[Ovmsdev] DIAG port to bluetooth

[Giannis Bakas]

Thank you Mark for your quick reply,

I have made a connection (SPP) with a bluetooth connected to my PC from 
parrot and seems
to work fine.

My question was if DIAG port would work with a bluetooth serial adapter. 
And working on DIAG
MODE I can send SMS or MSG commands to get data like SOC, speed, gps 
position.

Cheers Giannis
