True. I haven’t checked the wire to see if it’s getting ripped by the metal. I’m not too worried about it since I hardly ever use the JB4 app (I have the Bluetooth module too).

My main worry was shorting a wire connected to the OBDII port which is connected to the CANBUS, and you could see how that could go downhill quickly.
