There are software systems that in their license prevent you from tampering. I agree it is BS, if it is yours you should be allowed to customize it for YOUR use. If they start it with cars I am certainly in trouble. lol They should have the power to control you remarketing under their name certainly but not anything else. Whipple would have sure had a issue with Ford and GM with that kind of mindset. lol
