Different qeustion, could a bluetooth obd connector keep the BCU or LSM alive? I forgot to check that one and it just pops in my head.
What I would say is if it is Bluetooth type OBD device it will constantly pull power to broadcast a signal. Whether that will drain the battery depends on how often you drive it I guess. Funny enough I came across this on a smart car a while back but the owner wasn’t using the car often.
