Newb question, can I use this to change something in the configuration of the car? I have parking sensors that are absolute garbage (overtriggering all the time), and I would like to permanently turn them off. The turn off button works only for a moment.
- diamondo25 3y agoNo, that would involve coding, and that is vendor specific. You can look for your car manufacturers diagnostic tools, eg mercedes star diag, or vagcom.
- H8crilA 3y agoThanks. Does "coding" also go through the same OBD cable?
- HyprMusic 3y agoSame port but the cable you want depends on the brand, for example BMWs use DCAN so you need a cable with a chipset that supports that protocol. They can be had for fairly cheap, I'm sure other brands are similar.

- bigallen 3y agoI also have backup sensors that are garbage. I ended up wiring a rocker switch in the power line for the beeper/beeper control unit. When I’m backing up to connect a trailer now, I can focus on the backup cam/helper person outside without being subject to the constant beep
- YuccaGloriosa 3y agoIf a device has been produced and used, that sits inline on the can bus and changes the odometer reading, I'm pretty sure it is doable for something like reversing sensors too.
