Overcoming ISA and Lane Assist etc on post July 2024 Cars

[jezzaaa]

Hi All - so this topic has been debated a lot. For me, the questions remain:

1. What will it take to un-code this so that it's off by default for UK cars? Is it likely to be just an OBD programmer for most cars?
2. I presume, since it's not a legal requirement in the UK (or so I understand) that there will be no legal issues with making that change.
3. I presume also that this would not be a warranty threatening move since it's a software config change.
4. Affect of that un-coding on insurance cover? Is there any word that UK insurers would take umbrage?

Would be interested in peoples opinions...

Cheers,
J.

I would very much expect a manufacturer to try and use coding out as a reason to avoid a warranty claim.

Sure but is that likely to succeed? They couldn't claim that it would risk the electrical/mechanical systems of the car. I don't see the justification for that if tested legally. And I'm not suggesting disablement of the systems concerned...just changing the default behaviour to being off from start.
