Tom, to prove that it’s not always the dealer, you just do one thing.

It’s illegal to ride in a “house trailer” in GA according to OCGA section 40-6-244. But it doesn’t say anything about a boat on a boat trailer.

Yet, here we are, Mary Barra walking around explaining that the company was run by mildly retarded people who ‘just didn’t know what was going on’

The cat is already out of the bag with this one for VW/Audi owners. We have VAG-COM. Changing that to a completely new system for new models would piss off their dealers, the shops that pay them money to have an official VAGCOM, and a good portion of the VW and Audi owners who have VCDS to diagnose their own cars.
