There are quite a few parts on modern cars already that you cannot just replace on your own car with either a new or used replacement because before they will work, they require a "relearning" procedure that only the dealership computers can initiate and those computers have to be online, connected to the automaker's mothership when they do it. So basically DRM on car repair/parts is already a thing.
