    Please explain...remembering that the foodchain has a strong tendency to believe and enforce the premise that at best the owner of the hardware is granted a limited licence to use te initial software...and certainly should be prepared to pay a hefty price for any upgrade that the manufacturer may come up with.

    I don't know one person who has this expertise, and have found that very few are willing to share all their secrets that make software an easy fix.


    As I said, through right to repair legislation, you have access to the same stuff the dealers do.

    Every sensor electric component, switch, etc. is all wired into the same bus system... It's why you can use the wires going to the radio on your pickup to set the cruise. Once you have an electronics understanding, and an understanding of how the buss is constructed, and how the addresses are setup, it's nothing to completely take over a machine, or diagnose it.

    Look on youtube at the guys self-driving Fendt tractors with an Arduino board.


    As far as your emissions request... I'm pretty sure that's already been done...
