I have an older car with no backup camera, but I frequently drive my parents’ cars which both have backup cameras. Often, when I’m driving my own car, I find myself backing up while staring uselessly at my center console. Haven’t heard any screams or crunching noises so far, fingers crossed.
…never hurts to get your hearing checked?
WHAT?!?
How did I not see that coming?
Because you’re blind, not deaf.
I’d rather spend a week fixing my car than spend a week earning enough money to pay the dealer to work on my car.
Yeah but wealthy people get to extract money from you when you work and from the workers at the dealer when you pay them so they lock the car down so you can’t do that.

Thanks (speeduino) but…all my cars are 35 years old. No data port available.
Nice, but speeduino can so completely replace the computer of a car it can add the data port to a car without one.
This could be you with speeduino
In the U.S., ODB-I was mandated beginning in model year 1988, and ODB-II was mandated for all cars beginning in model year 1996. Technically, California mandated it, but the manufacturers all made their entire U.S. models comply with California rules for easier logistics.
ODB-I had terrible standardization and requires a bunch of model/make specific stuff to properly interface with, but in theory the 35-year old cars do have some kind of data port available.
Oops, most of my cars are 1985. more like 40 years old now. I do have a 1989 Ford Ranger but it has some special proprietary data port and when I bought the special reader it wouldn’t read. I have to use BRAIN POWER to keep it running.
I’d rather bike because the repairs are easier, cheaper, and I don’t have to pay for gas and insurance
I bought a used 25 yo hybrid off of Craigslist last November for $50 and I’ve put 2000 miles on it since then. I just can’t believe people spend $10K to $15K on bikes these days, but it’s fun to pass those things.
Yeah. 10 or 15k is wild to me. Got my bike for $210 used and it’s served me for 7 ish years now. Winter biking has done a number to it though.

I mean sure, but there’s reasons the owner’s manual and service manual are two different pdfs.
Some processes require more knowledge than can easily be described on a page or require specialized tools.
They are actually planning on making us watch an add , in order to use the backup camera… Coming soon
It feels like boomer humor but it’s really good
Sounds like a Ron White joke or something
