>uh, no, excuse me, you can't just rev the engine you own on the car you bought past 3,000 rpm, chud
>uh, you want to add a second key to your car? uh, sorry chud, you're going to have to pay the dealership $1,000 for it because I'm not giving you the immobilizer lock codes to your own car that you own and paid for
>oh look at that, your LTMAQLBGTQ sensor that adjusts the brightness of the license plate light during full moon events is on the fritz, i'm just going to disable your completely unrelated cruise control and light up your dashboard like a christmas tree until you pay $1,000 to have it replaced
>>28619011Shut up , I am your owner !
>>28619048>yes your car that you own is equipped with all the hardware for that option to work, but the RPO code wasn't programmed in because you didn't pay the $800 for that feature, so you can't use it.
>oh you bought a used ABS computer from a junkyard because the dealership wanted $2500 for it? oh look at that, it has a different VIN saved in it, so i'll refuse to talk to it even though it's identical in every way. oh sorry the dealership won't program used parts, liability you know
>look at that, there's a malfunction somewhere. Yes, I know exactly what the malfunction is, and yes I could easily display it on one of the 5 different screens in your car, but i'll just give you a generic error message, you're gonna need a $4,000 scantool to read it, sorry chud
i dont even know what that is

wtf why did jannies delete this post??
>not buying your own j2534 interface then downloading cracked dealer software to do it yourselfngmi
>hey chud, i'm also using the sensors you own on the car you pay for to keep an event log so it can be used in court against you if you get in an accident. no, chud, you can't just opt out or switch it off lol
>>28619091This one is good because it means the retards that hit me can't weasel their way out of paying up
>>28619011This infuriates me to no end. I cannot stand soft limiters in park/neutral. I don’t do it all the time, but when I want to listen to my supercharged v8, nothing ruins it more than the goddamn 4k soft limiter. What’s worse is all the brain dead fudds on the forums all act like wanting to free rev every now and then is an extremely foreign concept and you need to get your head checked for wanting to do such a wasteful thing. THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO OBSESS OVER MODIFICATIONS AND GOING FAST TO AN AUTISTIC LEVEL BUT GOD FORBID YOU WISH TO HEAR YOUR ENGINE WHILE STATIONARY
>>28619120I didn't even know that was a thing. All my cars are 20 years old. Nucars are so chucked lmao.
>>28619129It’s nothing a tune can’t fix, but it’s ridiculous that it has to be done. It’s even worse for cars like Audis and Porsche. Some models won’t rev past like 2k in park. Pretty sure Mustangs and Camaros don’t have soft limiters, the Mopars have since the Challenger/Charger were re-introduced which sucks.

>>28619082Does it really log what stores you drive past and give you targeted ads based on your travel path? That would explain a few thing ive noticed actually
>>28619052This is the one that really pisses me the fuck off, the other ones are stupid but at least have reasons, perhaps the ABS module needs to be programmed or something, perhaps it would be a bad thing to display every little error on the screen because Stacy would have no idea what it means and would complain about it on twitter, but if a vehicle comes with every component of a certain feature by default due to the manufacturing process then just fucking have it be a default part of the vehicle! Damn!Imagine if phone manufacturers tried doing this, if you could buy a phone that came with double cameras and if you didn't pay for the second one it was just disabled somehow even though it was still there on the phone, that would be ridiculous.Imagine buying a refrigerator with a fully functional ice maker that is somehow disabled because you didn't want to pay the ice maker fee. It's so dumb.

anyone have luck with these for toyotas?I need to program a new key blank but the low price kinda puts me off thinking its some chink scam
>>28619196Yes, looks like the one I bought. Techstream seems to work with it but I haven't tried adding new keys though.
>>28619196Ive got something similar for my fiat but also uses 2 obd2 adaptors. The first set of chinese cables died after 1 use.

Oh, don't mind me.
>>28619196I have one and it works great for everything i've tried. I'd highly recommend buying a $50 2010 laptop from ebay to use as a dedicate laptop for it. The chink software you have to install gets flagged by every antivirus software and seems really really sketchy. I wouldn't want it on a machine I use for important stuff. You can install techstream on your $50 laptop then shut off its wifi so any viruses will be contained.

>>28619054>it has a different VIN saved in it, so i'll refuse to talk to it even though it's identical in every waythis shit is peak jewry and what makes things worse is if it's up in the air whether or not you actually need to fucking VIN program certain computers. the front control module for my 300 is acting up but there's no straight answer whether or not a replacement needs to be programmed or not. The programmed ones are of course 4x the price of a junkyard one. I mean, at least the software to allegedly do it (alfaOBD) is $60
>is that bad o2 sensor wiring I see?>yikes, enjoy your limp mode chud!>no, I will not tell you why youre in limp mode exactly. instead, you will try to guess which of the 30 error codes I give you have anything to do with the actual malfunction.>no, I dont give two fucks that youre in the middle of the highway! you WILL stay in third gear to avoid damage or something

>>28619056Lmao this one is legitimately frustrating. Shit tablet cars now should honestly have their service manual on their screen so you can repair the car using the head unit as your guide. Makes perfect sense unless you're a dealer fsggot.

