    BCM EDIT POSSIBLE? 6l80 program of virgin computer from factory?

    Guys Im asking you because I dont know anybody else to turn to. I need to be able to edit the BCM functions nothing real crazy. I have a very strong need to modify door locks on all late model gm trucks and cars I get a request for this daily. I would be willing to pay extra or buy whatever extra hardware it would take! Also a huge thing would be the ability to eliminate or modify scrolling messages in the message center this would be huge! Im willing to pay and Im sure others are too.


    Another request is to be able to program 6l80 tranny computers for initial startup. I.E. I just had a customer purchase a new 6l80e from GM and replace the 6l80 that was in his truck and it would not work. I pulled the tune in the tranny pcm it was complete but the truck was throwing a code saying the tcm needed to be programmed as it turned out I couldnt get it done a GM tech had to do it with a MDI module. If you could help with this I would also be willing to pay!

    Thanks for your time I want to be clear Im not demanding anything just asking if yall could think it over it would put yall even further ahead of the competition! Keep up the good work

    There is no BCM editing software AFAIK. The dealership will only reprogram a BCM based on the vehicle's VIN, but won't modify specific functions nor disable anything, only a stock reprogramming can be done even if you own a Tech2 or MDi with tech2win sobscription.

    However I know it can be done because I was looking for something like that a while ago, but I have not found any commercially available software/cable to do it yourself.

    I'd love the ability to play in the BCM. More than willing to pay for a software package that could do it. I don't know the first thing about writing my own software for it.

    Wish I had more time to devote to such a thing, but I'm swamped in dev work already.

    Hopefully HPT sees the value in devoting some roadmap to this. I know I'd pay to unlock such features.

    Anything like choosing DRL's (in country's like the US where they are NOT required), defaulting TC/stability control to off rather than on, or competitive mode...windows/sunroof down/up with the keyfob, adding a delayed wipe to the washer fluid to get that last bit of crap that sprays back up on the glass from the wind over the car...actually disabling my backup alarm (rather than just until the next ignition cycle)...disabling TPMS so you don't have lights on the dash when you put your drag wheels on for a few hours...I wish I could do any/all of those.

    I've tried...he's not offering anything for the Camaro...maybe someday, especially since he's shown some teaser videos, but nothing yet.

    And when did you contact me about a custom job? Just because I don't offer it publicly doesn't mean I can't/won't do it I don't have time to add 5th Gen full time to my plate but I can take care of all of this.

    I e-mailed a couple times, but I guess I mostly just generally asked you when your Camaro stuff would be publicly available.

    I'll send you an e-mail now. Thank you!!!

    I'm going to contact you at some point. I'd kill for the ability to change Gen5 Camaro BCM functions like NPP vs rpm, electric steering assist vs speed, Traction Control default mode, and Hill Start disable.
