It is kind of mixed bag side channel hardware/software hack. The HW is done by HARMAN Automotive.
For sure it is possible to officially program it via OTA and OBD/FDRS but doing so yourself is way beyond what I was willing to invest, if it is possible at all.
There are crypto signatures in the data, I'm actually impressed by the level of professionalism present in the system.
I read through this entire post and came up empty, other than one guy earlier who I saw in his list of modules had an HVAC one he could access.
When I look at the spreadsheet, I see there is an HVAC module with a lot of different parameters that can be adjusted. But when I open FORScan on my car I only have these modules, no HVAC module. Is there something I am missing?
May I ask what type of OBD dongle you are using?
I can imagine that yours may be one of those that show issues with the different CAN network protocols.
Yes Iām using a Tactrix Openport 2 adapter as I had one for my Mercedes. I didnāt think it was a cable issue since it picked up some of the modules
Doing some googling now I see others have issues, Iāll pick up a new cable. Thanks for the memory jog!
