have you guys seen this? I wonder what kind of support it has for older cars and how functional it could be for diagnosing engine problems

That first sentence was garbage.
There was actually a few oddly said things, but, there are some things about this such as being able to not only know the exact issue causing an engine light but clear trouble codes as well.
Overall I just don't see an immediate need for this unless it's extremely cheap to buy, like pocket change... and of all places, people on this forum can check/clear their own codes. Will drive like an ass regardless of gas mileage and/or can't even get great MPG to begin with due to mods/etc. And really, who forgets where they parked offten enough to buy something to track your car.
And then there's also people like me with an OB1 car.

I think it was like 50 bucks or something but It might be helpful for people who dont have an OBD

He might have of meant "people who don't have an OBD scanner."
stupid app.
the purpose of this is to essentially record your data and sell it off to other companies. that is probably where they got their funding from.
no thanks, i like my privacy. even though everyone at some point is unwillingly giving up their info lol.

"We believe every driver should be a smarter driver"
So we're dumbing down shit that anyone with half a brain should know about already?
Co-Signed on dude seems gay, looks like the biggest herb faggot. I bet after filming he had some one on one time with the director.

It has GPS on it so if someone steals your car, you will know where it's going. Also clearing CEL via my phone? I dig it.
