Tranditional cylinder deactivation is a mechanics based solution that causes
a lot of headaches to do aftermarket retrofitting. But DCD is an electronics
based solution that competible to most of existing vehicles for aftermarket
retrofitting. Easy to turn on and to turn off, no mechanical mode involved.
