I currently have the OBD-II UART (WIG-09555) with the FTDI Basic Breakout - 5V (DEV-09716) to connect to my laptop using FORScan. FORScan has an option to connect to code reader that’s on the same sub net, using an ip address etc. I’m wondering if its possible to add a Wifi module to the WIG-09555, assuming you use the serial connection that FTDI uses. And if possible can both the FTDI and Wifi module be both hooked to the serial connection, doesn’t bother me if I have to switch the power to them in-order to do so.
Thanks!

It’s possible you could do this, you’d need some sort of WiFi to serial bridge setup for it to work. An ESP8266 might do the trick but it would need to be configured properly ahead of time.

No, you can use one or the other, but can’t have both connected at the same time or you will run into bus contention issues that could damage something.
