Which begs the question as to whether we could have an international
response
to pool data on the Peugeot EMS, and thus produce a program running on our
PCs
that will read the EMS for us? There's no doubt that we've all got the
computer power
at our fingertips (We're chatting on Usenet, aren't we?!); we merely lack
some info
and an interface cable.
Impossible?
No - That is what the Omitec company of Devizes UK do.
They don't have confidential arrangements with most of the world's
car manufacturers, but tamper with cars at one of the second-hand
dealer****ps
in order to reverse engineer the diagnostic codes.
If one of the market leaders can do it, then we as an international forum
can
do it.
