It's no possible to have such a bitrate through any standard driver. Those old car service apps tweak the UART hardware heavily to output that signalling. It literally needs a 8250 chip. May even fail with some SuperIO "16550" emulations in current mainboards. Newer cars have CAN, but these K-Line cars (up to model year 2005 I think) can give you headaches.
