Can I hack into my ECU then ?

Seeing that posting about an EyeTeye diagnostic widget ... do they license anything from LR or is it just reverse engineering ? I was thinking about getting me AVO-8 out and figuring what sort of chat was going on.



Can you do that without burning in hell for eternity though ?


thanks


Wow an AVO I thought they came under the S.A.L.T. agreement * I had some bast'd shocks off one years ago.Dunno the bugger is digital and the interface as mooted previously ain't standard there are folk working on it come to that theres a dude selling the interface cable on fleabay?

Reverse-engineering is legal in most of the world, the only place I can think of off-hand where trying to figure out how something works will land you in jail is the Land of the Free, the U.S.A...

I've got one in pieces for a P38 but haven't started to play with it in any detail yet. I did an Air Suspension ECU but this one is far more messy, it just does far too many things. I can't swap it out in bits and do a progressive take over. I do have slightly more gear than an AVO-8 though...

That would involve LR having an agreement with God, who's books apparently decide these things. However, after looking at the insides of the EAS ECU I'm pretty convinced they have a contract with the other place so pulling it to pieces probably earns extra credit with the good guys.
