  • I live a few miles from the border and cross at least weekly. You could generally get away with this for a handful of things, especially if you’re smart about it (dispose of all packaging and tags, have an otherwise legit reason for a short visit, etc).

    But if they question you, and they determine you’re intentionally lying about it, you can expect to pay additional fines and lose several hours of your life.

    I work in automotive, and have done a bunch of work on the Bolt.

    Unfortunately, vehicles made in the last 5 years or so are protecting CAN bus traffic from exactly the kind of thing you’re looking to do. You’d need to know exactly how to calculate certain values on your messages to be able to replicate them, plus you’d need to block out the messages from the actual OnStar ECU. This isn’t really feasible, unfortunately.

    You can probably still read traffic from the OBDII port, but I don’t recommend trying to send traffic (those busses are often pretty loaded up anyways) unless you have an existing tool that you could replicate exactly.
