Sorry to disagree James, but I have been taught throughout most of my working life that the only way we solve real issues is to push in the right direction in order to achieve the best result for the common good of all involved. Burrying our heads in the sand and saying that it will never get fixed, or it has always been that way just does not fly anymore. For God's sake this is 2009 and we still cannot get a straight answer about just what a product can do from it's own manufacturer??? Please explain to me what kind of marketing strategy that falls under, and how that equates to a solid profit or company growth. Surely this cannot be the policy of any company if it plans to stay in business for any length of time.

I am sure that the majority of the auto makers were not in agreement about the OBD11 at the start of it all, but they did it for us. It made sense to simplify things for everyone, and setup a generic way to access and troubleshoot ALL domestic vehicles on the road worldwide. Any business today that uses proprietary stragities ends up losing in the long run, because there will always be someone else out there to do it better, cheaper, and easier and run you right into bankruptcy.
