From what he has said by knowledgeable use of the push buttons, they can disable or adjust a lot of the stuff on a vechicle. Example inside lights and DRLs. seat belt buzzers, all those stupid chimes and other things. Some items are restricted and for special reasons he can modify the computer program. He has said it has to be approved by the car company after some serious paper work and he is sent a one time code to do that work. Its about 18 characters with some buttons pushed twice. From what he has said its extremely secure so rest assured our goverment will have it well hidden. As for me I used to love getting a new car or truck. Now I dread getting something new as its quite a steep learning curve to operate it efficiently. I hope my present rides outlast me. Again its not the cost its the bullshit/nanny stuff that gets more intense each model year. My wife has a 20 Explorer and she is thinking of getting a new one by the end of the year, she also does not like all the big brother/nanny stuff that is here now with a lot more to come! |

I'd bet China could stop every newer car on the road with a few key strokes.

I understand that but the way he explained it its almost impossible to beat the systen they now have. I have had chipped rides before but its going to take a lot to make your own permission. Just passing on what I heard.-

Not worried. I highly doubt that diesel power will go away in my lifetime.

Maybe not on the dash in OEM style. But there are TPMS systems that go on the valve stem outside and have a nice wireless connection to a screen that can be mounted on the dash or windshield. I had one for our travel trailer. It also had temperature sensors and the unit was programmable.

Thanks. I have seen those but have been hesitant since that could potentially cause air leaks. It sucks that the 11-16 trucks have tpms and will give a low tire light but will not display the PSI

https://www.amazon.com/SCHRADER-SCHR.../dp/B07X575DWQ I see a lot of recommendations for Tire Minder, but i don't like the idea of external sensors: https://www.tireminder.com Most OE TPMS systems are by Lear, VDO or Schrader. I thought VDO made a retrofit kit, but I can't find it. |
