All I gotta say is that those manufacturers are IDIOTS!

Bow down to the rentiers. I’m sure they have plenty of support in FR land.

You can pay 40K for that car, but you can’t tinker with or fix it.

The EFF thinks the industry's desire to block exemptions has more to do with profits than safety.You think?

If that’s true then no one should be allowed to do covers of songs or Karaoke.

My 2008 Saturn Aura just had its front wheel bearings replaced by our neighborhood car guy. Great job adn much less expensive than if I ahd a dealer do it — or even a “repair shop.”

Screw GM. Rip out the OEM computer and deal with an aftermarket company that will sell one without copyright protection.

Very much so. I bet the gov’t would just love to send SWAT teams in to bust into a guy’s garage for fixing his own car.
To: Rusty0604
You own it, why can you not tweak it?
Understand, may void your warranty, outcome not guaranteed, must disclose to buyer, blah blah... but making it illegal? As in, Break down your door, shoot your dog and haul you away in handcuffs illegal? Why?

They truly are idiots.
Before this point there wasn’t much being done to manufacture a generic brain that could replace the chip in any car with functional but somewhat different software.
They are throwing down a gauntlet they will be helpless to unthrow.

ECM went out on my 02 Dodge....450 for a rebuilt...700 for a dealer. My next truck will be a non-millennial. Preferably 70’s vintage.
