September 2, 2018, to be exact:
Not that I need you to believe me. I bought it. I have it. I've used it
for years with multiple cars and Apple devices without issue. It's a
great little OBD2 adapter that I will continue to use, happily. And
what some rando on the net has to say about it won't change a thing.
And of course as usual, Arlen (aka: Robin Goodfellow and a slew of other
nyms here) is a complete know-nothing loser and fool whose entire life
is spent trolling. : )
