I lucked out. My cheap eBay knock-off purchased 5+ years ago passed all but the v2.3 tests - which makes sense since that was released only 3-4 years ago.


My device has an an arbitrary MAC address, which can be an easy way to spot an imposter (as opposed to 11:22:33:aa:bb:cc or similar). But it does report as an ELM v1.5 device, which was never actually released by ELM.

Does your adapter have 1 or 2 pcbs ?
