It’s anti-consumer as hell, but is it really enough to keep servicing only to dealerships? Seems like someone can machine a tool head for this in like two seconds, it’s just two prongs. What’s stopping a manufacturer from selling tools for it and individuals/mechanics from buying the tool? Can they patent the tool and not sell it to anyone?
Which happened over and over again in past attempts. Like “TR Torx” or “Tamper Resistent Torx”, the star bit with the hole in the middle. Yyoou can find matching bits in any decent bit set.
