They want kill switches in every vehicle by 2025. Now you know why.

They want to control where we go, especially off grid. Well, the Cabal doesn’t want us going off grid, hence the kill switch. But they’ll never fly. And they’ll always be able to be bypassed. A switch always operates 2 ways. It’s always easy to bypass the not working side.
The biggest deterrent on modifying the ECU is the warranty voiding. The average person isn't going to risk voiding the warranty on a brand new vehicle. The small percent of people tuning cars doesn't eat into the manufacturer or dealer profits so it's not really on their 'radar'.
No one will ever be able to stop tuners doing what they do. Modern vehicles are nothing more than a computer with wheels and an engine. Like any computer, it will be hacked / datamined / reverse engineered. Even if "kill switches" (that's still a big if) are even implemented there will almost certainly be defeats.
I forsee a "tech-punk" type future in which ECU hackers become the new anons of the arid meta-verse laid over top the universe.
makes u think bro.
I was just looking at buying an MVPI2+...
It's federally illegal to "tune" cars and the feds have been cracking down like crazy now that the resident is in office. Additionally, most manufacturers are adding security gateway modules to cars that restrict two way communication (read only access no writing) unless you have an approved tool. These approved tools have to pass compliance reviews which include not being able to upload software/firmware that isn't approved by the OEM.
Kill switches would likely be implemented through the OTA (over the air) system most cars have already. This was introduced with On-Star back in the 00s where the car could be remotely unlocked, started, and report in an accident "automatically." Now that all cars are coming with some form driver assistant system (most of which utilize windshield cameras) the feds could get live-time visual of what your car was seeing if they wanted to.
The bottom line, don't buy a new car until this shit is settled.
Your comment is on the nose. I know from trying to find a tuner to change some parameters on my 17 Wrangler that 2017 is the first year extra steps were involved to unlock the ECM.
I thought the verbiage was a "firewall" for the CAN communications link but i could be wrong.
On Chrysler models it's a physical chip/module in between the DLC and all the vehicle modules that interrupts the "write" capability. In theory, one simply has to put a jumper wire past the module for the wire(s) they want use.
Your car must be a late '17 because it shouldn't have the dedicated security module unless it's an '18.
just kill the cellular interface, easy peasy
it'll be the same way music subscription apps work, if it doesnt connect every so often it wont work
This already exists. All new cars have 5G built in and get firmware updates over cell towers.
Agree...& I think this is why they want an electric car fleet... easier to control.
Spot on. The power grid can be shut down with one switch. Incontrast, gas can be stored in large volumes for very long periods, providing significant autonomy vs anything reliant on the grid.
