![]() I bought 10 different ones when I was making my Honda OBD2 tuning software to try with it. Thats still not a 100% way to identify them tho since there is 1 in particular that they did a really good job on hiding that its a fake. Then if its reporting thats its a version number thats ment to be legit (1.3/1.4/2.2), The clones are using the same old orignal source code that doesnt support all the commands (Specifically flash and Vin number stuff) so you just need to try send it some of the later version commands and if it reports a "Buffer Overflow" or a "STOP" then its a fake. There is a list of versions that are all obvious fakes so thats the first bit I use to identify them.ฤก.5/1.8/2.1 all being fakes since there never was a genuine one with that version number so they are all using that same 1.0 source code. ![]() So ELM 1.0 are all real even the chinese ones since thats the code they are using that was stolen. Im sure you know the story of how the chinese clones came about with the orignal elm not locking the chip from read access and its source code getting pulled off the chip. BTW, I will send you a box for free, just need the shipping cost covered, let's talk off line. ![]() ![]() It does work with another scan tool I have though, so somehow I just did not get it right yet. I bought 3 different adapters when I made the support for OBD2 RPM, but one of them I just could not get to work (version 2.1, which I read is crap). Bmgjet, I would be interested to see how you identify the genuine OBD2 adapters.
