right, my “smart tv” is dumb as hell now and I have each hdmi hooked to a device that can still update.

...like your smart TV...

they lost the game when they locked everything behind a pay wall.

I get that having the battery warm up when going to a charging station is a neat feature, but seriously, dropping the Android/Apple Car Play interface is a huge mistake.
