A man with your knowledge the wire harness should be a breeze for you. GOOD LOOK

Got it. I saw the number of wires in your project's harness and thought it was going to be more complicated than that.
Understood on all that. We will all continue to look forward to it, with reservations of course.
I'll add that, while my Goblin is not currently in a running/moving state, should you still need a testing dummy when that time comes, it's all yours.

I'm also in on this if it ever gets released! Watching this closely!

Have you dealt with these people, I’ve sent text messages and email and no response

Small company that may be closed or running at a reduced level because of the beer flu. Some builders have used them with good results before the pandemic hit.

Just got my bcm back from them. It was radio silence until I texted asking about the status. I’ve got a little bit to go before I can power it up, so I won’t know if it was successfully reprogrammed or not till then.

I have sent them an email and they actually replied back fairly quick for me. They said they could reset the odo on the cobalt bcm easily. They can't do anything else with it though. They won't or can't reset to zero but can get it to under 100 miles. I was going to send mine in to reset to 100 miles.

How long did it take

My Turn around was about 3 days. They will not promise a zero reading but mine was 0.
Changing either the engine or the electronics?
Did you try contacting odo-pros? Thanks for the tip Jaret. Their website looks promising. I called today (Sept. 7, 2018) but they must be taking a long vacation. I got a message that they won't be back until Oct. 5th.

It took me just over a week. I mailed it out on the 15 and got it back on the 26th. Memorial Day or Corona might have slowed down their processing time.
They charge $89 plus shipping to them. I used a medium flat rate box so shipping cost me $15. Not sure how this will impact titling. I’ll get to that hopefully later this summer.

In Missouri, it has no effect. I was surprised to find out in Missouri there is no law stating that a vehicle has to even have a odometer. Many older motorcycles don't even have one. However, if the vehicle has an odometer, it cannot be tampered without disclosure.
In Missouri, our Goblin is considered at 2018 (year built) and it is fully acceptable that it has a low or zero odometer. They have no tie in back to the donor whatsoever. Your state may be different.

My Goblin is titled as a 2019 Special Construction. It was titled with 5 miles on it.
What issues could that cause if that vehicle was sold?
None as long as it is all done before you title the car.
Also, what did they charge?
$90
Update: I was able to install my prototype interface on my Goblin and have been testing it for a few days now. It seems to be working well and the door pin output option is shutting down the BCM after the key is shut off - It is nice not not have the car powered up for 20 minutes after the key is shut off each time.
Next steps: Get a quote to have the hardware produced in volume and continue tweaking the software.

Yes, the 5th wire is tied to the drivers door pin and the module simply pulses it when the ignition is shut off so that the BCM thinks the door was opened and closed. If I leave the seat belt minder function in place, there will potentially be more optional connections.
Required Wiring:
- Power
- Ground
- GMLAN (Car Side)
- GMLAN (TPMS Side - OPTIONAL)
- Output 1 (Door Pin - OPTIONAL)
- More to come?
- Add sub-menu for a few pre-defined "welcome" messages
- Add "Gauge Sweep" function when ignition is turned on for visual interest
- Test seat belt minder function - decide if keeping or dumping

Brad, sounds like you are getting close. Put me in for one as it has the features I am looking for. As far as the seatbelt minder, many are using aftermarket seats and harnesses rather than stock. Would be good to make this switchable if possible to accommodate both ways to build - if too difficult turning this off gets my vote.
