Huge difference in a tuning program hacking a security code and today's C7's controllers learning from past hacking GM made sure it will be much harder to hack and far easier to tell if the controllers were hacked on
In the end I'd suggest to C7 buyers not to be the tuning testpigs as we saw with the C6s a huge amount of engines blown to hell by claims of "secret" tuning methods.
GM is not dumb and has learned a lot and has some surprises as what OnStar will be doing in the background to see if C7s were hacked.

Except it would be
illegal for onstar to report anything after a subscription is over, wouldn't it? Trust me, GM is not dumb enough to
ILLEGALLY collect information on what it's customer's do with their cars.

it's BEEN tried for years now across the pond. what a lot of people tend to forget is how complicated reverse engineering electronic components is; especially when they're a set of brains tied together that dictate the actions of a small metal box that explodes hundreds of times a minute.
sure, it's doable. but not cost effective...
that's the main issue; while everything in this world is hackable, does it make sense to spend X when you only get back X/100?

So what vehicle uses this PCM then? It's an entirely new family, but then people on here say it's not. Which one is it? From what I have heard it's a Delphi ECM, which would make sense. Bosch first (LNF/LLT), Siemens second (LFX/LHU), Delphi final(LT1).

Will it be instantly tunable? Probably not, but it will be and I am just glad that we have been working on DI calibrations for many years, so we understand the proper way to calibrate them rather than waiving the flag of surrender before it's even on the market.
