I've had the Maverick I ordered for 1 week now, and we are totally loving it. Superlatives and nitpicks are about the same, I will try to make some new comments. But first the subject as posted
I find myself telling random people about how much I love my new truck! And I feel sorry for those...
While many of these modules do not fall under "rocket science" they can contain many ICs, connectors, and passive components, all of which are hard to get. And they use SW with diagnostics. Some are ASIL safety rated. And all have SW many people spent months to write and test.
I see an ECU...

I work in the "chip" industry. I believe there a thousands of "chips" in any new car. These chips may be as simple as 3 terminal temperature sensor to a microprocessor with 100s of terminals. There's a full spectrum between these two points. So it's hard to say which system is affected, in...
LOL!. I have a hybrid on order, but not scheduled yet. So I called around, and got above from a Southern California dealer. I chose not to correct, just said OK, thanks, bye.
The reason for the original question was a passing (and long gone) thought of would an I4 or V6 hybrid engine be good for a resto mod, like a 60s Mustang. Of course, ignoring the transverse, longitudinal issue. I then thought "who would want a vintage pony car that didn't go vroom vroom?" The...
A DAC is a Digital to Analog Converter. "Standard" CD audio is a DAC with 16 bit resolution sampled at 44.1kHz, with low 90dB signal to noise ratio (SNR). A "good" DAC will have more than 16 bit resolution, and higher than 44kHz sampling. Some DACs by AKM have greater than 125dB SNR, which is...
