Package: scantool Version: 1.21+dfsg-1 Severity: important The program detects that I have a low cost ELM327 interface. It informs me that they have chosen not to support this interface because of "support problems" Instead the program gives the address of the website where the program writers more expensive version of the OBDII protocol interface can be purchased. The interface works fine using windows versions of the program. I feel the intentional blocking of cheaper interfaces to maximise the profit of the manufacturer of the program is against the spirit of Debian and free software.
