Well, along those lines, my ancient honda had to go to the dealer about
a year ago. The immobilizer failed. I picked up a used on on ebay but
only a honda dealer was allowed to have the software to reprogram it.
The dealer charged $300 for a tidbit of work.
Perhaps that makes some sense, though. If anyone could have that
software, crooks could get it and reprogram anybody's car.
I haven't followed the Tesla lawsuit(s). I strongly believe people
should be able to work on their own cars (and other equipment). It will
be interesting to see whether the blanket can be pulled off so that only
smaller elements of "proprietary" systems need be kept hidden.
