    Good job! DLT logs are pretty standard in the infotainment industry, the format specification is openly available. I recommend you to download DLTViewer from GitHub and open the lo…

    You are right. Last year I've got a virus named covid (probably you have heard of it). For a few days I've lost the taste of food. I mostly stopped to eat in such days. Eating food…

    This is not how odometers are scammed. The EEPROM gets rewritten to zero, then you can increment the odometer to your preferred value via OBD/UDS. Please note that you can only inc…

    Deleting the DTCs is really trivial. It's just a standard UDS command. The only way to avoid this kind of scam is buying vehicles that have done the official maintenance/inspection…

    I feel the same. The widgets/cashew stuff was totally insane.

    Additionally, the composition of certified products does not lead to a certified product. Even adding an enclosure around a certified board implies the recertification.

    Think of the Linux kernel. That's a huge project, organized in an object oriented fashion. Is there a difference between this->method(arg) and method(this, arg)?

    Your comment is pretty accurate. Just remove "probably" from point 2.

    OBD is a diagnostic bus. On modern car the access is authenticated on several layers (eg. guest, carmaker, ECU supplier). I would not call that interesting. Accessing a CAN/FlexRay…

    Working on a ECU that at some point during the development had to switch to Autosar, I cannot agree more on this.

    That's a nice politically correct statement. Now, would you mind to answer the OP?

    It's repair versus buy. If you cut the power cord of your dishwasher, you can buy a new dishwasher from Bosch for 900€, or ask a 3rd party to repair it for 25€. I don't see any "fu…

    Actually there still are a lot of Windows ECUs in the wild. I analyzed the update packets of newer cars than mine (equipped with Uconnect) finding even sndrec.exe and the default p…

    The infotainment of the car maker had some oddities: * the binaries were signed with a certificate emitted by a big certification company, repacking an update package could be chal…

    Kudos to the author! I did some research in my car a few years ago. Unfortunately, the update packages were properly signed. So I reversed the CAN traffic and replaced the infotain…

    Frequencies among radio/gps/cellular/bt are different, you need separate antennas.

    I work on the linux kernel using CLion and the IDE is still fast. I would not be interested in a non-Java IDE for the performance.

    Even cheap cars have a dedicated powertrain/brake/ABS CAN bus. Separate buses are then interconnected via a gateway.

    My 2011 car has ECUs for: engine, brakes, ABS, air bag, air conditioning, alarm. All of those are connected to a gateway, that is another ECU. Do you want parking sensors? That's a…
