I imagine it's more federal regulations than the moco listening to customers.
The feds want all emissions reduced, and to eliminate the potential for us consumers to work on our vehicle or modify them.
In the beginning electronic ignition was more stable and precise than points with fewer moving, and fewer wear parts.
Then fuel injection came for same reason. Carbs are just a happy comprise at idle, off idle, main jet, and wide open full throttle.
Now Electronic throttle which when the bugs are worked out, should be better. Cables have a lot of slack in them even if you don't actually notice it.
But you're right, a company that subcontracts a radio that has not worked right for two years and an air temp gauge for 7, and they want their dealers to be able fix the fly by wire??? what a joke that is.
Yes the aftermarket will come up with solutions for everything in about a year.
I will be keeping my 06 and my next will be a used one.
Buy it for $10k or so and put $5k into it and it will be as good as a new one.mo!
