$2000 to do your own brakes! F YOU Hyundai!!!

Ford's have had the electric parking brake on f150s since about 2018. I never thought I would see the day I would need a scanner for a basic brake job. I ha ve thousands into my snap on scanner and that's the entry level solus. I can't afford the higher models, I can barely afford this one. I just had to pay $600 for a damn update, usually that's $1200, but the snap off guy has a "sale" like once a year. He plugs the scanner in for less than 10 minutes and poof $600 gone.
Every handful of years they come out ean updated model, my original solus was not updateable past 2014, had to trade in and pay out the azz for the newer version. Besides what I originally paid for the red brick I originally had.
The shop has an autel and getting them to update takes more than an act of Congress to accomplish, (and I work for state govt)
We have mostly Ford's though they claim to have bought some of those ioniq cars which shouldn't be allowed since Hyundai isn't even an American company
We have some Chevy, and extremely few dodges and I can't even pull codes on any Dodge newer than 2017 without paying MORE for some "security gateway" clearance.... Talk about W T F... We can't touch them with the autel either. The only Dodge truck we have come thru is a 2020 and we had to farm it out just to pull codes for the check engine light.
I wonder how far reaching the John Deere right to repair lawsuits will carry into cars and trucks
I want OUT but am too old to jump jobs and change professions but can't retire for 9 more years. Fixing these things definitely isn't fun like it used to be
