    When you go to a shop chances are their scan tool is connected to the internet and has the ability to download data.

      Which means you should be able to, too - right? Might take a 1337 h4x0r to figure it out first, but then - pirate cars. Yarr.

        Lol. Yeah. Maybe. But maybe you end up bricking your ECM or TCM and then your car won’t start.

        And if you can do it, so can the guy who wants to rip out your headlight and jack in to steal it.

          Hasn’t that always been the case?

            To some extent probably. But we have AI LLM’S now and more technology in our pockets than ever before. There’s a reason there was so much hubabaloo over the flipper zero a few years ago.
