I had two choices: I could pay an additional fee to acquire operational information for a device I’d already paid for, or I could resign myself to returning the car to the dealer whenever the remote needed to be reprogrammed and just accept the hour and a half wait for something I could do myself in less than a minute. Some dealers even charged for this service. I was not happy. I.
