How many computers on the Evo?

Since there are so many people hacking into the ECU to change fuel maps and such, I wondered if anyone has tried manipulating the other computers on their car?

The last car I owned had something like 13 different computers to control everything from climate control to accessory functions. I’d imagine that all new cars do the same thing (have many computers) including the Evo.

Has anyone gotten in to the transmission/differential controls to tweak it (USDM)? What about even the accessory controls? I’m sure people would pay to have feature like “all window” auto down and auto up flashed on their accessory computer. Foglights as DRL's would be nice too.

Just a thought.

why not? I think this is interesting, but I really don't have a clue about how it is done.
