Well..new vehicles are getting harder and harder to flat-tow. My buddy just asked me if I can find a way to tow their new '23 Escalade without having the stupid EPB kick on.
Of course, the "go-to" out-of-the-box answer that anyone will give you, is to just disconnect the battery. Well, he doesn't wanna do that since it erases all the memories and is a real PITA when you "boot" up again.
So, I'm wondering if there's a hack, bypass module, OBD port dongle, or some way to disable that thing.
FYI: I thought about yanking the physical cable, but apparently the EPB is used in so many other things, including hill hold, and adaptive cruise!
