      I can’t find a list of models, but they still use the same system for other subscriptions

      I’m surprised you didn’t hear about that, because it was a huge controversy. it was limited to a few countries though (or maybe only the UK?)

        I heard of the heated seat subscription, just not the heated wheel option. We don’t have that in Canada.
