Honestly, kind of worried about items within $10, even free shipping… I believe it’s risky to do so. And now, alarm free 😀

my model:

i used:

SAMSUNG Android

ELM327 interface for $7.99

First, plug in ELM327 under the dash on the drivers side

pair it with my SAMSUNG phone

Pairing is very simple… The phone will search for the unit.. Then when it finds it, press it and start the pairing process.

start the APP

So, it seems that i worried about it too much. Received the ELM327 unit for 2 weeks and no issues so far. Cheap things cannot stand for bad quality. Biased opinion should be get rid of!!
