Yes, newer models are not as easy to get around. Many of them have vin and calibration junk in them that causes problems, but in his case (b18c ej8) his car is not an issue. Nor is any honda from 2005 and older.

The dmv guys all have the same “canned” info they pass along to scare shops. I know about how it works with honda, nissan and toyota cars…but its a public forum, not the place to go into great detail.
