I am not sure what would grate on me more - this happening every so often, or my vehicle demanding that I click “I accept” every time I start it when it reminds me not to use the screen while driving. Thousands of times since I bought the vehicle I’ve had to acknowledge that no, I haven’t forgotten that Chrysler wants to cover its ass.

I have a BMW, in fact I have had multiple, both in Europe and in the USA.

The European version does not have nag screen when you start the car. Nor does it have one when I put the car in reverse.

The US one has both.

I leveraged the fact that they have world-wide software with just 'settings' that can be turned on and off.

That way I now no longer have a nagscreen, and I have headlights that turn with my steering wheel.
