And honestly why would you encrypt the data other than to stop folks like us messing around with the controller.

I see the angle you're going at. I'd much prefer decompiling the software over that method, but if it can't easily be decompiled, then your way is a logical next step...but man that'd be tough because even if you figured out things on your cart...who knows how it might differ on other carts.

There might be 1 flipped bit that forks the entire communication protocol. Like a bit/flag that says "display all communications in RPM or MPH" and then everything would be off.

I just really want to see the software. I have a buddy moving near me in March and he's set on getting a golf cart, so I might have my hands on a 2022 around then.
