WEB-ENABLED ENGINE REPROGRAMMING

摘要

Program instructions and/or data used in vehicle computers can be downloaded into the vehicle from a personal computer, which obtains the information from a web server. Different types of programmed modifications can be readily downloaded into a vehicle simply by downloading the appropriate program. Once the program instructions and/or data are downloaded, they can be copied into a vehicle computer using available interfaces, such as the onboard diagnostic system connector (OBD-2) available on many vehicles.
