If I'm missing something please chime in or if anyone has something to add, please do so. If I want to add a key without paying exorbitant costs, I should be able to do that. If I want the dash display to show the HVAC functions, then I should have that choice. If I don't want the 2 honk feature when exiting my car, then let me disable it. If I want the push of my turn signal to be 5 flashes instead of 3, then I should be able to do that. This is total BS! Personally I think it's important for those wanting to change or add features on the auto they own, to be able to do just that.
Looks like many 2018 Ford vehicles and all future models will no longer have consumer access for modifications. Therefor Ford has complete control of any mods. From what I understand the system is cloud based (so no stand alone systems) and requires a license & password along with the VIN of the vehicle. It looks like Ford is eliminating everyone except those authorized by Ford from making any changes with the new FDRS system (Ford diagnostic and repair system).
