I know it's just a meme, but an OBDII dongle


even a cheap $10 Bluetooth one


is super useful. You can read and reset the codes, and watch stats in real-time if so inclined.

The Bluetooth ones are definitely not as good as the dedicated ones but 100% better than nothing.

It's vital to know your own shit.

Hi, could you explain why? What's so good about the dedicated ones?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They typically offer more features and info for even only a few dollars difference...

...and my Bluetooth one died after a couple months just plugged in... Never had a standalone one do that.
