Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console.

This garbage feature was spotted in the wild, where a Charger owner posted a photo of their infotainment screen absolutely hijacked by an ad for an extended warranty. Take a look!

Yeah, so... Let's follow the money, right? This is how I make sense of basically everything in life.

Stellantis gets paid by SiriusXM for every unit they ship with this crap pre-installed. SiriusXM gets paid by either themselves, when they advertise SiriusXM membership to drivers, or they get paid by advertisers. The Mopar Extended Warranty, I bet Mopar is paying for the ad placements.
