Most modern cars you can get this by plugging a laptop into the OBD port.
Hm. I might have to look into this when I get a newer car. Still 'rocking' a 00s Honda at the moment.
Everything post ‘97 should have an OBD or OBD2 port which should connect to the default laptop adapters/software.
Thanks for the tip, I had no clue. Will look into it!
