This video is a retrospective of how I got into car hacking, and how my project OpenVehicleDiag came to be, as well as what has inspired me to continue my work in this field. Happy #carhacking!

You also get to have a quick look at my #Mercedes #W203 in full, that I have featured on the channel over the past few years.

A huge thank you to everyone who's supported me over the past couple of years, allowing me to document my entire journey of car hacking!
