For anyone purchasing Late Model Trucks and SUVs, it might be interesting for us to be very aware of what is shown in this Video as a CAN-Bus "Mileage Intercept and Spoofing" Device that was apparently removed from a Mercedes-Benz "E" Class Vehicle, but nonetheless is universal enough in its design concepts and application to represent a threat to ANY CAN Bus System. This device seems to be quite capable of fooling a fairly sophisticated Security and Mileage-Odometer Protection Protocol and apply a technique as the means to Alter the Mileage Electronically... 'On The Fly'.
This Nasty Device provides a surreptitious way that most of us might never consider looking out for while trying to get Valid Mileage Information and Background Information on the Vehicles we have an interest in Buying. Knowing that this thing exists, works and is recognizable might prove quite handy in the future if "Things just don't quite add up" or if the Vehicle with CAN-Bus shows signs of any Inexplicable Error Codes related to the Instrument Panel Cluster:
With THIS in Mind... Caveat Emptor (Buyer... Beware)
