I can change anything on my ford as long as the resulting vehicle is road legal.
- randomdata 11y agoWhat does Ford do differently with respect to software on their, say, entertainment system or ECU computers that Apple doesn't do with their iOS devices to allow you to draw this distinction?
- venomsnake 11y agoYou can easily replace the ECU of the car.
- randomdata 11y agoMeaning that you can easily replace an entire computer system with another entirely different computer system? What stops you from doing the same with your iPhone? (i.e. buying, say, an Android device)
- x0054 11y agoHave you personally ever done so? I have, and it ain't so easy, especially if you are not just swapping in a piggyback system, but actually installing a whole new ECU.
- madeofpalk 11y agoIs Ford violating anti-trust law by not letting you change the software (GSP app, for example) that runs on their dash system?
- mseebach 11y agoNot without voiding the warranty. Incidentally, the exact same thing is true of the iPhone.
- chrisseaton 11y agoDo you think it's right to expect someone to warrant something with work after you have modified it beyond how it has been designed to be modified?
