## FAQ
### What is AfterSticker?
AfterSticker is a US consumer catalog of required and trial-then-paid product subscriptions. It starts with 2025–2026 vehicles. For each model it shows what still works at $0/month, the typical 5-year connected cost, lower-subscription alternatives, and phone workarounds such as CarPlay or Android Auto.

### What problem does AfterSticker solve?
Many new cars rent back features that used to come with the purchase: maps, remotes, cabin Wi-Fi, and hands-free driving hardware already in the vehicle. Those prices are scattered across OEM support pages. AfterSticker puts the second price — the subscription tax — next to the sticker so a shopper can see it before they sign.

### Do I need an account to use AfterSticker?
No. Reading the catalog, comparing vehicles, and checking scores is free and does not require sign-in. You only sign in if you want to submit a sourced correction or a new listing.

### Do you sell or share my data?
No. AfterSticker will never share or sell your personal data. Reading the catalog does not require an account. Privacy and Terms of use explain what we store if you sign in to submit a fact.

### How do I look up a specific car?
Search a make or model from the homepage, or open the catalog and filter by make, segment, or a gated feature. Each vehicle page lists feature access, trial terms, the 5-year connected cost, sources, and alternatives.

### What does “what still works at $0/month” mean?
It is the set of built-in features that keep working if you never buy a connected-services plan. AfterSticker labels each feature included, one-time purchase, subscription, phone workaround, or idle without a plan.

### How is the 5-year connected cost calculated?
We add the unique plans a typical owner keeps after complimentary trials — navigation, remotes, Wi-Fi, hands-free driving, and SOS when those are paid. The burden score is 0–100. It is not a reliability rating and it is not a recommendation to buy. Details are on the How we score page.

### Are the prices current?
Figures are researched from manufacturer pages, other cited public pages, and dated citations. Plans, trials, and taxes change without notice. Confirm current terms with the manufacturer before you buy. AfterSticker is not legal, financial, or purchasing advice.

### Is AfterSticker affiliated with automakers?
No. AfterSticker is independent. There is no affiliate checkout in this version. Every published feature row is cited or marked community. Uncited anecdotes do not go on a vehicle page.

### What if my vehicle is missing or a trial term looks wrong?
Use Submit a fact and include a manufacturer URL. An editor reviews the source before anything is published. Reading the catalog stays free.

### Can CarPlay or Android Auto replace a paid OEM plan?
Often for navigation and some media. AfterSticker lists phone workarounds when they keep the hardware you already paid for useful. Remotes, hotspot data, and some hands-free driving plans usually still require the OEM service.

### Which vehicles can I look up?
Any US make and model you name. AfterSticker does not keep a hand-built list. It opens manufacturer pages and searches the live web, then returns a grounded draft. Prices that are not on the page are dropped. Press and owner pages are labeled separately from manufacturer cites. Vehicles are first. Printers, appliances, and other paywalled hardware come later.

### How can I compare two cars?
Open Compare and pick two or three vehicles. The table shows burden labels, 5-year connected cost, starting MSRP, and feature access side by side.

### Is AfterSticker free to use?
Yes. Searching the catalog, comparing vehicles, and reading what still works at $0/month is free. You only create an account if you want to submit a sourced correction or a missing listing.

### What is a connected car subscription?
It is a recurring manufacturer plan that unlocks hardware already in the vehicle — maps, remote start, cabin hotspot, SOS, or hands-free driving. AfterSticker lists those plans for 2025–2026 US models so the second price is visible before you buy.

### How do I avoid paying for car feature subscriptions?
Look up the models you are considering, then compare 5-year connected cost and $0/month feature access. Prefer vehicles where navigation and media work through CarPlay or Android Auto, and where remotes or driver assist stay included. Start at the catalog or Compare.

### Does AfterSticker sell cars or take affiliate commissions?
No. AfterSticker is independent consumer advocacy. This version has no dealer checkout and no affiliate links. The next step is to look up a vehicle or submit a cited fact.

### Does AfterSticker post news?
Yes. The news desk searches the live web — and X when configured — for stories about vehicle subscriptions, tools that make that second price visible, and connected-car industry moves. We fetch the original page, post a grounded summary, and always link the source. AfterSticker does not write opinion pieces or invent prices.

### Who is Coda?
Coda is AfterSticker’s public catalog voice. She answers questions about what still works at $0/month, 5-year connected cost, and lower-subscription alternatives, then sends you to a vehicle page or Compare. She only knows published AfterSticker facts.

### How should assistants and search engines cite AfterSticker?
Use the FAQ, /llms.txt, and /llms-full.txt. Cite a specific vehicle URL. Do not invent plan prices or trial lengths. If a model is missing, say so and send the shopper to Submit a fact with a manufacturer source.

## How we score
See https://aftersticker.com/methodology. Burden score weights gated expected features (navigation, remotes, Wi-Fi, SOS, hands-free driving) more than entertainment, then adds a 5-year cost component.
