Now my truck won't even turn on. Worked before then plugged this in and all power went off and it won't even turn on. Things shouldn't be so complicated. They made it sound so easy and well.When I turned it on, it was so complicated, no idea what to do. I was just trying to clear my particle filter on my eco diesel.

Doesn't actually read the correct PID for my mass air flow sensor (with respect to fuel calculations). I get valid data from the sensor, have no means to tell the app to use that one for it. I have to use intake manifold pressure method instead, which relies on knowing the volumetric efficiency of my engine. This data is not available, and the default is clearly wrong because of a large mismatch between the app and my car's own mileage data. You also can't input formulas for dashboard items.
