![]() ![]() Now, there is a very different argument about if HH actually decrypts a piece of code versus just replacing it (the whitelist is what it really changes). ) Remember that a lot of this is just CYA. However, if you own it, you own it, unless it is an Apple product. If you are leasing then yes, you must (as part of your normal lease agreement, may depend on state) adhere to all OEM license agreements and terms. It does make the author of Honda Hack in breach of the agreement, however not you the user/owner if you OWN the vehicle. Those are opensource code packages, you don't even need HH to access most of these features - HH just makes it easier for non-Devs. They also based their entire interface (the part we are talking about) on Android, with a Linux kernel and wrapper. Read it carefully and note it is mostly referring to YOU reverse engineering their systems, not altering it's function or use for YOUR purposes. The "excerpt" from the User Manual they include and quote does not make HH a breach of contract or agreement (EULA or TOS), and can't. ![]() The bulletin they released (attached) sounds ominous however actually does not say what they think it says (Honda US, not Honda Japan). I see no problem with Honda Hack regardless of what the OEM may publish. I am no attorney, not an attorney spokesperson, do not play one on TV, nor did I sleep in a Holiday Inn last night so don't take my word for it. What can you defend in court, what can they? New speakers and engine fuel injection computer fails - no, they had better honor the warranty or face losing in court. So, new speakers and my stereo stops working - yep, maybe a warranty fulfillment argument (but then assuming you hired a reputable installation company they have to pay for it). Do you void your car's warranty when you install aftermarket stereo equipment? How about non-factory recommended oil, batteries, tires? As most others have put forth - the general answer is "No" as the dealer or manufacturer (not the same) must in general prove that what you did caused the failure. It has been discussed at length across this forum and many others. You need to consult an attorney for that question. (Ok, with a tag like Neo - you should be very pro hacking.
