Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.

    It must be annoying to remove their mobile antennas though? It seems like most new cars have built-in connectivity.

      To be completely honest, I haven’t gone that extreme yet. I know where the antenna is and could disconnect it fairly easily, but for this particular model it doesn’t seem necessary. I’ve disabled all wireless connectivity (similar to airplane mode) and so far it persists through battery changes. No nags after the first one and no attempts to connect or re-enable wireless functionality, but I’m keeping an eye on it…
