This product works as a vehicle
OBD-II data bridge for Arduino, providing OBD-II data access with
Arduino library as well as power supply (converted and regulated from OBD-II port) for Arduino and its attached devices.
The adapter plugs into the OBD port usually located under the steering column or slightly to the left of it. To check if your vehicle is OBD-II certified, open your hood and find the sticker that looks like this:
Vehicles using following vehicle protocols are supported.
CAN 500Kbps/11bit
CAN 250Kbps/11bit
CAN 500Kbps/29bit
CAN 250Kbps/29bit
