Oh, as in someone with training?

Nope, those who choose to specialise in that area.

How did they learn?

By doing it, just like any decent mechanic does.

Came to them in a dream?

Nope.

You made my point. You no longer go to Smokey's CB shop up the road.

Wrong, that is precisely who do specialise in that stuff.

Yep, they learned in a dream on night.

Nope, by doing it.

Yes I have, and got an unlock code for one in one of the
used Mercs that a mate of mine buys off ebay, fixes and
sells for twice what he paid for them, by fixing their fault.


Yes, one person.

Plenty more than one person that even I know.

It isn't just a radio any more. Navigation, cameras, sat reception,
connected services, modems, and more.

Yep, and thats part of the reason its specialists that do most of the
work.

Exactly, people with some training.

Still wrong, they dont have formal training. they just specialise in it.

Where did they learn it?

By doing it.

Bull****. My mechanic mate hasnt had any.

OK, a sample of 1 Very scientific.

None of the others I know have either.

If the glass company does not have the instruments you do. Some now
have them, not all do. As the systems become more commonplace they are
investing in the equipment. Genesis dealers get about $125 for it.

But those operations dont go back to school to learn how to do it.

They use the documentation that comes with it.

WTF do you think that is? A form of training.

Bull**** it is, just like it isnt with any appliance
or the car you buy.

And it still makes no sense for the state to require 4 years
of formal training before you can work as a mechanic.

I never said 4 years. But a competent shop today has assorted training
for their certified mechanics.

And the best mechanics dont need that.

Try running a dealership without it

I know one that has done just that.

I guess you don't mind these guys working on your car.

In fact I do all the work on my car myself.

Another sample of 1

Plenty of others do that too.
