Can hardly see this being enforced ... it is impractical - just another idea that the tofs at the top devised over a round of fox hunting.



It cannot not be enforced full stop on current ecus, the only way they can do it is implant a brand new EOBD2 protocol on cars 2011> which the MOT tested can ID part of the ecus data which will be the software version and final checksumm, the tested will have a database to cross ref with and if the checksumm dont match then its a sign that there car is not running EU approved software code = epic fail x.  but if they can crack RSA keys I am sure there are hackers that could produce a patch to get around this.

The yanks use the current rediness which can be seen on vagcom, if one of the rediness setting fail then  the wont pass the car, but a good tuner can patch the ecu to change the rediness setting to get a pass.

I have just read through this as I am considering a remap after Christmas, but I too see that this will be nigh on impossible to enforce. If it is how are small garages going to afford the equipment, more business disappearing, tuners are either going to make a killing or again disappear. It seems to me as always the honest of us will be penalised and financially hammered while the others that don't give a f**k will drive there un mot'd sheds around anyway regardless of what new regulations there are and as the government won't spend money on police who's ever going to catch them, but will waste it on pointless checks on the mot. It needs to be focused more on brakes, suspension, tyres and structural interegity as these are what affects everyone's safety. All the power in the world aint woth s**t if you cant stop or stay on the road.
Thankyou rant over.

be interesting to see how many ecu mapping failures have occured to warrant such a thing! as slick says bluefin and revo will be selling alot of selector+ switches to change between maps but i didnt realise that mapping stopped you accessing the ecu :undecided:
