I'm not a Saab person, but appreciate the quirkiness of them. They also stand out well in a crowd.

No they don't. There isn't a 'standard' app, API or interface.

Every vehicle sold in the US, as a 1996 or later had ODB II ports - none of the ports are bluetooth equipped. The Dash is the bluetooth device.

All vehicles sold in the US have to adhere to the OBD II standard (which means they all must have an ODB II port). The ports are not and never were bluetooth equipped. The dongle itself is what is bluetooth equipped.

The device just READS the information the On Board Diagnostics receives from the various computer modules. It is not sending anything to or through the OBD port or to the computer modules. I've seen the 'hacks' your talking about - especially on Mercedes vehicles. Those are highly theoretical and incredibly…

Given you specific issue, the best answer I have is the following:

Kill a young, blonde Caucasian blonde female... not gonna happen. Pick another race or sex.

Hit me back when the mainstream media picks up the story.

It would not be a direct connection to the battery terminals. Rather, just a 12V connection, which can be found everywhere in a car (or under it). I can foresee putting this in the glove box with a connection to the glove box light. Alternatively, I could foresee this going in a hatchback and being connected to the…

A funnier jeopardy!

Wow - I didn't think anyone would mention this. This is an INCREDIBLE podcast!

Ok Alan... I'm already a sprint customer with a iPhone 4S, Older Andriod (Zio) and a Blackberry 8830. I have no real coverage issues with Sprint (and am about to be free of contracts). I see they are doing a Beta on the 4S. I've been to their website and it seems pretty interesting. But is there anything I should…

Hate to tell you. It is not going to be deemed to be 'cruel and unusual punishment' because it was not a 'sentence' issued by a court. Horrible actionable treatment, but not 'punishment' in the legal sense. It sucks, I agree, but the law often doesn't know 'right' from 'wrong'.

Great to see someone take time to actually WRITE a note. Think about that too!

Saw an auction for an STS with a LS7 installed by GM as a test bed. But it was on a manufacturer's invoice and could never be 'legally' titled. It went for $32,000. If I could have had that car, what a sleeper!!!
