Ultimately, although it looks bright and shiny and new, it seems that it's not quite doing a whole lot for you. <BR>
<BR>
Granted, I wouldn't go someplace waaaaaay far away from dealer service without having an ODB reader of some sort. <BR>
<BR>
You don't want to be in Montana 300 miles from a dealer and be wondering what the check engine light means while the buzzards circle. <BR>
<BR>
But for normal everyday, it's not doing much for you. And it's very unlikely you can really find or fix anything with it. <BR>
<BR>
Maybe that's different for a Ford E-450 V8; maybe domestics are more honest in the ODB data they return. Definitely not so much for Toyota Prius or Dodge Sprinter/Mercedes. <BR>

I think it suffices to say that distracted driving is a bad thing all
the way around. Some people cannot talk on a phone and drive even with
a hands-free headset, after all.
