Future endeavors (at this point) are expected to be:
- Providing various communication interfaces (physical) such as WiFi and USB in addition to the existing bluetooth interface.
- Providing various open source hardware setups such as arduino and raspberry pi RS232 to OBDII interpreters
- Providing a SMS mode for remote diagnostic sessions with Scandroid compatible vehicles from all around the world.
- To obtain various manufacturer specific information, specifications, procedures, and other functionality and make it available for the public for free.
