well as the saying goes "nothings better than the original" so if the truck gets reintroduced in the later years, is it going to be better than the original? or will it just have a more complicated computer?

Both... It will be better and will surely have a more advanced PCM. Especially since the auto companies are going to have real counters that will tell them when someone has been in the PCM and a change has been made. They can tell now but have to look for the changes in the very very very near future anything you do will be monitored and counted.. SO, the guy that has a tuner and takes it back to the dealer after he pulls the tune out the dealership will add that the vehicle has been changed...

My wife has a Maxima with the push button start and entry and everytime I drive I think that a RFID dermal implant would be cool to avoid having to carry the remote. They do dermal implants for a variety of cosmetic stuff and RFID implants for ID chips and some companies are doing them for secure access.

Would you do dermal implant to never have to look for your keys again?

Word of warning.... if you google dermal implant some of the image results will be a ***** with um.. modifications.

The Lexus LS has a push button and I love this feature! .doors unlock keyless, ect.... Our keys would have to be chipped though I'm sure to "pair" to start right? I don't see this being a mod

well i havent lost keys in a long time, but when i do, i go out and kick my tire. my paging system alarm has a 1 mile range, so i set off the alarm and listen for my remote beeping.

That "very near future" has already arrived. The new BMW's have a feature where all port/programming access attempts are counted/recorded and that record is downloaded each time you take the car in for service. That count can then be compared to a factory managed database for your car. If they differ, good luck with certain warranty claims.

The recording/logging feature in the car discriminates between diagnostic efforts and actual programming efforts.
