| jrg | So I just went ahead and bought a $30 iOS compatible obd2 adapter. | 02:43 |
|---|---|---|
| jrg | It’s smaller too so I can just keep it connected. Just need to make sure I take it off for oil changes so some chump doesn’t steal it. | 02:43 |
| jrg | Seemed a bit pointless to not just use my phone for this. Lol. Too bad carman didn’t run properly. | 02:45 |
| jrg | RIP N900 | 02:45 |
| jrg | Uhm. N810 | 02:45 |
| brolin_empey | jrg: OK. | 03:22 |
| luke-jr | jrg: I got one of those once; never could get it to work | 04:34 |
| sicelo | jrg: be sure the obd2 adapter will not drain your battery since you want to keep it connected | 08:29 |
| brolin_empey | sicelo: The vehicle may automatically turn off power to the OBD port when the vehicle is turned off. | 08:46 |
| sicelo | *may* ... at least many older ones didn't. don't know about newer ones | 08:48 |
| jrg | brolin_empey: I don’t think it does. Mine stays on when connected. But I’d assume it’s a very low amount of power. It can probably run for weeks on the car battery. | 20:00 |
| jrg | The older one I bought 10 years ago was when I owned a 1995 captive classic. And the stupid thing had an obd1.5 port lol | 20:01 |
| jrg | It was the year before obd2 was mandated. | 20:01 |
| brolin_empey | jrg: What is your current vehicle? | 20:02 |
| jrg | luke-jr: iOS only works with 4.0 BLE | 20:02 |
| jrg | A 2014 equinox | 20:02 |
| jrg | I bought it outright in 2015 heh. | 20:02 |
| brolin_empey | jrg: What is a Captive Classic? Did you mean Caprice Classic? | 20:04 |
| jrg | Yeah. | 20:05 |
| jrg | Auto correct i guess. | 20:05 |
| jrg | But capital I wasn’t fixed in that last sentence? :) | 20:05 |
| jrg | The caprice was great when I lived in CA but then I came back home to Chicago and it wasn’t very snow friendly. | 20:06 |
| brolin_empey | OK. I thought you meant Caprice Classic because I could not find a vehicle named Captive nor Captive Classic on en.wikipedia.org . | 20:06 |
| jrg | Yeah. Caprice classic. Lol | 20:06 |
| jrg | Sucked it didn’t have an obd2 port. It was some awkward port in between the standard. | 20:08 |
| jrg | 96 has obd2 | 20:08 |
| jrg | I think 96 was the last year for that style of car. | 20:08 |
| brolin_empey | Yes, en.wikipedia.org says that 1996 is the last model year of the fourth generation. | 20:21 |
| sixwheeledbeast | OBD wasn't adopted as quickly in the US, it been mandatory for EU cars ales for a long while. | 20:21 |
| sicelo | interesting. i always thought it was the other way round, i.e. US adopted it quicker than EU | 21:51 |
| sixwheeledbeast | American manufacturers all had there own proprietary connectors and protocols before OBD became mandatory in the EU | 22:04 |
| jrg | i think it was mandated in the US for 1996 and newer models | 23:01 |
| jrg | but yeah. prior to taht they had proprietary ones | 23:01 |
| jrg | govt putting OBD2 reader manufacturers out of business. i blame china :) | 23:01 |
| sixwheeledbeast | There where slightly different standards tho. You have OBD and EOBD they have been aligned over the years to EOBD2 | 23:13 |
| FatPhil | halftux: the general wordlists are really bad for anagramming. You want only common words, otherwise your anagram sounds like something a robot that has an infinite vocabulary would come up with. Which is crap. | 23:37 |
| FatPhil | And I appreciate that halftux isn't onchan at the moment | 23:38 |
| FatPhil | Is there a memo facility on this server? | 23:38 |
| sicelo | we do have at least two logging bots :) | 23:46 |
| sicelo | and yes, Freenode supports memos | 23:46 |
