    I worked for a certain media company that sold hardware / software in cars with memberships (typically through a deal with the OEMs). For those customers that have the hardware-only experience, a set of testing IDs can be applied that effectively give free membership and can’t really be revoked because of their wide-use in initial manufacturing provisioning. There have been multiple independent security reviews pointing this out, but not much can be done about it because of how the trial memberships are applied after manufacturing.

      I am VERY interested in your knowledge here. Feel free to DM me if you don’t want to post the info publicly. I pay this company, so I’m not looking for a free ride. I’m mostly just interested in how it all works.
