Presumably the more recent "850 OBD-II" versions also have the ability to control the radiator fan on 96-98 850/SVC70 with M44.
I got this app a while back, and I was having issues testing the fan with it. I messaged the developer and he was able to fix that in an update. I was able to test both speeds of my fan, and it turned out I had the wires reversed (pig tail broke apart a long time ago).

Much easier setup than Volvo 850 diag, and it's a very useful app for '96-'98 P80s.

Thanks for the info. OBD II over Bluetooth is awesome.
