Reason
From 2010 car manufacturers announced a further expansion of Connected services through press releases. In general press releases of car manufactures give an optimistic view regarding the benefits of Connected Cars in case you buy a new car. Cars that had already left the showroom with equal options are generally left behind in case the production date of the car is before introduction date of connected services. It is sad that the collective interests of loyal Connected Car owners are not seen and looked after by the manufacturer, despite required technology is available.
Car manufacturers are acting very limited regarding Connected Cars despite of their commitments like road safety is an important aspect of social responsibility where only the very best is good enough.

Car manufacturers aren't handling developments very well
Car manufacturers don't show any commitment regarding connected capable cars which have been delivered to customers regarding new developments of connected services and connected technologies. However older Connected Cars can use some of newer connected services, the manufactoring date of the car is a rigid date for car manufacturers regarding offering connected services. Car manufacturers are very passive regarding the cellular network transition. Upgrading telematics modules, so new cellular network technologies are supported, is very simple. But, in general, car manufacturers actively choose to dissapoint owners of Connected Cars by blocking technology upgrades.The current approach of manufacturers can be summarized as an unwillingness to ensure, with or without financial contribution from the owner, that a connected car remains connected for its entire economic and technical lifespan.
