@abirozy Did you end up doing your PPF and other stuff at Protective Film Solutions in Costa Mesa ? How were the results? Do you mind sharing the price if you still have that info? Thanks!
That's because the off-the-shelf scan tool cannot correctly interpret the data from your Bolt. Only the OEM factory/service tool knows how to read such data - although there are some standardized stuff (DTCs, for example) but large portions of diagnostic messages are up to Manufacturers.
I don't think the term OBD there means the physical OBD-II port under the steering wheel. It rather refers to the On-Board Diagnostic standards (ISO-, SAE-).
Thanks for the links. I remember in one of the Rivian's videos showing the Normal plant that a women is holding an iPad-like device. I believe that's what Rivian is using to gather vehicle diagnostic data wirelessly while building cars.
I know Progressive give you two options: OBD Dongle (the original device) and Mobile Phone. I'm not sure 100% but I assume the Mobile Phone option will require you to turn on location sharing and will get speed data to see if there is any hard braking/sudden acceleration.
I read that that law was changed not to require OBD 2 port anymore in EVs - as mentioned by @DucRider . I believe conventional chassis data will be broadcasted on CAN bus and video/audio/any big data will be on Ethernet. Of course, all of them will not be accessed to the end user.
Does any one know if Rivian has an OBD-II (OBD 2) Port for diagnostics scan tools?
If not, all these diagnostics messages reading/running service routines will be done by wirelessly through the telematic unit?
