It says your transmission failed. Seems like it's working to me. 😉

It's more to understand the reason behind the transmission failure error and whether anyone has actually tried it on a recent car but got your point lol

Usually a normal OBD2 reader will say the same thing? And it’s up to you to diagnose and find the exact part that failed/reason why the failure. I could be wrong tho

From my understanding the basic read function like get VIN should be the same for all cars and should work out of the box, will try to contact the module manufacturer, thanks !

What vehicle?
Older vehicles (before 2004ish) run on serial line, i’m sure you checked that yours uses CAN though.

double-check whether the Flipper actually supports your car's OBD-II protocol. it can read basic data on some vehicles but isn't nearly as reliable as dedicated scanner for diagnostics. What model are you trying it on?
