Welcome to another In Wheel Time Podcast, a 30 minute mini version of the In Wheel Time car show that airs live every Saturday morning 8 to 11am, central Podcasting and streaming from the Sugar Shack Studios in Texas, usa.
It's the In Wheel Time car talk show.
Just ahead, kevin Fitzpatrick on diagnostic software to help you reduce your car costs.
This ought to be good.
You'll hear my thoughts on a week with the 2024 Cadillac Escalade you may know it as the Escalade and what folks from the other side of the tracks get to experience in the world of super luxury SUVs.
And we have today's news headlines, among other things.
So we've got lots to get to today on our live broadcast.
Howdy, along with Mike out of this World, Mars being Conrad DeLong.
We always need more.
Jeff Zekin, I'm Don Armstrong.
Thanks so much for joining us on this Saturday morning.
It is a bit chilly out there and I want to remind everybody that next week at this time we'll be broadcasting.
Well, not at this time, because we're going to have a delayed start to our broadcast next week to coincide with the opening of the Houston auto boat of show on Saturday.
So instead of being with you at 8 o'clock in the morning, we'll be with you at 10 o'clock in the morning.
We'll be on the show, the same three hour show, just a little bit delayed Time.
Delayed Time, delayed, yeah, on purpose.
So, at any rate, and if you haven't heard, auto Boat of Show opens Wednesday at 11 am.
Wednesday through Friday at 11 am to 8 pm, saturday 10 am to 8 pm and Sunday 10 am to 6 pm.
It's the Houston Auto Boat of Show at NRG Center.
It's the yearly new car show, if you will, along with boats.
I'm really not a boat guy.
I did own a boat at one time and, as they say, yes, it is a hole in the water that you pour money into and it never stops.
It's much worse than a car.
I had three boats, yeah, at the same time.
No, no.
Over my life I've had three of them that I actually owned and I have to.
I have to concur with you Did you ever go on a three hour tour?
I almost sunk once.
Yes, and his name was Gilligan.
No.
But at any rate, I had a catamaran.
Did you really Yep In New York?
No, this is in Oklahoma.
In Oklahoma there's no water in Oklahoma.
There's lots of lakes in Oklahoma.
Yeah, there really is.
Yeah, they're all dried up now, now we used to go down to Lake Texoma.
Oh, Texoma Right on Texas border, texas, oklahoma border.
Okay, well, there you go.
Where the name comes from.
I guess, so I don't visit the ports.
That's kind of home of the Dallas Cowboys, have you seen?
all of the hate and funny stuff on.
Facebook and Bob.
I like the interviewer Jerry Jones at Coyon.
Do you know that the Green Bay Packers have one more?
playoff games in that stadium than the Cowboys have.
By like two, I think I don't know it anyway.
So we've had our laugh, we've had our laugh.
And this afternoon at 330, you know the Houston Texans play the Baltimore Ravens go.
Texan yeah buddy, so we're kind of looking forward to that.
All right Now that we've got that out of the way, let's go over to our zoom call this morning Kevin Fitzpatrick with opus IVS.
Kevin, good morning to you.
It's good to see you, my friend.
Good morning.
Thanks for having me.
Thank you and um, Kevin.
First of all, what is opus IVS?
Opus IVS.
We're a we're a diagnostic and scanning companies, so we're working within the the mechanical and the collision side of the business.
So we're providing technicians with With both vehicle tools rather to diagnose vehicles on the mechanical side and also technical support.
So we maintain a number of technical supports.
That is, across the us with about a hundred master technicians and we're engaging those technicians with uh, with these repair shops, in order to to diagnose vehicles, because I mean, these things are so complex today that most, most technicians need to need that, that additional resource in order to get to the fix reasonably quickly.
Well, all I can think of is you must have a staff that's constantly working on On your program, because every new car is different in its own way.
That's exactly it.
We're always hiring and always bringing in new, new talent, but we're also always sending our guys back back for training.
I mean, it's a, it's a.
It's a constant battle to stay on top of this stuff.
How can diagnostic software help us save money?
Well, I mean because I mean honestly, like I mean again, when these cars were were, um, I'm going to say, less intelligent, um, the the technician had a real challenge, you know, chasing all this stuff down.
They needed, they needed, in fact, more tools.
They were, I mean, on top of vacuum and dying into the dialing, into basic engine.
I mean these cars are highly intuitive right now.
I mean we're talking about adding additional digits now to, to trouble codes, because there's literally a code for everything.
