I can recommend the FIXD adapter if you will use it with the free version of the FIXD app. The premium version of their app doesn’t seem to be worth purchasing as most of the PRO features can be replaced with Free chatGPT.

FIXD sensor overview
I recommend getting this FIXD sensor, but only to use with their free app + Car Scanner ELM OBD2 app.
I am not recommending purchasing their premium subscription program since most of the premium functions can be substituted with chatGPT for free.

Conclusion: Fixd adapter, YES, pro plan, NO
The adapter is fine to use with FIXD free and even connects to other OBD2 apps, but don’t buy their premium subscription. Is quite pricey and it doesnt do anything special honestly.
