Why in the #ell would anyone want to be a dealer if EVERYONE could get EVERYTHING that being a dealership gets and currently protected by the manufacture for the dealer's investment of millions of $$$$?? If nothing is exclusive and protected for "dealers only" why be a dealer with overhead, employees to pay, parts to stock, service to provide, etc., Just open a shop in your garage or driveway and have access to EVERYTHING the manufacture has and at dealer prices. The original subject was about paying a subscription fee for a "service" for wifi based long range remote start which IMO is no different than a subscription for SiriusXM or any other service or GPS map updating. Do you think that "free" close range remote start is going to go away or become a subscription based option?? Don't worry some manufacture will still offer it baked into the suggest retail price as "free" and continue to force others to also do so. No one is stopping anyone from working on anything they want to.............just don't ask to buy factory direct at dealer cost, just go and find those cheaply made knock off Pacific Rim items that are stolen from USA and other manufactures. Wow has no one ever heard of patents??? Whew I think I feel better
