"Licence key for online services has expired". Owner of Kia Sportage 2016 car got this message when the 7 year warranty had expired. Map system could not be updated any more. Furthermore, the online services cannot be extended after 7 years, the owner was informed. Even if map is not essential for driving a car, it is crazy a 7 year old car is too old. I wonder, when is essential software not possible to update any longer. Cars are the new smartphones. Ref Vi Bilägare 9/2023, reader's corner.
