[SGVLUG] Anyone familiar with OBD

[matti]

ack!

OBD - what a scam they have on the mechanics and
us, attempting to force us to only use the
dealership to determine what is wrong with
our cars.

My mechanic had to buy some expensive equipment
from a 3rd party to handle the new OBD stuff,
it was NOT cheap.

frustrating.

I WOULD love to hear what you find out Solomon.

would be nice to have even a presentation ;)

thanks!
matti
