What Is Obd 111

[blackvelvet]

OBD 111 is a system to backup OBD11 to ensure that the motorist gets the repairs detected by OBD 11, done in good time,

Satellites and roadside monitors [ police] can read codes, and has been tested in bumper to bumper traffic at 100 MPH.

The monitor can pick out the car with a code on it's computer and it's VIN and any other information needed.

The owner can then be issued with a ticket with a time limit for repairs, and if neccessary a court appearance and fine if the repairs are not carried out within the time limit.

The system has been tested in California since 1994, and will soon be law.

Dont expect to get an OBD 111 reader soon!!!!!!

Powerful and wealthy lobby group in California leads to tax dollars for the state & the hairy shirters get to feel greener. Would need to be agreed by Europe all of America and the whole world legislation would have to change leading to a change in manufacturing. Not in my lifetime mate - never gonna happen.

Hiya QinteQ I genuinely hope you're right.........

 

But with technology going the way it is, I won't bet my last Mars bar.

It would be a doddle to write into the car software wouldn't it. And a piece of cake to transmit the info.

We wouldn't even necessarily know it happened, after all our phones and computers update programmes and apps all the time, with or without our permission.

Manufacturers could already have simply coded it in to update software wirelessly, but there's no money in that hey!

 

Easy money making for the authorities, and on the grounds of ultimately safety of course.

 

A constant "virtual" MOT test.......
