I had an LG with really bad retention - I took it to an Apple store where the rep saw the issue. Two days later I picked it up and haven't had a problem since. It was very easy to get it replaced and is great for coding for me.
Yes, I noticed this too. It really hard to invest time with such a restrictive license. Do you know by any chance if Odometer value is a real odometer or distance since MIL or something else. Odometer is not a standard PID and I was curious to see if Ford opened that up.
OpenXC had a really easy to way to get odometer readings, otherwise according to [1] "For a Ford vehicle, the odometer can be read via a mode $22 PID of $6180 for km clusters, and $6182 for mph clusters.". [2] Also talks a bit about reading Odometer. Shame there isn't a standard for reading it.
But I think you miss the gist of my statement. My apologies. I should have been clearer. I said "...anybody else with access to the box can tell exactly how you've been driving..."
The issue here is that the car is automatically equipped to provide such tracking. Whether the tracking is turned on by default, by court order, by the police hacking your system, by the company in order to verify test drives, by your insurance company convincing you to give them the data -- all good and interesting situations for discussion, but not germane to what I was saying.
In fact, it's not the company I worry about. It's consumers who will easily be lured into turning on tracking by their insurance companies -- and then this data will be available to anybody who has system access. We are our own worst enemies.
Your car -- a large, heavy, physical piece of reality which you trust to get you from point A to point B -- is now only so much software. That's a big deal.
I remember reading the zoom lenses weren't possible because of having to keep a lubricating fluid wet. This posed challenges (heating from mar's extreme cold, etc) so it was scrapped for the time.
