@bugbyte that is absolutely the way to go IMO. if people want to start a new FE just because no current FEs provide a certain feature nothing will ever come about but a collection of FEs with many different features but none that have even close to everything.
since the majority of FEs have plugin capability and are all OS X based there is little stopping somebody from writing the code that does all the work and "porting" it to all the different FEs. obviously there are likely some exceptions but I'll wager an OBD2 or GPS module could be ported fairly seamlessly across the board. If i end up being the one who writes it driven by donations then I have no problem with the code ending up in any of the other FEs at all.
just somebody needs to get the ball rolling. right now I am swamped at work and I am obligated to finish the XM module before moving on to the next thing.
@hanzov
I will gladly take up the offer if it still stands after I finish the XM module. I feel more comfortable taking the initiative on OBD2 then navigation since I have no idea where to even start with navigation.
couple of questions. how does the scantool interface with the mac? what drivers are needed to communicate with it? do you have or know where I can find good documentation on OBD2 communication?
If you end up sending it to me and I can't do anything with it I will send it back
