Nope. ECUs have something called a "fault memory" where the last n detected errors are stored, and that can be recovered. This is actually what workshops use for diagnosing a car. This can give lots of information about what happe

Yeah, firmware is another issue. You read and flash firmware or parameters often directly over that CAN bus. There is nothing to validate that, for one manufacturer, I needed passwords (casually handed out to every supplier, the same for ev

Literally: I have successfully sent CAN messages that were understandable to ECUs with an Arduino while waiting for a delivery of real hardware. There are Arduino-GSM shields that are super easy to use and would be remote-accessible. Such a

Yip. And if you can query any ECU, and know what you are doing/have more information on the system, you can get higher level security access (and that information, is again, not THAT hard to find). This allows you to call functions th

Lights for instrumentation (inside the car). At least on the systems I worked with. I'm not much of an expert on that bus. Well, messing with this bus (audio volume.. blinking displays etc) could be disruptive as well, but not as criti

Not surprised. I built automotive test benches for some time. The moment you have something that can remote-access the CAN-bus, you have a problem. There are typically only a few busses in a car. In many cases, there is a LIN bus for entert

As a young adult, I studied in a country (had a flatshare there) and took the train (2hrs) at the weekend and during the holidays to stay with my parents. I guess lots of people close to borders know family situations like that (parents, p

You are correct, I was sloppy writing that and apologize. Growing up, I learned that Czechoslovakia was part of the "Eastern Bloc" and we were never taught much about the individual countries and their peoples. Moving there taught

User / Domain profiles that set the language of wherever you login. The "original" installation remains in Czech. Yes, it would be preferable to have the installations in English initially. But we weren't always internat

Defaulting to OS language can be terrible for organizations where the working language is different than a local language. Lots of programs do it and they always default to the language the OS was installed in, not the one that is currently

If you are a very experienced programmer, you program LabVIEW (one of the major visual languages) almost exclusively with the keyboard (QuickDrop). Let me show you an example (gif) I press "Ctrl + space" to open QuickDrop, type &q

Happy to see another LV user here. Organization gets much, much easier once you get the big architecture concepts - produce/consumer patterns, messenger-queues, event structures, actor framework. Yes, it can be painful, but the newer f
