From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am using a simple application named "Car Scanner", on my phone, it connects via bluetooth to the $4 OBD2 dongle, and it works in Android Auto, can display all kind of info on the multimedia screen.
Right, but that dongle is connected to the CAN bus directly right? I was wondering what is accessible over just the smartphone integrations (CarPlay and Android Auto).
Hopefully not much.
I guess nothing is accessible directly
