I rented a Volkswagen a few months ago and yep, that checks out.

Also it was the first time in my life I had to search online how to reset a car entertainment system, because the screen suddenly didn’t work anymore.

A friend of mine bought a new VW a few years ago. He was so excited about that app it came with alerting him about unlocked doors, open trunk, open window, etc. Well, 100% false alert rate.

I wouldn't say the alert rate is 100%.

Many of the the alerts are technically accurate but do you really need an alert on your phone that your door is open as you're getting in/out of the car?
