If NCS Expert and the like are just looking for a serial port in order to be able to establish a connection to the car - Carly might work as long as whatever BluTooth stack on your PC is compatible. We'll see
From my chats with the Carly folks, their dongle is designed specifically for the Carly App. That implies that it will be looking for a specific handshake and protocol from Carly. There are other "generic" OBDII BT dongles that may work with something other than Carly, though. I'll be interested to see if NCSExpert or E-Sys can connect and communicate with the modules using the Carly adapter.
