Learn how to program a CTS-V digital gauge cluster into a Cadillac ATS-V through this DEF CON conference talk that challenges automotive programming gatekeeping. Dive into the journey of a car enthusiast who, after choosing a manual transmission ATS-V over Japanese alternatives, discovered the vehicle lacked a digital gauge cluster. Rather than paying excessive fees to programmers or dealing with those who initially shared knowledge freely only to later demand thousands, explore the step-by-step process of reverse engineering GM electronics and programming. Follow along as the speaker shares their experience, methodology, and complete solution, which has been made freely available on Github to promote open access to automotive programming knowledge.
