Tuners anyone??????????
Someone who is already tuning the eprom would be a good start. Its just a sequence of 256 bit combinations of what are probably the ASCII character set. Someone has already invented the wheel. Just need to do some knowledge disbursement.

Nobody is gonna be "tuning" this EEPROM - it is in the IPC and stores information such as the vehicle odometer reading and the DIC messages. You'd have to dis-assemble the IPC to get to it, remove it from the IPC and put it in a chip reader/burner. Then, the data may not be stored in the ASCII character set ... it could be that the messages are stored as a set of "numbers" that represent which elements in the DIC panel have to glow to make the letters appear correctly, or a Unicode or EBCDIC .... just depends on the chipset and what the O/S is that runs the IPC ... most likely a "process control" type O/S, rather than a O/S like Unix or whatever. May be easy, may not, but seems like a lot of work for creating a "custom" message, especially as if you screw up the EEPROM, your odometer is gone. That means buying a new IPC and getting the odometer re-programmed.
