You are correct again. Plug and play it is not. I only said it was as the "closest to Plug-n-Play old cars can get" to that. Obviously, anyone can "rig" up their own custom device and then make it possible to move, for instance, the display unit from car to car-- but I think what the plug-play poster meant, was that IF such a standardized interface existed, it would be more "LIKE" the plug-n-play scan gauge for newer cars. That having been said, I am painfully aware of the "dangers" of taking something simple and effective, and making it complicated-----purely in the name of technological elegance. I am just as cognizant that one "intended" consequence of the status quo, is by definition, to throw sand in the engine of change.
