    That sounds dangerously close to an open standard that would prevent charging $500 for key fobs.

      Any open standard can be tweaked slightly to make it a closed propriety one!

      Though I do wish open standards were enforced for cars. Instead of each car/platform essentially being a mini monopoly that third parties need to design for specifically if they want to compete.
