Default bluetooth scan tool on 95

Is it possible to have a blue tooth scan tool/reader on the 95 corvette. Has anyone successfully done this with their car?

Thank you

If you can find one that fits your ALDL connector then it will work. It's basically just a "wireless cable", so no problem.

[ EDIT ] I should have stated that the cable needs to be compatible with the connector pinout. [ /EDIT ]

It's the scanning software that makes it work. How it connects to the car doesn't matter.

It will work just fine. Make sure you get an an OBD1 adapter from 1320 Electronics or Red Devil River. Let them know that you have an OBD2 style connector. The ELM 327 OBD2 dongles won't work on these cars. The data is on different pins and of a different protocol. If you hook up an OBD2 dongle, it will power up but never connect. The ALDLDroid app works with both adapters. The ALDL Scan app only works with the 1320 Electronics adapter. Cool picture of the H-60!

Just so you are aware, I was advised by one of the Bluetooth adapter manufacturers that flashing an ECM on a 1994 or 1995 using a Bluetooth connector can be problematic. Something about different baud rates.
