    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.

      My car doesn’t have a reliable km/h gauge so I used an app to poll the speed of the car and show it up on my phone exactly in the way you described.

      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.

          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.

      For older Hondas you can nab a Honda Interface Module for like $100. Installing the nutty pirated software is another fight entirely.
