    Turn the car off, shift to 4th gear, press break, break and windshield wiper, then turn it back on to enter Developer Mode

      You joke but my old FJ Cruiser requires you to turn the key to accessory, turn it off, turn the key back to accessory, open and close the door three times, turn the key back off, turn the key to accessory while holding the odometer reset button for 5 seconds and then it will enter pairing mode for the remote fob.

      It made me feel the same joy as pressing the option on my Android phone 5 times to enter development mode back in the mid 2010s but it gets old quick.

        And for this next trick, we will dance the macarena while reciting the alphabet backwards and jumping on one foot!

        We need to test a vehicle on a dynamometer and to get the transmission into dyno mode it was something like that, press brake 3 times, press the button on the shift selector twice, move to neutral then reverse 3 times, etc, it was a super long combo. It was so satisfying to see the CAN message that we entered test mode

          They could’ve stopped at step 3 but they gave you 8 more steps to feel like a true hacker.

      I have a motorcycle that uses a keyfob, there’s a sequence of events using the stop-run switch and the turn signals so you can enter a code and get the bike to start.

          Harley-Davidson Nightster.

          The fob is actually my only complaint about the bike. It’s nice that it’s ready to start when you walk up to it, but it still has a key to unlock the steering. The fob is just uneccesary, could have included the immobilier in the key like car companies have been doing since the 1990’s.

            I was at a HD dealership recently trying to find out why so many people like Harleys. I test rode a Sportster 48, and then the salesperson tried to direct me to a Nightster. I think I sat on it but I declined to ride it because I didn’t want to be riding a 93hp bike after just a month of experience riding a slow 250. Definitely want to try one out sometime next year though.

              The Nightster is leaps and bounds above the 48. I cam certainly understand not wanting to jump from a 250 to a 975! One thing that helps me there is the different riding modes, it feels like a 250 when it’s in rain mode.

                The Sportster 48 is technically a 1200. One that makes less power than a 650, but still a 1200.

                If I test ride I’ll definitely try out all the modes.
