I was just at the gas station, and put air in three of the four tires on my car
(I couldn't get the air hose to reach the right rear tire). The mobile app I have from
the manufacturer is incorrectly reporting the tire pressures on the car — it says the
tire I couldn't reach is now up to spec, and one of the tires I could reach is still
below spec.
Because I'm a good guy, I'm working to contact the app developers to let them know
they may have their wiring mixed up with regard to the air pressure reporting — I
believe they've got the right rear data being reported in the right front, and visa
versa.
So I'm on a call with OnStar and she's telling me I'm receiving the data incorrectly
because I don't use the app often enough.
Now I have to weigh the cost of staying on the phone with this script-bound kid, who
insists on sending data to my car, against the velue of getting the message to the app
developers.
It's becoming a question of how badly I want to help — whether it's worth
enduring their procedures and diagnostics. All I really wanted to do was shoot
OnStar a quick e-mail.
