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?

    I had an old Android tablet running Torque in my dash where the radio used to be. Adapter and phone app, $20.

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