If you're not seeing many (25+) active on your car, it's probably because your car doesn't support reading those in the same place the script is looking for them.

Volvo are great cars, but they're known for tweaking and customizing everything... including OBDII codes. smart does that too, but still accepts most of the older commands as well. The down-side for me is that lots of the "warning" codes show up as errors in pyOBD, and have no description, since they're manufacturer custom. I have an excel sheet somewhere with those though, and will add them (& upload them?) onceI find that again. It's on one of those thumbdrives... in that box over there... I think.
I am talking about the oldest version of carman which was running on nokia 770 and it's for OS 2006 and not the version of carman which was ported for N900 too. That old version was reading maybe more than 100 sensors.
I still have it on my Nokia 770 and I can make a video to show how it works and what sensors it reads and almost all work for my car.
