It's just basically an expanded OBDII capability for reading module data and resetting

modifying maps...
Yeah, that's the way it used to be. The newer software comes with warnings about programing modes. - essentially warning 'don't brick your car. --it's more expensive than an iphone.'

I have yet to play with reprogramming anything, but the point is, systems are being mapped with more and more variables these days. ...the '80's Carrera chips have relatively few variables. -simple, by today's standards.
