[Ovmsdev] Sport vs Non-Sport in VIN

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Tom,

We haven't found firmware version on the bus yet. It must be there (as it is visible on the vds), just not gone looking too hard yet.

Anyone know how to tell a 2.5 from a 2.0? [ P.S. The answer is not "look at the front of the car" ]

Regards, Mark.
