Trust me you get what you pay for!

How many times have you heard the phrase "You get what you pay for" you can totally believe it with this product. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger R/T and need more information about the car, so I decided to search for a Bluetooth interface to display on my Galaxy S5. I chose this one because it claims to be compatible with the Torque app I downloaded. I've read reviews and a lot of them said something along the lines of "you get what you pay for" so I can't stress this product enough. After plugging it into the car, downloading the app and plugging it in, I selected the watch faces I needed and started testing. My car soon started throwing a traction control system error code. The app also showed MPGs that didn't even come close to reality. When the car indicated I was getting about 28mpg on a cruise, the app showed me I was getting between 11 and 13. I unplugged it and the code disappeared. I've decided I wasted my money. Sending it back just isn't worth the hassle for me, so hopefully I can stop someone else from making the same mistake. This is definitely a case where the principle "you get what you pay for" absolutely applies.

Pros
