<h1>Buying a 2G V2 DSMLink package</h1> <div class="level1"> <p> We're getting more and more of these lately, so I've decided to clarify the issue here. </p> <p> When you buy a used 2G V2 DSMLink package, the seller <b>MUST</b> include the OBD2 adapter and it <b>MUST</b> be one of our original OBD2 adapters. Check below for a sample picture of this adapter. You can see some counterfeit copies on our <a href="/wiki/doku.php?id=counterfeitcopies" class="wikilink1" title="counterfeitcopies">counterfeit page</a>. </p> <p> <a href="/wiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?tok=22bcee&media=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ecmtuning.com%2Fimages%2Fforums%2Fouradapter.gif" class="media" title="http://www.ecmtuning.com/images/forums/ouradapter.gif"><img src="/wiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?tok=22bcee&media=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ecmtuning.com%2Fimages%2Fforums%2Fouradapter.gif" class="media" title="Our adapter" alt="Our adapter" /></a> </p> <p> People have been making copies of our old 2G V2 chips and then selling their car with that copied chip in it and telling the new owners they can "just get a new cable" when they can not! </p> <p> We do not sell replacement 2G V2 adapters because the adapter <b><u>IS</u></b> the 2G V2 DSMLink package. There is nothing else in the 2G V2 package to call "DSMLink". </p> <p> The chip is easily copied and we know people are even copying our label. So having an ECU with what appears to be our chip inside doesn't mean anything. The only physical piece of the older 2G V2 packages we can call "ours" is the OBD2 adapter. </p> <p> So far, the lazy scumbags that are copying our chips haven't figure out how to duplicate the adapter. So that's the piece you have to get in order to claim you have a DSMLink package. </p> <p> We tried to document this in multiple places, including right on our home page. But people are still getting duped. <u>Please</u> do not buy a 2G V2 DSMLink package without confirming that you will receive the required 2G V2 OBD2 adapter as well. </p> </div>
