ELM Electronics recently released ELM327 v2.1 chip. In contrast to 2.0, that has no significant advantages against v1.4 (from FORScan's point of view), v2.1 contains quite important feature for CAN. In the meantime, we got a request about support it in FORScan. We have decided to buy a couple of devices and test them. Typed "ELM327 v2.1" in google and got list of links. We have ordered the device from the top of the list and as a result, we got this adapter:

Note that the description page has reference to v2.1 in bold.
Of course, it is just another china clone and ATI command returns ELM327 v1.5. If you ask seller about it, they will answer that the device has "v1.5 firmware and v2.1 software", meaning that ELM327 v1.5 is distributed with ScanMaster-ELM v2.1. In other words, it is simply a cheat.
Does anyone know where to purchase good board with ELM327 v2.1 inside?
