This reminds me of iPhone lighting interface and cable and the EU who finally held Apple accountable to change from a proprietary cable for the waste created alone. An additional shame of Apple keeping lighting as an interface beyond having to give Apple more m suoney is that Lighting is inferior to USBc. Lighting is so slow and with an iPhone 13 ProMax the camera can film in 4k and the files are huge and lighting is not fast enough where USBc would be such an improvement for moving large video files.

BMW actions concern me and for both DIY and enthusiast who want to experiment and make mods. There is a real potential security concern on connected devices, but if you bought the device/car, denying access is not acceptable and there needs to be a method to access your own device/car for some basics IMO. If you mess it up, that's on you but denying access is not OK IMO.
