Well, can't be that hard really. Okay maybe it can but not with the talent you people have over there. Anyone who has ever seen his BMW hooked up to the computer over at the dealer/workshop will know what neat things you can get from the inboard electronics on some cars. And hooking it up is often a no-brainer with most of them having a clean and ready connector for just that sort of thing already. The only problem would be catering for the different brands and possebilities. I doubt (though am not sure) that there is a standard for this stuff as far as data retrieval and formatting goes.
Why can't these people just use snmp and distribute a mib for it ?
