Shut up , I am your owner !

>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.

i dont even know what that is

wtf why did jannies delete this post??

This one is good because it means the retards that hit me can't weasel their way out of paying up

This 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

>>28619120
I didn't even know that was a thing. All my cars are 20 years old. Nucars are so chucked lmao.

>>28619129
It’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.

Does 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

>>28619052
This 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.

Feels good to be able to change anything. Gobbless bmw

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

>>28619196
Yes, looks like the one I bought. Techstream seems to work with it but I haven't tried adding new keys though.

>>28619196
Ive got something similar for my fiat but also uses 2 obd2 adaptors. The first set of chinese cables died after 1 use.

>guess what??
>eveytime you rev to 3k RPM I'm going to cut ignition for 10 seconds

No see dem compupers are liderallyee impossible to work onne!!!!

Oh, don't mind me.

>>28619196
I 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.

My neighbor was rear-ended at a red light and got her claim denied due to her "not making an effort to avoid the accident" after insurance went through the logs.

>it has a different VIN saved in it, so i'll refuse to talk to it even though it's identical in every way
this 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

>immobilizer
God, I wish I could completely disable the immo on my shitbox. But the crap is loaded into at least 3 different ECUs and all of them have to match, every ignition

>>28622837
They're a cash cow, allowing them to sell you a $15 keyfob for $900. Manufacturers should be required to fully disable immobilizers as a 5 minute drive-through service at the request of the vehicle's owner.

>>28622201
that's why i don't buy anything newer than the year 2000

I should've bought BMM instead of MS3.
oh well. Also should've bought a different wideband than the one I did...

Bitch please. I have you fully indexed and you do as I say.

>>28619154
If your car has an associated app with it on your phone, it can influence your ads, yeah. All new cars with telemetry tracking monitor where you drive, but most just report that back to the parent company.

>>28623497
woah, how do i connect this shit to my 2015 vw???

>>28619056
Lmao 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.

>dumps diesel into injectors from idle

>>28619196
Look 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.

>>28627045
go get the ecu remapped

>>28627045
I 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.

>>28619343
what 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.

Don't give them ideas.

>>28619052
>>28626567
on 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.

>>28630712
Doesn'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.

Every time you drive past a Flock Safety camera it logs your car into a database and that information can be sold to god knows who for god knows what purpose. They're everywhere.

Locksmiths can do this for like $200.

>>28631317
depends 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.
