Just add another $3 - $5K to the base price of the car. People complain about the price of cars and in the next breath they complain about the lack of wiz-bang electronics and in the less expensive cars.

Strictly necessary no, wise yes. But if you are going to the trouble to disable them in the first place, why would you want to leave an explosive device just hanging out in your engine compartment with electrical connectors exposed to the elements?

When I put it into manual mode it never switches back. I have had several 2 plus hour drive on everything from surface roads t interstate and it never switches. Are you switching it to manual mode via the center console gear shift or are you using the paddle shifter? If you are using the...
