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?
Hondas infotainment is just android. And at least on my friends 2017 Civic you could get to the regular ass android interface. Most of them are some flavor of Linux.
Also you can install whatever head unit you want on most cars. You can even buy a head unit from china that will match your cars trim for like $300 from china.
