OVMS support for PSA eCMP vehicles - Opel Corsa-e, Peugeot e208 et al.
Good evening list, so, Citroen quietly published the following news at some point during the last week: "As the supporting platform and 2G/3G technology are outdated, posing additional security risks and vulnerabilities to data breaches, we have no choice but to switch off these services from 1 January 2024. This will affect all radio navigation systems that use a personal SIM card." It can currently be assumed that this will affect all cars based on the eCMP platform as listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Modular_Platform#eCMP Currently OVMS does not mention any support for these cars. I've searched this lists' archives and so far nobody seems to have tinkered with the platform at all. What options do you see for me, as a technically inclined user to change that? Currently, off the top of my head I can think of: - remote hands on affected hardware - collecting funds to help with an implementation with a kickstarter - ...that's about it. I know, I'm not bringing much to the table. I would like to hear your thoughts on this situation though, as I guess, at least some of the Opel/GM owners here have been through the same before. regards Harald
Harald, without a developer actually driving a car of that kind, you'll need to hire one. But it's impossible to implement anything without info on the diagnostics access. You need to provide that info. Please read: https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3/issues/255#... Regards, Michael Am 26.01.23 um 23:19 schrieb Harald Linden:
