Be cautious with cheaper, non-branded OBD2 ELM327 adapters from sources like eBay or Amazon, especially those marked as v.2.1, as they may have numerous bugs.

**Important Note**: The capabilities of Car Scanner are contingent on the sensors supported by your vehicle's ECU. The app can only display data that your car's system makes available.
