A elm327 module will speak to cell or app

The software is as important as the hardware they read (pids) some call them cel or dtcs some require software purchases to open full or they limit your features working wirelessly you have to calculate Lag time in Ms milli seconds but allows you to monitor the primary computer of vehicle. like any processor when memory is wrote into and logs made this will allow you to read the info for under 20 for a cheap plug and software depends on your devices os or iOS. Security and other systems have other devices or pin reset plugs to short to clear. Obd systems are usually regulated to under the drive plastic but can be left or right of steering wheel.

Did you buy some type of rust proofing that supposedly uses electricity? I think it's snake oil they usually sell in Canada.

Yeah, that thing is registering on my bullshit detector. Pull it.

And thanks Madd Dog for a coherent post. Lots of word salad in this thread.

Yep. That's what it is - snake oil. You have zero idea what information that is collecting.
