Had to use genuine ELM327. Then it worked.

I hope other people read your reply and success.

I'm not trying to do anyone out there in the OBD ELM/other out of business or an injustice but when it comes to MES then all the MES recommended suppliers offer fully working hardware solutions that work with MES and on Fiat/Alfa/Jeep/Lancia/.... cars. Other sources also supply hardware that works but as yet nobody has built a definitive list of these suppliers.