So when you drive a vehicle, I mean it's, uh, it's going to give a technician a, uh, a direction to go in.
Really, so, um, I mean, they're, they're, they're getting smarter.
Well, I have to tell you so, my 2001 Corvette, um, I guess in 2001 it was the latest state of the art when it come to when it comes to all the computer stuff.
It's back then.
It was yeah, back then, but uh, today, obviously things have advanced.
It's dumb as a box of rocks, pretty much, but it still can't run without its computer.
Oh true, so, um, there there is that, and I've I've actually kind of been thinking, just thinking about it.
You know that always gets me in trouble when I think I don't even know if you call that that's what we smell, that's right, the yes, the brain burning acidic odor.
Yeah, uh, I've been thinking.
You know, I don't think that that thing has ever been on a, on a dynamometer, I don't know, as if it's ever had you don't think Greg ever had that on.
I don't think so, and I would like to at some point, maybe in the next year, if I stopped buying other stuff for it, that, uh, that I put it on a dyno and have a dyno tune.
What is a dyno tune?
A?
dyno tune actually has been engaged, the rear wheel horsepower or the actual wheel horsepower of the of the vehicle.
So, and you know if you're talking about a gm, you know, and especially with an ls engine, I mean these things are highly you can tune them.
You can tune them by changing the pulse width to the, to the injectors, as it relates to the air, the air coming in, and you can get more horsepower out of them.
So a lot of guys are are tuning these things.
You have to be careful with your, with your state laws, because a lot of times you put yourself in jeopardy when you go for your, for your State inspection, because also times you won't pass post tune.
Yeah well, so I don't want to want to, I don't want to go that far with it.
Do I have to buy a quote unquote chip to put in it, to do a special tune In some?
cases yes, in other cases no.
But on the earlier vehicles, yeah, you do.
Okay, so I may have to buy a chip.
What are you gonna say?
No, I was gonna ask him.
So you go out and you get a dyno and you get it tuned and everything.
Now it comes to a shop.
Now a shop.
How are they going to deal with trying to repair his vehicle that has a special dyno tune on it?
Well, it depends on the issue.
I mean, if it's uh, if it's coming in for anything else, I mean, like, again, I'm one of one of the core companies that, uh, that did his office I vs.
We used that.
We used to specifically tune BMW vehicles so we used to build performance zones.
It was actually invisible to any other technician working on it.
If, if you are really good you, you could see that we were kind of manipulating, you know, the the on time of the injector versus certain other parameters in the engine.
But I mean, it would be almost impossible for anybody to see other than bfw Interesting and a lot of a lot of repair shops it it.
They don't do a lot of pcm reprogramming unless the code relates to a required pcm reprogram.
So you shouldn't lose your tune Just because it goes in the shop for a drivability complaint.
You know, nine times out of ten a drivability complaint is going to be built around an injector, a sensor or a coil or an ignition component.
You know, rarely is the Repair reprogramming the computer got you.
And another question you said you work on the collision side of things.
Do you do the recalibration for All of the cameras and sensors on cars?
We do we, we handle a lot of that stuff.
We're actually we've actually gotten really good at it.
We're still at trihedral kit, so we're able to work with technicians remotely, because remember where we have all of these technicians?
In remote call centers.
So we work with the technicians on the placement of the trihedral and then we're able to to put the, uh, the vehicle, into a calibration mode and actually make sure that it's it's accepting the, the calibration, and then at all of the sensors are working properly.
Yeah, because that's become something required anymore.
You know, you put a windshield in, you move a front bumper fascia, even if they take it off for something else.
You know, now, all of a sudden, all those recalibrations are required.
On the vehicle and the car doesn't automatically reboot itself and fix itself correct.
No, it's, it's you've got to.
On the windshield and the cameras it's kind of like target practice.
They'll place out some targets and stuff that it has to see at certain distances Interesting and it has to get all that calibration done correctly, or the system doesn't work or it starts turning on check engine lights.
Do you have any opportunity to do EVs with any electrical diagnosis?
Yeah, we do actually.
I mean we do we just it's kind of it was kind of tricky for us in the beginning because, as a when we're, when we're Remoting our support services, we require the, the shop or the technician that we're talking to on the other end of the phone to have a At least some degree of training, at least an eight hour course on safety, because the last thing we want to do putting somebody you know in proximity to to an EV, because I mean you can get, you can get hurt
, you can get killed working on one of these vehicles if you don't understand the safety precautions that need to be, that need to be adhered to.
