The CAN bus is a known commodity -- intercepting the messages is easy. It probably takes no more than 1-day of reverse-engineering to figure out the EDC enable/disable messages.

So what's wrong with these companies? Are you telling me they only know how to make shocks and have no idea how to reverse-engineer computer busses?
KW and Macht Schnell both have code isolators for those with aftermarket suspension to prevent error codes from appearing.

If you're referring to integrating an aftermarket dampener to comply with EDC monitoring - that's a much different story.
