AlfaOBD and Tazer

[Shives]

I know... Tons of questions, use the search. I did...

Question, and thought.
If Tazer DT can make our trucks do some features, all by programming... So can Alfa! Just need to figure out the toggles. Yes, I also think maybe their part exploits broken code.
I’m wondering if someone close to me has a Tazer DT.. And we could make some setting changes.. Then do a Alfa read to see what’s changed!?

Tazer makes changes to the BCM just like alphaobd such as tire size and drl settings but it also sends live commands/triggers to perform some of its functions such as mirror foldng /unfolding and nav in motion to name a few. That's why some functions require the tazer to stay plugged in and some functions still work when it's unplugged(typically if it's a BCM change)

So, as I was saying... It’s an Exploit... That continues to get pushed when needed. That sucks..

To me... thinking logically... They are tossing commands at the BCM... And it takes it. Their for... Should we not be able to toss the same commands at the BCM to trigger each action.
For example.. Folding mirrors... Sick of hitting the button each day.. Lol as well window roll down.

So, they are not Re-writing the BCM... they are using the option within, and figure out how to activate it.
Again, just talking out loud and seeing what people think. I’m trying to go through Alfa and figure out a bunch of issues people are having, as well some sort of write up about options. More in depth if you will.
Activating some of the features we see.. Most of the time they don’t work because we don’t know all the triggers used.. Most folks don’t know that you have to enable features like (example) Door Lock’s not only in the BCM, but also in door modules, and such. In other words, enable this feature in more then one place.
