Original CA OBD2 design included radio system to communicate with dealer diagnostic computers & CA EPA, perhaps also with state police and ?? In 1996 OBD2 became standard in US cars without antennas. Did OBD3 sneak in? Now we have AM-FM-satellite radios integrated with body controller and drive train controllers, why should we think no transmitter is included? It would be simpler to put a GPS receiver & cellular transceiver in your rear view mirror for agency use.
