[QUOTE="decipha, post: 16289463, member: 74327"] All I hear is fear right now and worse case scenarios. None of which is true. Everyone please do not believe this fake news crap. The EPA has been wanting to crack down on emissions since inception this is nothing new in fact it is their purpose. Its not about eliminating emissions thats futile its about reducing it. John Deere and GM were the first to hop on board a few years back but their efforts failed due to some issues they had (monetary sharing from what I heard.) Big businesses stay in business by making profits. When that is threatened they have to do whats best for them. Thats all I can say about that. With that said newer vehicles will still be able to be reprogrammed. Despite GM announcing its hard locked pcm's its in the manufacturers best interest. Take ford for example. Many years ago a ford engineer created a very popular custom tuning solution for reprogramming stock ford ecus. At the time it put ford at the fore front of modifications since vehicles were able to be tuned for said changes. This opened up a significant aftermarket following for FRPP. At that time near stock LS1's were destroying all but the most heavily modified ford products. That quickly turned when Ford performance parts flooded the market and as such competition pushed pricing way down as compared to other manufacturers for similar modifications. This opened even more doors as more companies were creating more products as well to support more modifications since there was support. And in return Ford seen more vehicle sales since die hard enthusiast knew they wouldnt be locked down like toyota for example. Ford is a vehicle company their primary concern is selling new vehicles. It wasnt until fairly recently that toyota openly gave away their reprogramming info so their vehicles could be modified as well. Well why did they do that?

Again toyota seen what was going on and wanting a piece of the action as it only benefits them in all areas of the company. This is all possible due to being able to custom tune and drive your vehicle worry free. Don't think for a second thats coming to an end. More difficult? Yes. More expensive? Yes. [/QUOTE]
