Ability to write to ECU? #247

Closed Geremia closed 1 year ago

Geremia commented 1 year ago

AndrOBD allows resetting the ECU after a repair, but aren't there other ECU-writing functions AndrOBD could do (change/reset idle RPM, update VIN, etc.)?

cf. this SoftwareRecs.StackExchange question

No, OBD protocol does not allow any changes to the vehicle. The time of last clearing of faults is also registered and reported by the protocol. All changing and writing operations are done with OEM specific protocols.

@fr3ts0n Oh, so there's no standard, open protocol for writing. 🙏s.
