    This should enrage you to the moon and back. This is THE anti-repair/anti-consumer that I’m talking about. I had the same issue the other day on my car rear brakes. A friend of mine is a mechanic and he has this Bluetooth device that he has to use to unlock MY FUCKING BRAKES. And he has to pay $1200 a year subscription fee to update/unlock that software from Hyundai, otherwise it stops working. A car that is completely paid off is locked by the maker and I can’t just change the brake pads and rotor on it. This made me extremely mad. I didn’t know about it and now I’ll make sure my next car doesn’t have this shit on it.
