yeah, I think it would be simple to fake it. I mean, the simplest way would be to just move the location of the checksum, and leave the original in place - the CVN check would then reference the "fake" one and never know the difference. It's never come up though, I doubt I'll ever need to do that.

actually, I was at the dealer in our old E91 last year for an ELV malfunction (they replaced the column, I was stranded). The tech was pretty cool and I chatted with him a bit about the custom code mods, and asked him not to flash the computer because at the time, my RSA delete would brick if you flashed it with stock software. He didn't even bat an eye, and had my column replaced in a couple hours (considering the car was so bricked you couldn't even boot it up, steer, or push it, I was impressed).
