After having installed an Eonon GA6166 w/Android hotspot wifi functionality and apps like Torque, etc. I do not miss the OBC functions. About the only usable one for me that I look at is range remaining.

It has become a forgotten part of 2003 factory technology. So, for me, no worries.

Different strokes..............
