Default BCM read/write

What do you guys think about being able to read/write to the BCM? The owner of HPtuners, Ken, on the VCM suite features request forum forum has shown a bit of interest to the idea. However, he is going to need to know that people would buy it. I know as a C5 owner that I deeply crave the ability to edit the BCM settings so I don't have to rely on the dealer to disable my CL, or bleed the ABS system amoung many others. Hope to see some input over there!!

I thing this is an excellent idea...it should enable people to remove the cut fuel at 2mph feature that is getting programmed into the BCM as part of the Collumn Lock recall.

What parameters we'd be able to change if we have access to the BCM?

As previously mentioned, the column lock 2mph fuel shutoff BS, BCM error codes edit and clear, ABS bleed, tire pressure monitor, that is all i can think of off the top of my head, but anything the BCM controls would be fair game.

I would be interested as well.

Pricing would be the critical thing.

If you could, for example cure the CLB issue, it would be worth $50, but for the most part it would be a hard sell.

Anything that lets me crack into the modules to troubleshoot failure codes is a good thing!
