I agree. And be ready for the insurance company to deny all claims related to the vehicle once they discover the "modification".
can't you just install a honeypot that simulates the stock firmware?
Sure. But you cant pretend that its some super secret that only non corpos know about and be surprised when the tech who makes the inspection knows what to look for
Yeah I forgot not everyone has terminal and code experience necessary to add customisations…
People do car modifications all the time, and the car is still covered under warranty.
Since the vehicles don't burn any gas and don't have any emission standards to comply with, the issue here is even less important.
