==Background==

~~{{Placeholder box|Information about the product/service history to provide the necessary context~~ surrounding ~~the incident}}~~

The controversy surrounding [[Stellantis]]' infotainment advertisements is part of a larger trend in the automotive industry, where manufacturers have been experimenting with subscription-based features and monetization of vehicle services. In recent years, BMW introduced charges for heated seats, while Mercedes placed performance enhancements behind paywalls. Now, Stellantis' decision to integrate advertisements into vehicle interfaces has reignited debates over consumer rights and ownership expectations.

This feature, which has been met with widespread criticism, disrupts driver experience by displaying ads whenever the vehicle comes to a stop.

~~===[Company]'s response===~~

Reports indicate that Jeep owners, in particular, have been subjected to advertisements for Mopar’s extended warranty services. These ads require manual dismissal before users can resume normal system operation, such as checking GPS navigation or adjusting media settings.
