splicing some wires to provide direct power supply to the heating elements? Then again, I wouldn’t put it past BMW to make this brick the car due to “hEaT pIrAcY”

      Lmao, you can bypass a Tesla to get all the subscription stuff, so I’m sure someone’s figured out this nonsense too
