Likewise, odd.

I can't answer that question. It's a good question, but I just don't know. My guess would be that there hasn't been enough time/money spent on trying to crack it, combined with the fact that the GT500 was only sold in the North American market. So it likely wasn't/isn't worth the time and effort...

?? This is the only thread I've made on this topic. I think Veteran was the one with two threads going.

I wasn't trying to burn you, but ok. Forget the aloe dude - get a hat. That Texas heat has clearly been putting the screws to the ole' noggin.

I think that's for you dude, but ok.

Yes, I remember very well why we're still here dancing. Your statement "bullshit laws get ignored or loopholed" doesn't in any way mean that laws generally don't prevent people from taking certain actions. And my concession doesn't imply that only people stop people. No way. The idea of going to...

Nah man, S650's ECU will remain locked forever and ever since we all know Ford's software is impenetrable - even for those pesky Russians. BMW, Audi, and Mercedes' ECU encryption is child's play compared to that of Ford. S550 is the last great Mustang, the last real Mustang, the last tunable...

I laugh so hard when S550 guys say shit like this.

I will Tony, I will. I'm going to tell people I like the Camaro so much, I got two of them - even the one Ford made.

It's not "self refuting". It's conceding that words on a page aren't going jump off that page and arrest someone for unlawful conduct. Not sure why you think I was referring to literal words preventing people from taking X actions, but here we are. I read what you wrote very carefully - "a law...

While I think the ECU will be unlocked at some point, I do agree this legislation is prob in the pipeline which will in turn force Ford's hand in future models.

Dude, I think you're trying to play attorney when you're clearly not an attorney. Regs and laws do prevent all kinds of stuff from happening on a daily basis because, as you allude, such laws act as disincentives to all kinds of behavior - being it modding cars or building any kind of structure...

Hang on, I think we got our lines crossed. @K4fxd 's initial comment was aimed strictly at cracking the S650 ecu - which I agree is likely to happen sooner rather than later. He only referenced the right to repair statute to emphasize that he (or she, don't know) can do whatever he/she wants...

Yea, no, that's not a categorical fallacy. There are still restrictions on virtually every kind of property we "own". So again, no, you can't just do anything you want with your property without running into the law. If we're talking strictly cracking ECUs, then yes, I agree that will happen...

I agree in theory, but that's not how it works in the real world. If for example, you were to remove your impact bars behind the bumper cover and drive around with no bumpers or impact bars, you would get a ticket. Same thing if you remove your headlights, or smoked your headlights to the point...

I'm glad he addressed the Camaro memes. Just goes to show you what a pack of dumb hyenas the internet has become (or maybe always was?).

Yea, no. It's not like they're transferring any of this data to my insurance carrier or the state attorney general. Telemetrics is more to sort out bugs than anything else. I'd be more concerned about that square device you carry around everywhere with you - you know, the one that likely has...

Those all have locked ECUs OP. And funny enough, they have all been unlocked in the last year as well.

Hilarious coming from someone with an '18 refresh lmao. But I guess to each their own.
