        Gps is a standard, anyone can do it. ODB2 is a mishmash of vendor spesific magic dust, and trap doors. It is impressive if you find a device that handles any car.

          The basic ODB2 stuff – which includes the speed readout – is a standard mandated by the government. It’s stuff like being able to talk to other modules over CANBUS that’s manufacturer-specific.
