    I wonder if disconnecting the car’s cell antenna would prevent this crap from loading.

    Does this car have Android Auto/Carplay? Hopefully while that is active you can’t see the ad either.

      Could be like some of those TVs that have baked-in ads. So if you don’t have a data connection, they’ll just play the default ones.

      Edit: I imagine that the car to prevent you from unplugging the antenna would probably do the classic, “I haven’t had a data connection in X amount of time, therefore I cannot verify the security of the device, so we’re going to prevent the use of autoplay.”

        Or there’s an LTE chip soldered in there somewhere…

      They generally go into limp mode if they cannot report on you.

        I mean it’s a Jeep. You don’t buy that if you don’t want a limp car, anyways. :P
