Ok,
The parts we need to access are within your vehicles Ecu, so first of all we need to access that.

They may be really really easy like a cossie, and as such just reside within a simple plug in chip, or they may be in a chip that look's like this:



For clarity, ive added a chip to the left of those now, and its a cossie chip
The cossie chip is 8k, the one on the right, 8mb IIRC. Technology eh?



Now that chip wont be in a socket, it will be soldered ono the board and require unsoldering. Do you fancy that job? No nor do i, thats Kennys specialist subject, im not capable of such work!

Heres some random pictures of other ecu packages and a couple of one being socketed for teh emulator to be fitted.







Ok,
So thats given you an idea just how much aggro it is to even get at the data within a modern car, and how easy it would be for us to wreck a £1000+ ecu at our cost.

NEXT: CHAPTER 3: What do we do with that chip?
