Yes I do. My indy doesn't even have a computer system capable of reading all of the various computers in either of my p-cars. I doubt any do at this point.

For example, I posted the other day that my drivers seat would no longer recline. I called two indys here in Denver and neither had the equipment to read the seat control computers. It cost me 1k in the end for the dealer to strip the seat and replace the base assy. and motors. No one else could do this.

You pay a premium to own these cars, and in my part of the world the dealer is honest, and reliable, and often less costly.
