<div dir="ltr">Hi Jim,<br><br>I haven't heard of any reports of them damaging the car... the most common complaint was that it isn't an official ELM chip, but a clone which surprise surprise is buggy as all hell. Let us know how you go with that for its a good price.. if it works :P <br>

<br>
I've just ordered an OBDII-Bluetooth scanner from <a href="http://www.tmart.com" target="_blank">www.tmart.com</a> for about $12 (marked down from $45???). It's labelled ELM327 and has a blue and orange label. The object is to use it as input to a decent car computer that I want to develop.<br>
<br>
Is there a risk that plugging it in will damage my car? The only cautions I've seen so far regarding the various models of scanners is that some do not handle all protocols.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Jim<br>