Yeah, and, and all of the manufacturers offer that.
Basically, it is an eight hour safety course.
To make sure that they understand that first off is you have to protect the area You're working in as well as you have to wear a specific set of gloves.
Those gloves either have to get tested every so often or replaced every so often so that the electricity doesn't pass through it, otherwise, you know, you become toast.
That's exactly it, you know, and just real quick.
Going back to the 8-os, the 8-os question, you know it's.
It's, it's an industry issue right now where a vehicle goes into a repair shop and this is a pretty common repair your, your vehicles, somebody smacks your side.
You mirror Some of the, some of the sensors are in that side view mirror.
So if they go into the average repair shop, I've you be ready to place now the customers driving the car, the calibration now, the recalibration as a meant performed on the vehicle, right, there's not going to be a check engine light to tell our light on the dashboard to tell a customer that that vehicle is out of calibration.
It is going to act differently now in the, in the case of a Dynamic calibration, as the customer drives, it's going to, it's going to start learning, it's going to use its other sensors and it's going to start learning over time.
But initially, as a customer is driving that vehicle, lane departure and everything else, it's it's, you know, side effect, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna take a little while for that car to start acting the way it was Before the customer have the issue with this side view mirror.
Kevin does, does.
Does your your system there at Opus IVs?
Is it capable of turning off the lane departure?
That's the most annoying thing.
I have ever dealt with, and now I'm driving cars that if you turn it off it's got a yellow light in the dashboard says you've turned it off.
I know I turned it off.
I turned it off on purpose, yeah, I mean honestly, yeah, we, we replicate factory functionality so you can do it and a lot of these things are.
You can tell her, because some of the stuff some customers want, some don't someone at the beat, some just want a light on the side, so a lot of these systems are configurable.
So, yeah, so, by the way, my wife and my daughter's car, I mean I have more bells and whistles in these things.
I mean you, yeah, I want, I want to call on just yeah for them.
I don't want it on for me big big can.
a customer don comes in there and says I Want you to turn my lane departure warning off, can you?
I know physically you can do it, but From a shop business perspective legally can you do that?
Negative.
No, you can't turn it off completely, but what you can do is you can figure of, like I said, like sounds, if you know.
I just want the light on, I just want, I want okay, I want.
I want the auto piece off the safety systems of their Sure you don't want to be the guy to turn it off because God forbid.
There is an issue with the vehicle, right?
That's what I was thinking.
Yeah what off they go get the Rick and who they come into.
I'm thinking a good pair of side cutters will do just fine.
I'll get under there and find that dang thing.
Yeah, one of the things Don does like is the haptic seat.
He likes that vibrating seat.
Something goes wrong, yeah and, by the way, there is precedent on exactly what I'm, exactly what you're mentioning.
I mean, they're all going back to some of these shops.
I mean somebody rewires a you know a seat map where a passenger passenger and they don't do it properly.
So there's a child in the front seat and that airbag actually deploys or does not deploy.
They're going back to the shop that they've done.
Or is precedent on on exactly that?
So you need to be careful.
You always have to be careful, whether or not you want to get involved, and if you go to save a customer a few bucks by by Fixing something that probably should be replaced, you have to think twice well, yeah, the also the old days of you know my wife ripped the mirror off, backing out of the garage are gone, because you can't just go to the Salvage yard and buy a new mirror and put it on.
You can go to a salvage yard and buy a new mirror, but it's going to take you to $300 to get it all recalibrated so that the car knows that the mirrors there and all the safety systems are Reengaged just because she clipped it on the garage on the way out.
That's one of the one of the days of buying the replacement glass down at your local.
You know advanced auto parts With the mirror back into the old, the mirror shell, right exactly.
I guess you can't do that anymore.
Get a hand mirror and just got the handle stick.
And turn it over, for the objects in the mirror are closer than they then they appear yeah, right.
All right.
So let's talk just for a second, kevin, and talk about what car insurance companies give you to get your discount.
That basically, it's a little spy computer that they plug into your car.
Okay, so let's talk about that.
I'm gonna be very, very careful here, because I like to be friends with everybody who wants to be insurance company.
So you put this thing into your car and they say, hey, we're gonna give you a discount if you put this thing in your car.
It's the safe drivers right, yeah, but what if you're not a safe driver?
Right, what if you're the guy?
Right, that goes, you know what I mean.
You like to every day.
