As clown garage shop I already have access to the ECU, TCU and so on. And can change lots of internal settings. That's what we all did in the first auto-mechanics course.

You still can’t change many things and that’s great.

If you have the .A2L file everything is accessible. And I had all.

Thanksfully the clown garage shop doesn't. But CAN access SW is available for most models
