Purpose: While the engine is the heart of the car, the ECU has become the ever-evolving, all-knowing brain. However, this brain is a closed, locked-down black box. This is a place for people interested in taking back control of the car they own or keeping others out.
Includes scan tools, reprogramming and information on all Chrysler Dodge and Jeep. Fee will be charged by Chrysler when user requires a flash file download).
New age hot rodders, ECO modders, security researchers, the curious, the paranoid, and the tinkerer are all welcome. Discussion is not limited to the ECU, post any hacked DIY Aero, powertrain, suspension, or other car topics the community might like. Goals: The car hacking community is alive but fractured and decentralized, let's start by aggregating all of the many projects, and hackers. We would also like to encourage the use of Open source hardware and software. Our long term goal is to become the most technical car subreddit.
Mod note: Most of my time is taken up building hardware, if a better person for the community comes along I would be willing to hand over the sub. We could also use help with our documentation/Wiki. Flair Filters.
This is a project I started a while ago but kind of lost interest in. I started reverse-engineering the DRB-III scanner tool, or rather an emulator for it, which requires very expensive hardware to use.
This scanner is used by Chrysler(/Dodge/Jeep/etc) dealerships/technicians when working with Chrysler vehicles that don't use CAN bus, which covers most of their late-90s to mid-00s vehicles which primarily use J1850 VPW. The basic idea for my project was to put the features of this expensive scan tool into the hands of anybody that owns a relevant vehicle and a cheap standard USB/Bluetooth/WiFi OBD-II scanner. What I've mostly done so far is create a PC program, that can read the proprietary database file (a non-standard binary format) used by the DRB-III emulator program. This is far from complete and is not user-friendly (currently it's just a text/console interface with commands), but it's very promising. 'TX' (command) entries can be searched and have a variety of information, including (usually) the bytes to send on the bus for the command. There's no compiled exe release of the program or readme yet, I'll get that set up today or tomorrow.
In the meantime, the basic jist is this:. Build in Visual Studio 2015. Put 'database.mem' file in the same folder as the built exe. You can find this file in either the DRB-III Emulator program setup (free to download ) or in the Chrysler wiTECH or StarSCAN software. I won't bundle or directly link to this file to avoid any potential copyright problems.

Type in e.x. 'txsearch decklid' to search commands.
There are a few problems I currently face with this project:. Not everything is in the database file. Some things, such as the TCM Pinion Factor programming, are in program code. I've made some progress on that using IDA to decompile the emulator, but it's not easy. I'm testing this on my personal vehicle (2000 Dodge Intrepid). I cannot afford to brick an ECU, so I am only willing to go so far with testing. Some examples: I've figured out how to unlock ECUs for things like flashing, and I've found commands for VIN, SKIM, and RKE programing, but I can't fully test these because they could very well leave my car inoperable.
I haven't found a reliable Bluetooth OBD-II scanner, which is really annoying. Working without wires is much more convenient (and user-friendly), but every scanner I've tried suffers connection drop-outs after a while. An AT MA will only last a few minutes before the data starts to become garbage, but regular usage still has drop-outs every 5 to 10 minutes. I have tried with 5 different devices, both laptops and smartphones, which all suffer the same results, so the issue is definitely the scanners' end.
USB scanners works flawlessly. TL;DR: Chrysler can kiss my ass!