Every day, you're trying to set the world record for the speed trials and get to work, right, I'm pretty sure, and I don't have any doubt about this, though, but what I'm pretty sure is, what they're not telling you is, if you're not a safe driver, right, as you're out there setting speed trials every day that there might be a different result on your look.
Yeah.
So if you do that, you make that mistake and you know you're doing 85 on the tollway every stinkin morning they go, we're gonna cut you off.
We don't want to have your business any longer.
Do the insurance companies talk to each other?
Do they go?
This guy we cut him off because he's doing 85 on the way to work every day.
It's like casinos.
Yeah, I think, yeah, I'd like to listen.
Your record follows you everywhere, right?
I mean they used to have when I was a kid.
I did, I did wind up.
I mean, like I said, like most of us, when we're especially young men.
And there's a reason why young men under 25 pay higher rates for their insurance right, because we can't wait to get our licenses.
And there's a reason why, right, we all love the Dukes of Hazard and we want to see exactly what this car is capable of and we're fearless.
You know, we don't know what we don't know Right exactly.
We want to take every vehicle and test the limits of the vehicle and then you know that's and they're cognizant.
One thing they're always looking for a bottle with these devices is you're breaking right?
Are you always breaking?
You know what I mean?
You're going from 100 to zero and it's not a regular insurance for you, right?
Yeah, like you're following too close.
But I was saying I mean that's kind of obvious.
You know you can't argue with that too much, but I was thinking more about freeway entrance ramps.
Mike, of course you were.
Yeah, I mean Mike, you know who's choices?
It's a new car to drive every week, a different one from out of the press fleet.
And part of what Mike does not me, he does this freeway entrance ramp test to see you know the acceleration and you gotta merge you gotta check out the merge capabilities, that sort of stuff, the on ramp acceleration test how sticky are those tires?
Yeah, exactly, you know, trust me, they.
You know the people they want putting these devices in the car.
The guy they're looking for again cars on the table.
The guy they're looking for is the guy that's pissing everybody else off.
Oh, that guy.
Yeah, we know who he is there, he is right there.
So are the devices they're putting on the vehicle.
Is it an ALDL plug-in, which is the diagnostic connector plug-in, or is it a combination of an ALDL plug-in and a GPS sensor so they can measure time, distance and speed?
I can't speak specifically about the GPS piece, but it does plug directly into the 16, into the 16 pin, the connector, you know, and they're pulling, you know, I'm not sure, I'm not sure what, what you know, what their, their terms, you can just put there, pulling all sorts of information.
There's all sorts of information there for them to pull.
Oh yeah, well, and let me just give you just you know, maybe this would be a good sales thing for you and you could start selling part of your services to the insurance company.
since you're plugging into the same thing, well, let's listen let's, let's be honest, okay, I mean, and let's let's not be naive about what's really going on in the world.
Right, every one of us, when we're driving, we have a device either on our pocket or sitting on the on the yep Next to us.
That cell phone is picking up all the same data.
It knows how fast you're going, it knows exactly where you're going, how fast it took you to get from point A to point B, and All of that data is is being sold and marketed.
So, siri has everything and it knows what you're saying, sometimes because it's oh my god, here, hold my beer.
You haven't seen anything yet.
So all I can think of is that is that, from now on, turn your cell phone off when you get in the car.
Yeah, well, I mean, and that's the thing.
So, whether or not you're plugging in something to your, to your a OV, or not, we have Information is readily available.
We've all, we've all clicked past.
We won't, like I said, all of that data is and and on.
Star has been collecting that data for years.
That's correct.
And, like I said, and if you asked me what all of these you know again, how much of my dad's for fail.
What are they picking up?
What are they collecting?
There's no, there's no such thing as a free lunch, download a free game.
What you're giving away, that online is Exactly that's.
That's a scary thing really.
Yeah, it's time to think about it.
And all these press cars, all the brand new press cars that we drive, they know how fast we're going.
Yes, they do.
It says over there we are downloading all this stuff, so let's slow it down, kevin.
We always enjoy talking to you.
It's a real pleasure.
Opus IVS and if you want more information, I assume that you have a website that people can get it opus IVScom.
Yeah, we just want to do it, so please come in, take a look.
Always appreciate talking to you guys.
Thank you again for having you stay warm up there.
Thank you again, guys, thank you.
Kevin Fitzpatrick a great guy, I love talking to you every day.
You know if you stop and think about it.
