It started out as a surcharge if you imported a car from the US that didn't have daytime running lights to discourage you from buying outside Canada (better deals price wise in the US) . They knew you wouldn't pass DMV inspection if they weren't reprogrammed and it had to be done by dealer.... Mercedes,Volvo , BMW were hand in hand on this scam. I remember when I first started importing cars from the US , they use to charge me 50$ for a BMW.....
