Today its all "Computerized" needs go back 2 Dealership has the "Software" to program it.
Also the Screens and this "Infotainment Transportation System
Back in the Day a vehicle was "Transportation"not "Infotoinement".
All that extra garbage in there whoopty do dah
Back in the day ya fix that yourself or buy a case a beer order pizza invite your freinds over make it a Saturday Afternoon prodject but it would go after that that between all of ya somebodys dad worked on a different car could figure it out
They also co$t what a Starter House used 2 Co$t with all that extra crap but ya cant fix that yourself anymore so when the Warranty Exipres ya "F-Worded"
Remember "Back In The Day" a Stove, Refriderator, a Washer Dryer last almost 20 years.
Today its all "Teched" Up aint worth repairing so ya throw it on curb 4 the scap metal guys every 5/6 years or so go to Lowes grab a new one
Now I do know in the "Dollars" back then that was more "Real $$$$" money than today but people back then "expected" stuff would last a "Generation" not have 2 buy new one every 5 years or so
