    Define 'modern'.

    More specifically, which years and models.

    You've got to find new dealers. Can't say I've had anything like that from any of the dealerships I've used.

    It doesn't bother me in the least.

    The Mazda one is now spam blocked and we won't use them in the future. My Taco and the Subaru dealers have been great. That statement comes from someone who hated (HATED!) dealers since I was a kid. My Ural dealer was top notch also even though the bike itself sucked nutz.

    I don't know if we just got extremely lucky and I definitely ain't advocating for all dealers after seeing what a couple guys went through around here with their Tacos.

    Still, I do all my own work other than the Subaru. The one particular dealer went above and beyond, so we are letting them do the maintenance.

    200 series land cruisers are what I work with the most, which aren't all that modern anymore. I haven't actually removed the communication module from any other vehicles, but I have no doubt they are very similar.

    That is exactly right. The manual transmission does not have these features. All it shows is odometer mileage, fuel level and tire pressure.

    Thats the 4th Gen Pro special color, heard it from a salesman. Don't worry, it will trickle down to the other models.
