William, we don't get OBD11 over here. I'm presuming that with the change, you no longer have the option of plugging in the wire and getting the flashing codes, is that correct?

If so, it would mean the primary purpose of the Power light to show problems on startup and show codes is no longer needed. Maybe that's why it was deleted?
