How to change USB Product ID?

[reinisbaab]

Hi,

I have a USB stick with:
Product ID: 0x9016
Vendor ID: 0x15a4


The question is - how can I change/simulate/alter or whatever do, so that my Mac thinks that the device actually has a Product ID of, for instance, 0x9029 instead of 0x9016?

Is this even possible?

I would very much appreciate a clear solution.


Thanks in advance,
Reinis

Why would you even want to? What difference would it make?

A software recognizes and works with a USB DVB-T receiver, with Product ID 0x9015.

I have a USB DVB-T receiver with the chip which is needed, but with a different Product ID 0x9016.

If I would make my Mac to think that the device attached has a product ID 0x9015, then it would work with the software.


Anyways, I would appreciate a solution.

It's more than just "tricking" software into thinking it's a different USB device. If the software is only compatible with a specific device, "faking" the Product ID won't help. It won't make it compatible. Get the right device that goes with the software.

I don't think there is an easy way to change it. I'm not sure but on some devices it might be burned into the chipset itself and unchangeable.
