OBD ports were not designed as IO ports. OBD plugins can cause parasitic draws, fires and fry the ECU.

    Huge portions of the auto industry use them as such, including rental companies and insurance carriers.

    I think I'll take the actions of the people who actually pay money based on those consequences rather than a rando on the internet.

    I mean that's exactly why I don't use these devices. ODB port is not designed to be used for extended periods of time. I've had them fail on me before. It's a diagnostic port not a USB port. There are a lot of things connecting to the bus already.
