That's what I'm trying to figure out at the moment. If Kashima-san found a way then it should work for us too. The SVX code was not written from scratch. It's based on the Legacy code but modified to handle two extra cylinders.

We get a perfect signal from the TCU and an imperfect one from the ECU. But if the TCU signal is going through the ECU's transmitter...
The three units are completely independant. I think in theory you could send a 78 command followed by a 45 command to make the ECU and TCU talk at the same time. They would probably crap all over each other's output, but I haven't tried this.

Do you get a response from querying the ACU? The JDM and USDM aircons units are different and I was wondering if yours responds in the same way as mine. Try sending command 89 to query address 000F. If it starts sending data then press buttons on the A/C unit to see if the data changes.
