Is there a custom firmware to counter this? And is there a way to inject custom firmware into it?
It's very strange that no one has created a custom firmware to counter this.

The problem with that is that insurance companies would gladly interpret that as tampering of the vehicle, voiding your insurance and which will really fuck you up in case of an accident.

So now this is an ad? But when Apple does similar it's just letting you know about services offered. I consider both an ad.
Would upgrading to an aftermarket display system be capable of avoiding this?
Is it even possible to replace the head units on deeply integrated cars like this?

Wake up sheeple!
I don't live in the US but the last time I rented a car there the UI was festooned with functionality for Sirius XM that couldn't be removed or hidden. Not small icons, but big fucking chunks of the screen. I find this kind of thing intolerable. It's one thing to plug a service but if people don't want it, then hide it away and don't nag them about it ever again.
