The OBD "diagnostics" is just that - diagnostics. It uses a different app and requires a BT OBD adapter to be plugged into the 16-pin ODB port on the car.

They are very different things and have little (if any) cross-over.
Thank you for the comparison between the two. That was what I wanted to know. So I guess Ill have to go with the ibus as well if I want to keep those factory functions. Ok I think I got a general idea of everything just got to start purchasing some of the things and start to get on it.
