i wouldnāt be so sure in that. Iām sure they have info or a procedure from the Oemās to verify the calibration.This is not happening. Sounds good, but they have no means of confirming a tune is loaded. If the tune is good and all monitors are set, etc, it shouldnāt be a problem.

GM uses a CVN for confirmation, but the problem is, none of the CARB approved tuners on the market have been told how to provide a CVN matching their EO. If this article, and countless others that have been circulating this week are correct, it would mean that even if you had a legit, carb approved, EOād tune installed, it would fail.i wouldnāt be so sure in that.

When was this? Prior to this week no such verification system had even been discussed publicly. If all of your monitors were set and everything was green and they failed you, I would like to see that report.Yes they can, as they are already doing it. My E92 M3 had a tune and all readiness green and they knew it had a tune. They failed me I had to revert back to OEM before I sold the car.
One year ago. They look at the CVN number. That is why I went with the Ford Racing power kit for my 2020 GT.When was this?

Now, if the tune that you loaded behaved in some manner other than I described previously, where it just blasted in some random calibration that did not belong to your vehicle, sure, thatās a problem. But that has nothing to do with the tune, and more to do with it being delivered in the manner that it was.
'Come Monday, however, if your car's ECU program isn't verified as legal by a California Air Resources Board (C.A.R.B.) Executive Order, then your car won't pass smog, regardless of its emissions output.'If this article, and countless others that have been circulating this week are correct, it would mean that even if you had a legit, carb approved, EOād tune installed, it would fail.
Hereās the deal. I work for a manufacturer that produces carb legal, EO equipped tuning devices. Our devices work the same today as they will Monday. Beyond the little CARB sticker we provide them, which is what has been used for years, nobody can tell the difference between our tune and the stock tune. And if there is such a plug in check, where our tune is supposed to somehow tell the test operator what EO# it is tied to, they have not asked us to do that. The sticker is still the only way.'Come Monday, however, if your car's ECU program isn't verified as legal by a California Air Resources Board (C.A.R.B.) Executive Order, then your car won't pass smog, regardless of its emissions output.'
Seems to be saying that If it has a legit CARB approved EO it will pass. I may be missing something.
So it is not about emission if they will ignore the results. Interesting.'Come Monday, however, if your car's ECU program isn't verified as legal by a California Air Resources Board (C.A.R.B.) Executive Order, then your car won't pass smog, regardless of its emissions output.'

There are no sniff test in California for car 2000 or newerSo it is not about emission if they will ignore the results. Interesting.
I know lived in Miami til 87 great weather, left could not stand the atmosphere any longer. Hard to be in the US and reside in a banana republic.Agreed. You canāt beat the weather in SoCal but otherwise besides that I hate this state. I have until 2027 before they test my car. If I still have it by then I may just register it at my nieces house in Minnesota where they donāt test and say Iām on vacation.
