DNJ never claimed to be expert, was just reading T&C.

Since when was a notification required for a pattern part? I don't remember any internet experts mentioning it.

Anyone seen how a radiator is structured? Not me. My OE unit was taken out by a crash-for-casher. It leaked between one of the radiator's plastic tanks and the aluminum part. The radiator is quite simple. It comprises of horizontal channels, and then a tank at either end. The tank is clamped...

Equally possible there are no poor people around who need to steal. People just politely walk up and ask if selling.

No need to learn something that doesn't happen where I am. Even if it I happens, I don't see the point of worrying over a £500 write off. The road tax will be more than that soon.

I made no such claim. I know next to nothing about electronics and don't really want to know because I simply have no more space in my head for them. But I do know about device functions, i.e. what stuff are capable of or could be made capable of. Hence, I am able to tell you: if car...

Where did I profess to know so much. Anything I say, I know. I said nothing about canbus. Therefore I know nothing about it.

Have you brought one to know it's not a scam? Also, was it payment by cash? Otherwise, how would the seller get away with it?

I will believe it when I see it. I have never had a car stolen nor know anyone who had one stolen. So, the possibility is not something I think about. There are cameras all over London. This could be the reason why theft might be rare.

Not pretending. My car has K-line. I don't even know what k-line is, much less what canbus is. I don't watch TV, and youtube has never recommended k-line nor canbus. So, I am in the dark.

I don't know. I don't have one, or will have one. Tell us, what are the stats? Which is the most stolen? I had my car for a long time and it was not stolen, get an E46 then if you are worrying about theft. It seems desirable for stealing since I keep getting strangers asking if selling.

The video is about 2026 cars. So, you could be out of date by 20 years. As a rule, no network connected security systems can be broken into because the master key is physically stored on the manufacturer's property. To compromise that, you have to physically break into that. Modern car-tool...

They cannot. I have an app for the 14 year olds. They have been unable to break in for 10 years. There is no prospect they ever will. This is actually a problem, because app distribution becomes impossible except at great cost of advertisement. Since when has a crackhead 14 year old been able...

I know for a fact SSL used by your browser cannot be broken into except by state entities. Same tech can be used for securing anything else. Any backdoors would be put into a device by the manufacturer. The reasoning is nothing more than simple profit. Although, backdoors in CPU's would be for...

These might contain malicious code that could brick your ECUs. The dealer route might end up being cheaper.

Wrong. They get dragged into a van and sent to the front. The smartness isn't there. Wong. American ones say ukrainians did it and save themselves from being arrested. At times, they also say the chinese did it. If car makers want to lock down their modules, they can. Modern security cannot be...

Eating sushi gives them ideas is all I can speculate why japanese related economy parts are unsatisfactory. I used to use japanese sports equipment. Same story there.

Got fully refunded by aliexpress as well. Given my spotless reputation (on their platform), they didn't bother to wait and inspect the returned item that was a bit chewed up by pliers. So, the final cost of the job was an over-priced petrol can that had no use whatsoever. The job also reaffirmed...

You are stuck in the past. The future terrifies you so you go into denial. IPv6 addresses will be going into car parts. The "internet of things" concept has been around for a long time.

Eventually yes. We are only at the start. The after market makers are goners. The silver lining is all parts will fit.
