Whether the new (Thailand?) owners of the X-Wedge rights will have the codes and be willing to release them - only time will tell.
That's a very interesting point Chris - nearly every manufacturer has someone within their development teams willing to let the Checksum codes out of the back door - they're too big to stop it I suspect. Which might be exactly how MMC and S&S have managed to keep that to themselves for so long, as there's only two sources and both are conscientiosly playing ball. Audi, BMW and M-B have new ECU lock-codes flying out the door pretty much within weeks of a new vehicle/ECU release and we all know how big the industry is around OBD tuning these days - money buys information quite easily now I guess (or indeed a cheap Chinese box to allow you to steal a posh motor with keyless entry....
