You're really going to scrap your car from 2015 because the off-brand android doo-hicky they stuck in it hasn't been updated?

Even if you're technically inclined, it's not like installing some community provided roms image on your slightly out-of-date flagship phone. The device likely has some proprietary aspects to it which would render it useless even if you attempted.

Don't scrap the car, but you shouldn't be connecting the doo-hicky to the internet any more.

The manufacturer sold you a part that would break for many purposes after a few years. Be mad at them, and strongly consider replacing it.

The part didn't break. Someone who thinks they know better decided to make it not work, and complicated some normal person's life with some security theater.

If a manufacture intentionally made a product they sold you not work, much like how Tesla disables fast charging capriciously, it would be a violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
