That's how you get access to find out what you need to write and where and how you need to write it to "activate" disabled or hidden features in existing firmware.

That's hacking in all the correct definitions of the term fyi.

All the hardware malarky aside, the perfect plan would require updating the GM database containing your VIN with the feature enhancement so that the next software update (recall or whatever) doesn't overwrite it.

Definitely interested and can't wait!

Will this work with the 1LE PDR camera

If we want access to front and rear camera along with motion app
-Can they be compiled into one upgrade?

Those few who wish to invest time, can do it for a profit - OR - taking the step to grow a community based effort.

Now... The supplier of the Dashboard / telematics system is Visteon Corporation. A global supplier of cockpit technologies. In a matter of days, at CES, Visteon is announcing a developer program for their technology platforms. Probably not that different from the "apps" that are provided in the '17 camaro HMI update. Considering their platform approach, insights gained from owners of other vehicles integrated with Visteon technology may be applicable to any customization efforts.



Is this the next Camaro update or a HACKED rendition?

The Gen 6 Camaro leverages, CanBus, GMLan, HMI and others to control the lighting, hvac, seats. The dash and mylink system's communicate over the in-car networks. Based on Visteon's docs, it's highly plausible that the dash cluster and the mylink system share a common controller that is capable of OTA updates.

Now... While enabling existing code for a front camera is "COOL", personally, I think the everybody is ready for much more. IMO the Camaro, and Car's in general , lack a layer of contextual personalization based on location, historical activity, external and internal environment, etc. With A/I control of the HVAC, heated seats, steering wheel heater, music, lighting, etc. The combinations are endless. Is GM willing to open up their platform for innovation?? Let's hope so. Otherwise.....

If i got this cluster there is no way I can buy the other style and just plug it in and unlock the boost gauge?

This is from the 2017 GM book, Think before you do, wait until the warranty is over!

General Motors does
not warranty non-GM parts,
calibrations, and/or software
modifications. The use of parts,
control module calibrations,
software modifications, and/or any
other alterations not issued through
General Motors will void the
warranty coverage for those
components that are damaged or
otherwise affected by the installation
of the non-GM part, control module
calibration, software modification,
and/or other alteration.

The dash harness is plug-and-play. Upgrading to the 2SS cluster should be a relatively swap out. ATS/CTS owners have been swapping dash clusters for years. After the install, they need minimal setup to link the vin and establish mileage.

Personally, I'm seriously considering the high-resolution CTS-V cluster.

Cool I just really would like to see my boost on the dash it is great to have such easy access to that info without having some type of controller

Dude! I just noticed you are doing 85 in snow/ice mode.

Magnuson Moss Act says that modifying your car does *not* void the warranty... But if the changes you've made caused a problem, then the dealer/manufacturer do not have to honor the parts that were affected.

So if you tune your car and then your engine blows up, you're gambling your warranty. But the Magnuson Moss Act says the dealer is responsible for proving the modification caused the problem which would impact the warranty on only the specific parts involved.

There are likely a thousand Chevy dealers... Not all of them are familiar with the act, nor care about it. Some will take care of you regardless... Some will not work with you no matter what you say. In the end you need to understand that installing a modifcation *may* directly impact the warranty of the parts it affects.

Any disputes between you and the dealer regarding the above are 'civil' and not criminal, and would need to be resolved via the BBB, arbitration, or courts if a resolution can not be worked out. Which is a huge PITA, which is usually what dealers stand on to get their way... The knowledge that you won't actually take them to court.

Sounds very interesting

Lol nah no e85 here I just got pic from Google search it was first cluster I found that look like mine was to lazy to go take a pic of mine since it was was raining and all when I was looking it up lol

I have a serious question about hacking:

How do you get into the window control operation to roll them down AND up with the remote? I know you can roll them down, but about a year ago someone posted a video of their windows rolling up with the remote. Unfortunately he would not tell how he did it and was being an annoying jerk about it, sort of a "neeener neeener neeeeeeeeener".

Any idea how he did it?
