Tadge, the Vette’s chief engineer already said the car will be tuneable, but with the new electrical architecture, there needs to be additional safeguards in place to minimize the potential for unauthorized access. They just don’y want anyone accessing the control system of the car.

Its not a matter of cracking or hacking things anymore, never really was to begin with. But in the Cybersecurity world everything can be fooled, spoofed, or misdirected in some way. We have global issues with the world's best companies and minds unable to stop them every single day. If the right people were interested in getting the C8 tunable, it would take a week at most.

In any case, it will happen eventually, I wouldn't worry about it.

Here's all they need:

Jordy Laforge
one Tricorder
4 minutes

Data could do it in 3

Nah. Data doesn't have the intuition of Jordy. Put them together, though, and it'll be done in 2 minutes. Throw Wesley Crusher in there, and it'll be cracked in 45 seconds. LOL

What about nine...borg and such.


Sent from my POFS iPhone in a rage cause this is the third try.

Nah. The Borg have zero knack for nuance. Everything's black or white. No deviation. If you're talking about post-implant removal Seven, she wouldn't be much help at all. Her pre-Borg human self was just a housewife or something like that, not an engineer.

I remember they said the iphone was unhackable till a 15 year old did it in less than 2 weeks...

If it reaches out to update certs just fool the car to have it's own server and block the car from the internets. Have it "phone" home to a fake server that has all the corrected certs that can be tuned. Difficult but is done all the time.

it's a brain that has everything intertwined in it. someone will figure it out. guys are getting crazy on the hype like Y2K all over again. it's actually comical.

I think if it can be done on a GTR I'm sure someone will eventually crack it. So many computers in my car.

Small price to pay on a $120k Corvette.

You should see what Lambo and McLaren tunes go for.
Woah 13 credits for the engine and trans tune on top of the 1,999 to unlock the Pcm. I mean I get they have to get paid for cracking it. But I’m used to cheap tunes.

SO, I was right, or correctly informed. NOONE has "cracked" the Zr1 ECU. They install a known encryption module onto a different pcm, and give that one to you to put in, and then is tuneable. C8 has many more issues to deal with. 1st being the encryption of the pcm itself

Same as the ZR1

I don't care much about whether the C8 will be tunable in the future or not, but lol @ the people I've seen on forums that say, "Like 495hp isn't enough". That's something I expect to see from "Moms Against Modded Cars", not on a car enthusiast site.
