That because we're slowly converging on car design where everything is a crossover. The further back in history you go the weirder cars get. They may have not all been good, but at least they were different.

Yeah, that's my only complaint with this project. The meme was dumb to begin with and it's too far in the past now anyway, so the wheels are silly. Easy fix, luckily.

I think that also hand OBD integrated as well. Always reminds me of some old vestige of automakers (mostly familiar with GM with this) having OBD built into devices. The Deville I had its own OBD II code reader on the dash. The Buick I had, by pressing a few buttons on the HVAC unit would do self tests and display codes for a bad blend door or something. Had to be some engineer who thought it was cool and slipped it through. Can't imagine much use for a typical caddy owner being able to show P0171 on the dash. Now that I think of it, our WJ does OBDII as well on the dash.

Are you really going to give a drat about the touchscreen from that velvet bordello of a back seat though? That's not a car to drive, that's a car to be driven in.

Many Chrysler products throughout the 80s and 90s had diagnostic info available by flicking the ignition cylinder between on and off in quick succession and then counting long and short flashes of the check engine light. Later models used the digital odometer to do the same thing. Older Hondas and Toyotas had similar tricks, but you usually had to put a piece of wire to jump two pins in a connector first. Chrysler did it with no tools at all.

GM did it for years by shorting two pins of the ALDL diagnostic connector. My '90 RX-7 had a diagnostic plug under the hood that you could similarly short two pins. I know I've worked on something that did the same thing as the Chryslers you mention, but I don't think it was a Chrysler product.
Actually, maybe it was! I'm probably thinking of my '95 Cherokee.

The MK3 Supra had a Super Monitor option that would let you get MPG info, codes, stuff like that.
