And yet, if your car had a 3G telematics system involved (the SOS button, among other things), you’re out of luck next year. They’re doing NOTHING about it.

They sold 2017 cars with a time bomb that goes off in 2022, and nothing to do about it. LTE capable devices were around for years at that point.

You may have just sold a lot of 2017 Toyotas with that piece of information!
I agree. Knowing that I can buy up to a 2017 model without easy mass surveillance means I no longer have to stop shopping for vehicles until whatever year they first introduced those 'features'.
