### 1/5 — It shouldn’t be here

*2021-10-10, version 3.3*

It can’t decode the VIN from my car, information doesn’t carry anywhere. Not easy to find info, and if you find something is not what you think it is. The codes are all wrong.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2014-09-12, version 2.0.1*

Not sure what codes they are using, but wherever they came from they don't reflect anything coming out of my car
