Who is going to look at that stuff apart from technicians?

Anyone who owns expensive equipment and is serious about true ownership including all possible maintenance and repairs. Hi, I'm the guy who would be looking at it if it was visible without shitty dongles or 5-figure ASICs.

Tell your employer they could have share prices doing numbers if they did the slightest bit of QOL improvements for anyone remotely like me.

I disagree... Error codes from the OBD port are usually system-specific. They make troubleshooting very easy if you use online resources... I just want a quick readout on the included hardware.

Not a fan of dongles and such. I own a few different 'Amazon specials' and the UI feels like hot garbage (given I use them maybe 1-2x a year at most).

I am going to spend my holiday break looking into this, thank you very much!

Shit, it works for my furnace 😅

They don't want to maintain the software for it.

That's fine, I just want the error codes displayed on the existing screens. No software necessary for that. Maybe a simple script at worst..

Also, they simply don't want you to know.

They want it to be known, otherwise there wouldn't be fail codes output to the OBDII port....

It's meant for diagnostics only.

Yes. Why don't they display diagnostics error codes on the existing displays? I'm fine with special display modes and "secret" menu options.

Great speech, but while you're in the guillotine line consider this side bet me and the boys have..

I reckon you and get through at least half the alphabet between when the blade falls and you truly meet your end. I have a six pack of sassafras on the line and I'm betting you can truly come in clutch me muskkk.

Counting on you 🫶

Look at the international stage and you can see the elite are choosing to live in dictatorships across the board.

They are choosing an environment they would prefer.

I'm tired of pretending like what we think or feel matters in the way things play out.

Join me in getting mad at this.

Personally, I'm a firework.

Katy Perry told me so.

presumption

I read the entire thread. You had every opportunity to honestly communicate or to stop grandstanding as the threads biggest dingus.

You did neither.

Have a great day 😅

Eish, that's horrible. Knowledge about the tech you paid thousands for should NEVER be a live service.

I'm about to go back to horse and buggy.

facts

None of which appear in either comment.

That's neat

I can't even get my manufacturer to give me a fuse box diagram.. what make do you drive if you don't mind me being nosy?

 

Modern cars have MASSIVE digital displays, loads of computers systems monitoring every subsystem and internal diagnostics running to the OBDII ports.

Why the hell can't we get diagnostic feeds on our console or infotainment center?

I'm not aware of any car manufacturers selling their own diagnostic ASICs, so it's not an extra margin to squeeze afaik...

What gives? Any insight into this beyond the usual muh corporate profits conjecture?
