but that wouldnt stop you from buying the switch and putting it in your own. and mitsubishi wasnt removing your service apointments or cancling your subscriptions when you complained.... or modified your car... and i will bet you could order the parts missing direct from mitz as well as having them install them or...gasp a third party garage.

Constant drm checks are what's different. I in the old days, the company cannot track you as efficiently as today, so you have more freedom to modify you car. Today there is a somewhat live update of what you are doing with your car, and the company has the power and means to punish you accordingly.
