On my VW someone found a way to run scripts on the QNX os. We could log data from the os to a memory card, and do other os stuff.

I made a script to save the position of the car every few seconds. Planning to make some art out of it. Had it running for some years, will take a crack at it when the winter comes.

Have anyone done something similar on the Sync 4?

There is a thread on here for Home Assistant and I believe another custom logger using a Pi. If you just use/abuse the Ford API's, Ford will shut you down for abuse of the credentials and their TOS. They don't like you trying to improve or log information. I would think that the Sync SW itself would be easy enough to hack that you could create your own scripts to run right on the trucks HW and write out to a USB or other device, but I haven't seen that happen yet.

Following and hoping there are some embedded RTOS guys on here that can/want to work on this. There is a huge market if someone can crack the QNX OS on the IPC.
