Hey, is there any difference between this hardware and your typical OBD-II Bluetooth adapter? In case not, they could market the app separately and allow people to use their existing adapters.
- thejo 11y agoThe last thing we wanted to do was build hardware! But, we could not deliver the experience we wanted to without building it. This blog post describes some of the reasons we built hardware - http://blog.automatic.com/why-we-built-the-link/ http://blog.automatic.com/why-we-built-the-link/ If you want to learn more about the latest generation hardware - https://www.automatic.com/adapter/ https://www.automatic.com/adapter/
- kodeninja 11y ago@thejo so if we buy the 2nd Gen Link, will it keep exposing more data, simply via firmware upgrades, or will there be a 3rd Gen Link, at some point? I guess my question is, will these features be purely firmware-based, or will they actually require upgrades to the Link hardware as well?
- gusmd 11y agoWow! It does look like you did some serious work on the hardware part. Thanks for getting back!