>>28619052>>28619054>>28619020desu these are the only ones that annoy me. computers and electronics in cars are a net positive even in consideration of these.
>drive picrel at work>diesel + manual transmission because Europe>occasionally rev match for the lulz>get newer model>can't rev match as the ECU doesn't allow revving when in neutral
>you want sixteen hundred R P M?AYE AYE CAPTAIN>dumps diesel into injectors from idle
>>28619196Look through owners forums for people talking about this stuff. Volvo diagnostic software, for example, won't work if your J2534 interface has too much latency so the cheap Chinese ones can be really hit or miss.
>>28627045go get the ecu remapped
>>28627045I wonder if that was the problem with the new elf I drove for a day. Jap trucks have their gears far apart so a blip helps the syncros.
>>28619343what drives me mad is how people can't understand that adding components to a system inherently increases latency. >car manufacturers: "do you want to add 100ms of latency to your braking, potentially killing your entire family in an emergency?" (btw, this will also let the NSA murder your entire family whenever you say something bad about Big Brother)>every normie: "Is it digital?! Oh cool!!!"
>>28619765>oh your idle is a little funny while running the A/C?this just started happening to my car. Figure it's a boost leak.
>>28619162Don't give them ideas.
>>28619052>>28626567on the other hand, it's nice when they de-tune the 300hp engine to 200hp and you can just re-tune it back and save $10k on a trim level.
>>28630712Doesn't work that way. Most of the times you have to source a number of engine components as well, because they put the shittier ones in the "detuned" engine.

>>28631317depends on the car. i have a VW, have called a half dozen locksmiths trying to get a key made, all have told me to take it to the dealer.
>>28623497MS is cool, but it's not 1999 anymore and RUSEFI absolutely smokes it.>>28624071motor is motor. give this thing all the sensors and actuators, and as long as you know what they all do, you can tune it to run. also nothing canbus (the rest of the car) will ever work again. you need your specific model to be supported on something fancy like haltech or motec for things to maybe work.>>28627070as awesome as distributor pumps are, any "remap" will either be A) a grand to get the pump rebuilt and recalibrated or B) minor increase in power

>>28632571>pays off the engineer who wrote the ecu encryptionor some nerd that doesnt even own the car hacks it for fun
>>28633241It's a very arduous process to reverse engineer an ecu and then CANBUS in itself is another clusterfuck of a layer on top. There's a reason not many factory ECUs are cracked and it's not because there's no market for it.
>>28622875If it was that easy to do they’d be easy to steal which would defeat the whole point.
>>28633265all you need is an arduino to sniff the communication. it is difficult. also just because you think it hasnt been cracked doent mean some guy isnt hoarding all of that info. trust me when i say people do this for fun and no other reason.
>>28633896crackheads steal cars with the keys left inside, no crackhead is going to use james bond tools to make an impression of the lock cylinder, carefully cut a key to fit, then connect a scantool to add the key to the car so they can drive off in a 15 year old shitbox.

>>28619765god i love the squirt
>>28634223You're talking about canbus only, and it's 64 channels of gibberish. You also need to decompile the actual rom, map the memory, get ranges and defaults, crack credentials. It's not just something timmy gon do.

>>28635325>>28635407it would be annoying but understandable if it were something like a ground wire coming off a clockspring that broke the circuit so it physically couldn't function. what we're talking about here is software "engineers" deliberately adding code to disable parts of your car on purpose. somewhere they added a>if (unrelatedModule->hasFaults()) CruiseControl->disable()which is completely inexcusable

Sure, I'll let you do that.... by flipping six pages into a menu every single time you start the car. No, there's no way to turn this off permanently on the car that you own and paid for that doesn't cause your dashboard to light up like a christmas tree and cruise control to be disabled.

>>28619011>Laughs in Mechanical Fuel delivered Mercedes Benz
>>28638310Yeah. Now everything has its own module and ECU, using buttons to send an on/off command rather than using a real electrical switch
>>28638410>using a real electrical switchmeans a shitload of wiring between switch panels and relay panels
>>28638417Maybe just get rid of all the useless shit that just adds weight and complexity while not improving the driving experience whatsoever?
>>28638721>all the useless shit that just adds weight and complexity while not improving the driving experienceLike what? A simple exterior lighting switch panel would need a lot of wiring.
>>28640869why do you need an "exterior lighting switch panel"? you need exactly 1 headlight switch and 1 dimmer switch.there is already a crapload of wiring for useless shit everywhere, just get rid of all that and you can have all the connections you need with far less wiring.
>>28642280>you need exactly 1 headlight switch You sure? These are for some really old cars with really dim headlights:>off>auto (you can discard it but it's a 1970s or so tech that's kind of useful especially if your average driver is a retard)>parking lights (G*rms make those directional with separate buttons or working together with the turn signal stalk, idk about requirements everywhere else)>main beams>front fogs>rear fogsWith time headlights became brighter, and that required adding level correction (sometimes manual, usually in the same panel, sometimes automatic for even brighter stuff like 2000+ lumens or HIDs because your average driver is a retard), so add another multi-position switch or a pot. I know that North American headlight-related standards were (and probably still are) lagging behind the civilized world, but ask yourself why all the posts about being blinded at night and mentioning THE TAPE are made by American posters, and at the same time older American cars are synonymous with really dim low beams anywhere else in the world.>and 1 dimmer switch.And wiring to every panel with backlight like the gauge cluster or the radio with low enough resistance or somehow compensate for the voltage drop. LEDs are actually worse because those should be current-regulated, since you don't want high-frequency PWM over long distances, and low-frequency one will fuck your eyes up, so idk how are you going to achieve that with simple electronics, how simple are you willing to go. You also need a good source of voltage since it fluctuates in pretty wide range, and you don't want to watch that anywhere except the voltmeter.Normally all the backlighting is done internally within every module and the control unit just sends the message with new setting to them over the bus, but you obviously know better.I mean come on, even a 20 year old car has all the things you call useless shit and OEM repair manual is there to explain why exactly they are needed.
>>28619120That would make sense if it just soft blocked you until your engine was warmed up to operating temperature then let you meme rev all you want. I have a 1980s motorbike with no protections or rev limiter. While its nice be able to instantly obliterate my entire engine whenever I remember I have free will I'd probably prefer some nannying.
