That's the point. Sears doesn't make a wrench that only fits your Jeep.. No your buddy can borrow it and use it on their Jeep. What's the difference one is a hard tool one is an electronic.

Sears doesn't make $150 wrenches that are based on a ton of R&D.

When there can be millions of lines of code in these electronic devices, you can't honestly compare this to a hammer or wrench. What seems simple takes lots of brain time to accomplish.

Free energy only takes compressing two atoms together. ( the sun ) If its sounds simple, why can't we do it?

The only thing they did was find a way to hack the ecu of the Jeep. By writing a program and engineering a circuit with dip switches to modify what Chrysler engineers developed. Probably took some hacker a few days to write and a person who designs circuits a few days to make the module. Believe me it's already paid for. They just want to charge people more money than what they should really charge.

I went to college to design circuits. We made them out of old bread boards from parts from RadioShack. It was fun I actually enjoyed lab days.

Then you know that once you hack a system and change things at root then there's a chance of bricking.

you should have no problem hacking the procal code so they don't lock to a VIN then. You can probably make a few bucks selling the secret to unlocking it. I personally do not have a problem with this type of equipment locking to a particular vehicle. I know it took a hacker a lot longe then a few days. look at diablo and superchips etc worked on it for a couple of years without success.

You make it sound cheap and easy to build a programmer. AEV is in the Jeep business, not charity cases. All programmers VIN lock.

The vin probably burns itself on to a CMOS chip when connected to the first Jeep it comes in contact with. Unless you change the chip there is probably not a way to erase the vin.

What if you have two JK's? Same specs running on 35's? AEV will make you buy it twice I think that's BS. even Microsoft gives you at least 2 computers to install their OS or MS office on per product key.

You may want to rethink that. MS changed licensing to one computer for life on install.

Here is a thought. Why don't just one of your friends in your town or city buy a Jeep and then you all take turns to drive it like the Sears tool you was talking about.
