mickq Member 740 Member For: 21y 10m Posted 06/02/04 11:09 AM Share Posted 06/02/04 11:09 AM Not sure at this stage but could be around the 1k mark $1k seems a little steep for what I imagine is an EEPROM flash which would take all of a minute to do...Any geeks out there with dissasemblers? Im sure if someone were to post the latest ECU firmware file then someone could check it out and change anything inside...inlcuding any anti-tamper measures in it.I doubt the Ford software security is even half as bad as a decent software product protection scheme.

I'm sure you could buy one yourself if you wanted to. Just reprogram your car each day to suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BA Ghia Guests Posted 10/02/04 11:05 AM Share Posted 10/02/04 11:05 AM So what is this device exactly ?????Is it a ODBII, CAN compliant lan device, like a WDS ?Can you read ODBII trouble codes and Status information ????If so, then $1000 would be an absolute BARGAIN ! considering a WDS unit costs $17,000 or so (Not including the software updates ???)Ill send you pics for a BA Ghia I6 ECM shortly !!!!!
