Multiecuscan Software

[mr16valve]

I have been searching and have not found any conclusive answers. I am interested in software that will allow changes within BCM.
(with my background in VW / Audi we have Ross-Tech VagCom - a program that will quite literally change any / every parameter on the vehicle).
I do not see any option for a program / interface that will allow such changes.
I see Multieucscan that is a basic diagnostic with a more advanced feature or 2 (like proxy alignment) - nothing like enabling hazards during hard braking, enabling fogs with high beams, tpms removal or other basic items.
I see WiTech as an option but I do not see a list of what can be accessed or altered.
These are a simple toggle on / off with in the CAN system, but where is the program?
Thanks.

I second that- it would be nice to get a hex and schema layout for the BCM. You are able to access a hex editor in the Proxy alignment screen with "ctrl alt C" I know its required to update for a dash upgrade to TFT- but haven't looked into it beyond that. Enabling hazards on decel is in the proxy alignment screen too.
I believe you need a registered version to access those screens though.

I have bought the 6 plug set of "modified" ELM cables & plan to buy the registered version or Multi, but would like to be sure that it does more than reset error codes or throttlebody alignments.

I got lucky and the knockoff ELM I bought on amazon worked out of the box- which is good because the PCB has no labeling to remove resistors.

In for updates

I know people have hacked the clusters using MultiECUScan, curious what other hacking can be done.

Personally the only thing I've done cool with AlfaOBD (a slightly less advanced alternative) is disable the damn seatbelt chime.

The damn seat belt chime is the first on my list!
The cable set should be here this week. I will buy the €50 software & begin the testing.

I'm hoping for small things - enable fogs without headlights, define the time for interior lights from FOB unlock, fogs with high beams & maybe get into the torque steer compensation and see what level that can be increased / decreased to.

I'm currently in communication with a vendor in Italy that has software that is more powerful than MSE, but it is an unknown if it will
Work in our "region" or even connect North American modules. This seems to be a good option if it works out.
I will keep you guys updated & keep a detailed list of my testing.

Cables are here & software is purchased.
Tonight we hack....

It doesn't seem as though anyone has been able to disable TPMS on the NA cars through MES- bummer, I guess I'll live with the light until I need new tires

I haven’t tried to fully disable mine, but I have significantly lowered the thresholds.
Before adjustment, my front was set at 42 & my rear was 38 lbs. This would explain why TPMS light would never go out when I filled (to the door pillar recommended 40 & 36).
My first setting was 32lbs F & R and the light went out right away. I can now run the pressures that I want (Less psi for more grip in certain circumstances).
I now have it set as 22F & 20R (for both cold & warm temp thresholds).
The light will only come on now if i have an actual problem.
I’m in tune with my car enough to sense or feel (or see) when the pressures are off.
I am going to connect MES this weekend and make some code changes (per the MES developer). I may try to fully disable the TPMS and see how that goes.
It’s a very good program and there are a handful of changes that are to be rolled out in MES4.5 (registered version).

Good to know, I think I’m on 4.2
I set TPMS to “not present” then dis proxy alignment, after that didn’t work, I set all the TPMS addresses to 0.. still nothing, haven’t tried if there’s a hex menu for any of those though
.. Keep posted on how it goes
