Got it. Have you ever used the pass through stuff on the Tech 2? I haven’t bothered to dig my old laptop out and get that stuff working.

I wonder if there is anything published by Cali on what they actually are going to compare when they perform the test?
I was reading a story on a sema website yesterday, apparently they will be able to determine the tune by the checksum value:
"BAR, which has had the authority to implement such inspections since 2013, has been gathering information from inspected vehicle ECUs since 2015. The gathered information includes CAL-ID (equivalent to a file name), CVN (equivalent to a checksum), EO status, and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This accumulated data is the basis upon which failure criteria will be determined. Disputed results will be referred to state-run Referee centers for further inspection."

I can't wait to see how California is gonna go about screwing people with this. I hope your idea works Wes. I'm all about beating big brother.

This past weekend, I started troubleshooting a liftgate that would not open/unlock. Watched a few videos on how to get it open and then completed the switch replacement in the handle. Total cost was $13 for OE part. Added black bowtie to the hatch as well. Picked up some new to me sill plates from an LTZ in a bone yard and swapped out the dash bezel around the radio. The SSV was missing a few trim bits as well that I snagged and upgrade the tweeters in the A-pillar. The past week has a busy time with the 'Hoe. I am picking up a set of side steps on Saturday and planning to Rhino Line them before installing next week. Whew, if this pesky job of mine wasn't so demanding, I could do more!
:driver: :D

Went to leave for work this morning, and got a right-rear tire pressure warning. So I have a slow leak. Then I realized it was the right-front tire, which means the tire shop that rotated them a few months ago didn't reprogram the TPMS system. That's the tire I had to plug because the landfill lackey backed me over a load of shingles (with nails) last year.

All these issues because other people don't do their job like they should...:banghead:

I have the TPMS programming tool. But the tires are about due for another rotation. So I won't bother. I guess I'll be playing with tires this coming weekend...sigh.

for me it will work, I don't have any engine mods like dod delete or anything just swapped the throttle body for a ls7 one and a cai, the BB tune is the issue because I doubt they have a carb certification. I think where it's going to be a issue the most is used car dealers who have no idea if a vehicle is tuned or internally modded or if buying from out of state and upon import to the state come to find a problem, for instance I have been looking for a G8 or a SS and there are some with a supercharger, etc both in & out of state and no telling of it will pass smog or not....when a cam or other things are added a tune is required and so it's anyone's guess.

Maybe it's time to register in another state with less stringent emissions.

that's risky as well, if you get pulled over and ticketed then you have to prove you live out of state for most of the year or they will make you change the registration to CA or risk loosing your drivers license.

Then actually move out of state. Best of both worlds. Don't come to SC, though. We're full.

Following. I have heard that it works this way for both NBS and NNB, being able to simply swap the ecm. Next time I'm at upull I'm going to pick up a spare ecm and try it on my NBS. Curious about the Theftlock learning; not sure it's in the ecm.
I am unsure as well, but most of what I have been reading in the last few days about Theft Deterrent stuff, it kind of looks like the BCM is where that stuff is controlled.
