Modding the boxes, well you can do what you like to your own property, but as Chris T points out

But that would be the end user who connected it not the modder.

So if he can buy them legally (unlikely IMHO), he can mod them, but the end user cannot connect them and he should sell them with a disclaimer stating that thier use may be illegal (bit like they used to have to do on radar detectors).
