I couldn't agree more! Larry is using nothing more than scare tactics. You could run any type of encrypted tunnel to poll a server safer and faster then a modem. It would cost a dealership hundreds of dollars for a security update like installing a router with VPN capabilities. Instead they they want to make a drastic change giving dealerships and vendors only weeks to scramble for solutions costing them thousands!   Unbelievable! timing considering the auto world already took the biggest hit of the recession and Reynolds driving the stake farther. The whole RCI thing is a scam! R$ & R$ is raking it in now that people are getting their RCI. I don't know of a dealership in the US that would give out their data to a vendor they didn't trust and without a contract to protect it. It is time for dealerships to find a more permanent solution by saving money, time & headaches and finally make that DMS switch.
