I just found out today that I can borrow an OBD2 from my public library.
Also, a thermal imaging camera, binoculars, access to a 3d printer, send wireless printing from your home computer, hiking backpack, board games, etc.
The 3D printer could be useful for customized additions to your car.
Check out your public library. They seem to have upped their game.
Their recent newsletter said that they "don't only lend books".
Forgot to mention you can borrow Chromebooks and wireless hotspots (they come with their own cellular connection).
The hotspots would be great for road trips. But they need to be plugged into an AC outlet. I don't think the NX 350h has one.
Actually, the plug is only to charge the battery. It doesn't need to constantly be plugged in.

You can borrow a lighter plug inverter for AC 😁. Or just buy from walmart, they are under $30. Like Stanley PCI140 140 W - no noisy fan unlike a bit cheaper ones. 140 W is enough for hotspot and phone charging. Not enough for running more powerful gaming laptop, just charging when turned off.
For more AC power you would need direct 12 V battery connection.

I just emailed the library an amazon link suggesting that they buy the Stanley inverter. It's going to be crazy if they actually buy them, lol.
