What make and model is your vehicle? If it's newer than the mid 2000's it can probably talk to the internet.

My vehicle is ODB-II and can not talk to the internet. I was part of the OBD-III debates.

I'm sure you're aware of this, but for others, the ODB-II port generally connects to completely insecure internal networks - so anything that physically connects to it may compromise it.

Yup, and some insurance companies are convincing people to connect a cell phone fob to their OBD-II in exchange for lower insurance rates. In exchange, they have access to your cars computer, GPS coordinates, basically anything you do, they track. That also puts your CANBUS on their network.

It seems OBD-III was never implemented.
