Hope this applies to cars as well. Bust a taillight in your Ford and get your own replacement, you still have to have a dealer configure the integrated BLISS sensor.

Section 1, 1, 3, g, C says “This section does not: Apply to: A vehicle…”

From the article

Some products — like devices powered by combustion engines … — are excluded from Oregon’s rules entirely.

Fuck that sensor. It’s a made up need so I’m more dependent on the manufacturer.
