Re: My '89 9670 build
As a smog tech I'm forced to attend automotive classes on a regular basis. Some high-end vehicles are now using an onboard "wifi" system called ethernet. This is how automotive modules talk to each other on these cars! Only the powers and grounds are hard-wired. I'm waiting for my first "accident avoidance" computerized brake repair or my first ethernet repair. Oy! The OBDII systems on these newer vehicles require something called a Pico Scope to diagnose communication "bus" errors. Really beginning to look like NASA at my shop on some days. I therefore have NO confidence this new stuff will LAST. It's too finicky, vulnerable to the elements and waaay too complicated.
