BT would not be for the flashing. Just to send/receive commands between the hardware agent and phone app. The hardware agent would still use it's OBDII cable for the flashing to the car since my understanding is that the maps are stored on the agent and not the phone. BT should have more than enough bandwidth to capture data for gauges and logs.

Do you leave your hotspot on 24/7 or just turn it on when you get in the car?
