Highland_laddie Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Anyone know whether the automotive i.e. not stuff required to support military equipment (radios?) complies with the OBDII standard. I understood the ones being released were a lower grade militarised version using a lot of civilian components. I know generic OBDII readers can only go so far but would this work?
