### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-05-24, version 2.9.1*

They said pay once and have a lifetime access.  Now they want me to pay again or upgrade to the pro version.  Same car I initially paired whit the unit.  Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Terrible support

*2025-12-12, version 2.9.1*

Purchased a Bluetooth Obd2 reader a while back ABBA haven’t needed it in a while. Went to use it a couple weeks ago  it wouldn’t let me connect saying I needed to purchase something but my app shows that I have one available VIN left of the three it originally said I could use. Reached out to support TWICE and no response. Save your money and buy something better that distant falsely advertise licensing!
