They do say the P38 is almost un-drivable.....
It can be disabled to a large extent with diagnostics.I bet there is a market for some sort of chip set that could bypass the alarm and immobiliser for good in the BECM.
I'd pay handsomely not to have to worry about EKA numbers, and engine sync, and RF interference, and all the other 'security' features they have.
On the diesel, if you buy a new EDC it can be set to non secure mode eliminating the need for the handshake with the BECM.It's the engine immobiliser sync thing too, and you can't disable that can you?
A box that "tricked" the engine ecu and BECM that all security measures were fine, would be handy I think. I'm crap at computers though, and worse at 1990's Z800 programming or whatever I'd need.
If it was too much for Storey Wilson, I don't stand a chance.

As I tried to say but with a different wording, yours is clearerThey come none robust. You can set them robust, but they cannot be changed back afterwards.![]()
