Hello, do you know which diagnostic device was connected via OBD2?
I have been trying to crack the Ineos system with two IT colleagues via OBD2 for some time. It just takes time...there is a nice forum in Germany where people exchange information about diagnostic devices: https://www.motor-talk.de/forum/on-board-diagnose-b295.html
With Autel, Launch, iCarsoft (my favorite), Vident etc. with the "All vehicle brands software" you can do the standard things, but a service reset is not possible (yet).
After consulting the manufacturers of the diagnostic devices, it is indeed a matter of time before the service reset is also available for a niche vehicle such as the Grenadier.
It was a dedicated laptop with an ODBII plug. I didn’t get the model, but it wasn’t a Toughbook. It looked like any other laptop and he had an INEOS branded software up to do the reset. He did it in about 15-20 seconds. The ONLY quirk was that you can backdate the date of the reset as it sets the day and mileage timer. He asked me the date of the actual oil change that I performed and put that into the system as the next service interval. It was about a month prior to when I had them do the reset so something to consider. My guess is that the software prompts you for manual date of the service vs a simple reset of the system. I have not seen this on prior vehicle and this may be why it is not as simple as just hitting “reset”.

It’s Built on Bosch Grade X, the laptop is running a cloud service.

yepp. absolutely correct. any experiences with grade x? did you try to create a fake account on the cloud server? what is possible in the offline mode without FIN?
Dude you need a dongle(likely some
RaspberryPi type of device) between the vehicle and laptop. Getting access to this Bosch platform’s cloud environment will do nothing. You need a physical connection to the car. The dongle will have additional embedded firmware to communicate with the grenadier’s computer.

Will not be trivial to hack.