And he's so true this cell phone Knows Every dangerous yeah yeah, you just, you just try not to think about it that Alexa is everywhere with you.
Alexa or Siri, one Well it's kind of like your wife they know all kinds of things.
You don't know that they know, but they know they know, I don't want them to know.
Yeah, okay, time now for this hour's car review.
Had a chance to drive the all-new 2024 Cadillac Escalade.
I like to call it the Escalade because I'm me.
That's the only reason why available trim levels and I was kind of surprised at this.
I did not know.
This comes in luxury, premium luxury, sport, premium luxury, platinum, sport, platinum and V.
Yeah that's the high horsepower supercharged motor.
In that bet you, I had the four-wheel drive.
Platinum, okay, standard SUV is what the government labels it.
As I call it, mr Bi G.
Yeah, the big honking horse.
How many passengers?
Seven or eight, depending on how you figure slice them, on how how you configure the second row seat Is it gonna be a bench or you're gonna have the buckets?
Perfect, but I prefer the buckets.
Exterior changes from last model year all new in 2021.
Oh, there's a tweak here, a tweak there, to make it a little bit different and charge you a little bit more money, but or a lot more money, whatever the case may be.
Exterior features this is a great big rectangle in the shape of a four-wheel drive passenger vehicle.
It's big man.
If you, if you set these Body styles, the new body styles this one came out in 2021 you set it up next to a 10 year old, 15 year old suburban, you're gonna go.
Oh my gosh, I had no clue how it's grown.
Mm-hmm, it is swelled up to enormous sizes.
Big grill opening with those squinty headlights and it looks good that.
That.
That front end is very distinctive, very Cadillac-y extra tall tail lights that reach the roof all the way up to the roof, that those rear tail lights, interesting wheels and trim Change with the trim level that you purchase.
That's how they kind of distinguish themselves amongst all of them.
As I told you, there are lots of trim levels available for you.
What I liked?
Distinctively large vehicle with unique Cadillac styling cues, what could use improvement, I Would say make the design more lyric.
Like you that if I were just to throw something out, I agree, I would say because that lyric, yeah, and it's not as the lyrics not as angular.
It seems like they've kind of smoothed it out a little bit.
But yeah, they spend.
Mine.
That's angular thing has been a Cadillac style for a number of years.
That's a design concept that they've stayed with.
Yeah, it's done them well and and they've kept it on the escalator compare.
Cadillac with Lincoln right, because that those, those were the two main US players.
Well, lincoln, what have they got?
three old school Design and the and the Cadillac style does vary Significantly from the sister vehicles of the, the Chevy and GMC.
The Cadillac you can tell that's a Cadillac coming down.
No doubt about it.
Yeah, absolutely.
Interior highlights layered instrument screen in front of an infotainment screen is the, the actual instrumentation for the car.
A full wood trim that looks real, with Accessory controls around the driver, rich leather surfaces and massaging comfortable seating.
Tons of powered connections throughout the cabinet, cabinet, cabin, cargo, trunk room, massive with the third row seating folded down.
What I liked.
The handiness of its size.
Next size up would be a school bus.
What would use improvement kitchen sink perhaps?
Maybe throw that in there.
Turn signal indicator in the HHUD, the head up display.
It is not not in there.
So if you use the turn signal and you got the head up display on, you ain't gonna see the turn signal in there.
Struggle, none City, 14 miles per gallon highway, 18 miles per gallon for combined to 16.
I got 16.5
over 368.1
miles.
What I liked about it plenty of power.
What could use improvement weight reduction.
It's 18 feet long and weighs 5,635.0
pounds.
That's a lot, brother, you know cars 30 3,000 to 3,500 pounds, almost twice the weight of a car.
What I liked about the handling, the ride, the smoothness of that.
Air suspension don't touch it.
It's wonderful.
Base trim price 113,695 dollars.
Prices tested 121,315 dollars.
Base model price this is kind of surprising.
79,295 dollars Yep, go try to find one of those.
You're not gonna find it.
Competitors Land Rover, range Rover Sport 85,075 dollars.
Bmw X7 81,900 dollars.
The Mercedes Benz GLS $87,000, just to just to throw this out there, the Chevy Suburban high country, which is the top of the line, starts at 81,895 dollars.
That's a lot, it's a lot.
You said air suspension.
This has got the electromagnetic ride correct.
No, this is air suspension.
This is air suspension.
Yeah, yeah, there, there that's available.
So still thought that out there.
All right, that's the review of the Cadillac Escalade.
