The "let's brainstorm how to make a piggyback work" thread - Toyota Yaris Forums

OK guys, as most of you know, getting a piggyback to work on a USDM yaris has been a major PITA for those who have tried.

That being said, we seem to be (at least I am) a bit in the dark as to why and how that is.

So I propose we use this thread to discuss what has been tried, what hurdles have been met with, and how we could do this.

Let's remember the Yaris is not some magical device conjured out of the mind of a madman... It is a human construction based on human-devised electronic systems, and thus these systems can be reverse-engineered by other humans

I, unfortunately, have no experience in this outside of the theoretical, but I've been reading the technical/repair manuals in quite a lot of detail and have a good understanding of the various quirks of this car, especially with regards to its emissions systems... so let the discussion begin!
