It may also be a precursor to the inability to be able to work on your own vehicles. 5, 10, 15 year future plans (and for past how many years?) car manufacturers have been trying to lock all electronics (tractor maker John Deere as well), to have proprietary electronics installed to thwart the aftermarket route. This may have been a future plan to long term service dept revenue that has backfired. Suffice to say they (Chrysler) and Benz may not want to co-operate to fix this (anyone remember how the breakup of Benz and Chrysler went?

HUGE props to all who are or were trying to solve this, I do know many have swore off the Chrysler brand because of the way they have treated their customers. From the Takata airbag issue, to the damned SKREEM issue, and many more, they want to divorce themselves of Chrysler withl Benz/Fiat co-operation (remember it isn't just Chrysler anymore!). IMHO...

I know whoever does successfully figure this out will make huge amounts of $ unless they are an owner along the lines of tighed1 and many more, who we all know are dedicated XF owners and generous people
