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?
Even OBD1 cars had that in the form of a blinking check engine light.
Our 85 Thunderbird used to blink a set of numbers out. But you still had to have some type of information to make use of it
Shit, it works for my furnace 😅
