    I doubt there would be any auto shops that can reliably deal with software side elements that aren’t the dealership, and the dealership would refuse.

      Car manufacturers are required by law to offer the same tools that dealers use for independent repair shops to repair their vehicles.

      Some cars are more programmable than others. BMWs for example you can change pretty much anything about the car. But most cars aren’t as modifiable as them.

        I doubt car manufacturers offer the ability to jailbreak their car OS to independent repair shops.

        You’re looking for a hacker, not a dude who changes oil.

        Until you find out the cars won’t start without them :(

        We’re in a scary new world… I’m glad I’m old with no kids and not in great health.
