What happens if I plug the device into a different vehicle?

If you're using a ShadowAuto (OBD) device, you can freely plug it into any vehicle with an OBD port. Once connected, the device will automatically try to read the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) from the new vehicle.

If the VIN can't be fetched, you’ll have the option to add the vehicle manually. After it's added to your Garage (Library), the next time you plug the device into this vehicle, it will automatically recognize and link the data to it.

This makes switching vehicles seamless and efficient — ideal if you use the device across multiple vehicles.
