While it does interface with techstream for body control configuration, the ECU encryption is pretty standard faire Subaru. Hence why Tactrix/OpenECU supported it so quickly.

New Supra has tuning in mind as well, the motor and chassis have a surprising amount of provisioning for tuners and tinkerers.
