I don’t have time to do this justice right now. Here’s a case summary, though: Supreme Court Victory for Patent First Sale Doctrine | Electronic Frontier Foundation

They don’t know I even have a GPS to begin with, they don’t give me a discount for an in-motion disable feature, so why would I tell them?
I have done a little more searching on this and the only solutions I have found involve modifying the wiring, which I’m not going to do. I was hoping there was some sort of soft Easter egg hack, like the old flight-simulator-in-Excel trick. More news as it happens.
