No, you don't own the software in your car. The companies who disabled your car do, and by acquiring that car, you are subject to their whims. Because by signing that contract when buying that car, I bet you didn't amend it to make you owner of that software.

Don't settle for one thing just because that's what you know and has been in existence most of your life. Find and build better options.
