Imagine how retarded someone has to be to want a microcontroller attached to your individual lights. But this is in place so everything on vehicles can communite with each other, ensuring only certified parts are used. Likewise, everyone continues to move to the mandatory programming model. If you replace a part, the ECU or other module requires reprogramming. Normally they charge 1-2 hours for this, at dealership rates. So expect an additional fee of $120 - $300 just to be allowed to replace a part on YOUR vehicle.
I see absolutely no consumer protection companies suing to ensure programmability remains free and available to owners.
"You will own nothing and be happy."
