My guess is there is an admin that knows where each contributor is from. And can approve or decline check in requests.

I bought my son a computer for Christmas and put an i9 in it. Not a great graphics card, but it gets the job done. Bought him some games on steam that play great. He was playing a first person shooter on chrome today.

Worth noting that these features appear to require your car to be connected to a cellular network. This isn’t the same as BMW charging a fee for heated seats.

They could have just put a SIM card in your car and required you to pay your cell phone provider for a connection.
