Nope. It is a simple routine about 20 lines long that rewrote in c# in about 30 minutes. They extracted the secrete keys from the ids software however you can brute force them. I wrote a routine to brute force them juts to prove it could be done but you need about 10 seed keys as there are a lot of ...

Yep very keen to find it in the pcm code. I have the binary for my pcm but so I can probably just search for the magic number in the algo to find it. Will have a look later.

Whilst I want to figure it out why do I need to if that python routine works?

Appears "figuring" out the protocol will be much easier than expected. Still got a few hurdles to go before it will be complete. Found the seed key algorithm this afternoon and proved it will work with the bf falcon ecus I'm interested in. http://www.fordmods.com/post1445053.html#p1445053 ...

https://github.com/fenugrec/oj2534-fw/ Found this guy who has created probably the only open source J2534 tool. Uses an evaluation board. I might message him to see how complete the project is. edit: There is also OpenPort 2.0 which is affordable however I cannot find how compliant their J2534 imple...

Ford require 18v (though 12v seems to work) applied to pin 13 to flash the powerpc ecus. I'm looking at making a cheap device to do this. Currently my best bet is a China clone vci mini j2534 cable with a hard wired switch to a laptop power supply however I would love to have an all in one cable wit...

J2534 is preferable to me as if it supports J2534 then you can flash any vehicle using the factory software. Be interesting to see how much development would be needed to add support of programming read/write of voltages so a J2534 dll could be written. Might send them an email and see how hard it w...

How did you go with developing your own J2534 cable? It may be easier to develop a DLL that works with an existing product eg an AVT cable http://www.avt-hq.com/ The issue is almost no cable support reading/writing the voltage to the OBD pins, without this you can't truly support J2534 Another optio...
