I think you'd get along with an AI car either way, you're pretty tech-savvy, and I think a future car would appreciate that. <br /><br />The self driving car thing would be sweet - at least sometimes. I mean, so long as it was smart enough, you know? I wouldn't want a car that was a little absent and wasn't concerned about its own mortality. But long rides, it'd be great. Lay back, read a book, take a nap. Whatever. Pefect. <br /><br />Enjoy it.<br /><br />Brady<br />Behind Bars<br /><br />P.S. I have no idea why I'm so fixated on AI cars today.

It would have made more sense if it was outside as the engine can't be used to go in reverse. It's always the electric motor.

Odd, since my comment was about the computer overlords. All I wanted to say was I think what you've actually done is activate the sentient AI. <br /><br />I think it's supposed to be more of an easter egg than anything practical, but now that it's going you've got a 50/50 on winding up with either Kit (Knightrider) or a flaming deathmobile.

E.g. you decide to carry something on the passenger seat. On many vehicles, you need to buckle the seat belt just to stop the annoying beep. The code sequence for disabling that is also online. Supposedly, the dash warning light will still blink but it will only beep once.<br /><br />As for engine functions, probably not but monitoring things may be reasonable with an in-car PC.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-13244639156008321522012-03-27T12:57:45.549-08:002012-03-27T12:57:45.549-08:00From the look I got from them, I suspect that nobo...From the look I got from them, I suspect that nobody's ever asked about it. And from the forums many dealers charge for them to make any sort of change. On the Dodge, I changed the lock behavior within a day of picking it up. I didn't like the horn honking or having to press the button twice to unlock. On the Toyota, these can be changed through the setup menu on the radio/Nav touch screen.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-39521793068807447402012-03-27T12:53:06.796-08:002012-03-27T12:53:06.796-08:00The OBD-II interface has been around since the lat...The OBD-II interface has been around since the late '90's but I never really looked into how to access it.

But not cool that the dealer wouldn't do it for you.<br /><br />When we bought our Nissan they told us we couldn't shut off the horn when we locked it. We read the manual and did it.

There are always ways to turn the noise off.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-84756724662807178982012-03-27T09:45:13.080-08:002012-03-27T09:45:13.080-08:00Clever, I woudnt even know where to start.Clever, I woudnt even know where to start.Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048736059922578612noreply@blogger.com
