    This course is an eye-opener for anyone serious about automotive diagnostics. It clearly explains how open-source tools and reverse engineering can be used to access and interpret vehicle systems. The presenter dives deep into CAN bus communication, ECU behavior, and how proprietary systems can be decoded something rarely discussed openly. It’s technical but accessible if you have a background in electronics or programming. Highly recommended for technicians, engineers, and hackers looking to understand modern cars beyond just OBD-II scanners.
