    Id like to buy a modern vehicle that doesnt have 50% of the fancy doodads that i dont need or want, but are included as a standard feature.

    My 05 malibu the trip reset button is in the cars head unit, head unit dead, replaced with aftermarket, now cant reset trip, WHY?

    Not as bad as some newer cars where a new aftermarket radio simply isnt am option if you still want "fluffy unneccessary" features such as.... cruise control
     
    Boondock and mjd4277 Thank this.

    Soon you will see that your smartphone will be powering your cars ECM. It’s definitely coming. All you gotta do is download an app, and pair it and poof all the functions are now available. With in app purchases as well.


    This will cut down on redundancy in electronics in the car and your phone as well.

    Maybe Ford should just sell gliders. I got an old 460 I will put in a brand new F250.

    ....except for the MANY redundancies behind the steering/control mechanisms.
