For VW you can do exactly that. The product is VAGCOM from ross-tech.com. It is not ODBII which is mostly limited to emissions issues, but communicates with all onboard systems. Example: If you want to change the duty cycle of the TDI diesel engine EGR, just do it.
But that is reverse engineering for VW, Audi Scoda etc. Probably not worth the effort for Saab which is a smaller market. And you have to remember, many Saab owners do not do any maintenance themselves.
So its really about invenstment and profit potential. Some would wonder if Saab will be around in the future.
So some things are happening. But don't get your hopes up.
