So now that you've had your 981 for a while, how do you like it? My understanding is it can be so advanced it's almost impossible to DIY many "normal" jobs. For example, the battery is connected differently and simply replacing the battery results in a CEL that must be cleared at the dealer? Stuff like that that eliminates the shade tree mechanic. Interested in learning as my Wheeler Dealer activities start moving in the 981 direction.
