obd thingie/ carchip...

[xcusememisswyn]

my dad just bought me this thing called the CARCHIP that keeps track of my speed every five seconds... and 5 mph over to my dad is REALLY bad! so i was wondering where the OBD thing is bc thats where it gets plugged in, and if anyone has any advice to make it seem like the thing wont work on my car by blockin the adapter or anything...anything at all!! lol



wit this thing, my 240 mite actually be no fun...




PS u cant unplug it bc it records every time u do...

LOLLL, I can see it now, your dad watching the late night news on Channel 3 and the local "safety guy" come son and says he's got a new gadget to protect the kids, and your dad is all like "wow, with this I won't have to pay attention to what my son does, I can just plug it in and I can sit back on my ass, he'll be safe now!"

Those things are sad.

I hate parents like that, mine won't even bother spending money on that carp.
Here is what you do,
*Break in somehow with minimum or no damage, (wear gloves)
*Take out all the goodies (money, cd player or something like that)
*make sure to take this thingie out.
*tell your dad you've been robbed.

Or you can cut some wires to make it "not working" just make sure you cut where it can be resoldered/connected back.

whoa.. control freaks. sorry to hear about your dilemma... that really sucks. since it is a new thing.. for me at least.. we probably won't know a convenient way to deactivate off the top of our heads. I'm sure as time passes.. things like this will definitely be on the internet somewhere...

Try searching elsewhere... like one of those computer technical forums with a bunch of computer geniuses... haha

tell your dad he needs to chill out, because you only get to live once, and you have to learn from your mistakes, and then take the car chip out, and shove it right up his ass.

so he's MAKING you install this on YOUR car??? do you pay for everything?? insurance? gas? registration? cause if you do then he has ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT to throw that shit on you. i'd be livid if my parents ever tried that shit on me

[93-240SX-COUPE]

But you also have to consider his accomadations at home if he does live with his parents, if they're paying for his schooling, and shit like that. You know one of those, "As long as your living under my roof..." type a things that parents do. But yeah that sux ass.


And how exactly does the chip or whatever know when your on the freeway from the streets, unless it has a gps locator on it, which if it does, then your pretty much screwed and I wouldnt tamper with something like that(sounds expensive).

If your car is a 5-Spd you could disconnect the 4th And 5th gear sensors when you want to go out and go fast....but the ones we sell at sears "CAR-CHIP" arent for 240SXs. I wouldnt let my parents put it on my car without a fight unless they paid for it then crap.

[xcusememisswyn]

yah he said its only for a week which is BS but he pays for insurance and loaned me money for the car so i dont have much against him... sux

[nissanfanatic]

Its only for a week? Not that bad. Just drive safely for a week and good bye gayness.

Now if it was for a while, I'd make a point of hitting 112 a couple times a day. "Hows that for control biatch?"

[xcusememisswyn]

haha thats what all my friends told me to do...
would take some balls with my dad tho, hed prolly kill me... im thinkin about pluggin it in my girlfriends car, she thinks the speed limit is the sign minus 10... then hed be real surprized... my dads a pilot, hes gone every other week, so i could make it work

[logik23]

Sounds like he's using this to cover for his innability to look after his own son.

[sidewayzS13]

ok heres what u do. sack up ur balls and take that little speed thing out throw it on the ground and stomp on it excessivly. repeat if needed. cause if u break it i dont think ur dad will waste the money to buy another one

[D-Bo]

i think you should tell him to be reasonable and not so anal.. there's a point where it becomes excessive and he's come to it..

[AWDSR20]

U NEEED TO TALK TO UR DAD.
This is not about cars, but trust and maturity between a father and a son. The lack of trust will deteriorate in time if u don't confront ur dad.

That is sad man... I will never let anyone control me like that. (Having curfew and all is ok , but actually MONITORING my speed behind my back is utter gayness!!)
