As a guy that has not bought a different car since 1995 for myself, I do not understand so much of modern cars features that most seem to just accept.
All sorts of cars now come with a GPS integrated into the car system. Upgrading while in warranty is a breeze. 10 years out, forget it. One of the local PCA members has a 996 Turbo. It is now impossible for him to even get an update for the Porsche GPS system.
When we ordered my wife's Macan, we deliberately did not want the GPS option. We got Apple Connect. As long as Apple connect works, the display from our cell phone will be put on the dash, and the GPS is always updated, and whatever app we want can work as the GPS. I bet in 20 years people will look at Apple connect and wonder what it was. Like try viewing your VHS video movies.
She will want a new car in 7 or 8 more years so it will not be our problem.
My old 85 911 can operate as long as gasoline and oil are available just as designed from the factory.
