The new "Digital Technician II" is in constant communication with the servers at HD Corporate as well as SPX Corp..... for software updates, realtime diagnostic feeds, DTC/Symptom diagnostics and repair Labor coding, along with a few other small nuances.
As far as being programmed to "Snitch/Spy" on the vehicles system, anything is possible, but I haven't seen it in our shops... but then again, I am in Pennsylvania, and don't curently have the Tree Huggers preventing us from doing "Race Use/Closed Course" types of ECM reprogramming....
There was talk of a pilot program for certain bikes and customers that would have a modem installed on their bikes to transmit frames of engine/system data to HD Corporate for realtime analysis of what types of stress' the bikes are put under in the real world.... Don't know what came of it....
