Anyways, it's funny how the keyboard experts are all silent on this particular method

Well, I can not answer you specifically on what reference dates.. but you would think an ECU as sophisticated as the ones in our cars would also log date and time of the data it's reading. Surely even if you were somehow able to trick the car into accepting another ECU I would expect them to see that the last data on the ECU you swapped doesn't match up. IE the dates for all data would be like 3 months old from when you last had it in the car. Again, not an expert at all on any of this... ****Can we please keep the conversation about XHP and it's detection***
