My mother bought a new car. As I am the tech person she asked me to setup the system for the maps and all that.

Well, turns out that in order to give internet to the car, she needs an app on her phone, registered with her name, address, phone number, and all the personal info you gave to the sales person. No app tracking you means no maps in the car.

I gave up because it was telling me that I didn't enter the correct personal information. Fuck that shit.
