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.

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.

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.

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?

I have a couple of those OBDongles that pair over BT, honestly the interface leaves a lot to be desired.

I admire your creativity!

Cheers

My spouse used to work in the industry. I can confirm your take with first hand experience 😮‍💨
