Right to Repair Memorandum of Understanding

Interesting development just took place, this link is to an industry press release on the long battle on access to the software and dealer only information on auto repair.

"We are excited that consumers and independent repair facilities around the Nation will have the same access to the information, tools and software needed to service late model computer controlled vehicles as is required under the Massachusetts right to repair statute," said Kathleen Schmatz, President and CEO of the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association. "We believe that the resulting competitive repair market is a win-win for car companies, the independent repair industry and most importantly consumers."

Thanks for the post. That's good info. I don't suppose that this will include access to encrypted fueling, timing, and boost protocols. Now that would be good news.

Nothing yet on a solution to what's going on when your woman crosses her arms and says 'Well - - FINE!'? Now, that information would be useful.
