ELM 327 For Proxy

Hi Guys

I am considering getting the paid version and using the leads in the link below to get rid of my flashing mileage

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Diagnostics-Italian-Cars-Fiat-Alfa-ELM-OBD2-cables-adapters-MULTIECUSCAN/281712496622

It started flashing after I replaced the airbag module last week, the airbag lights have all gone out and no errors anymore, but now the flashing Mileage!

So I assume a Proxi Alignment will solve this now?

Question is this statement I found regarding the ELM 327 not being suitable for a Proxi reset?

Bluetooth OBDKey, ELM 327 and OBDLink interfaces are fully supported but not recommended for special functions (like PROXI Alignment, remote control programming, IMA coding, etc.)!

Can anyone confirm I can actually perform this Proxi (and it will work) using the leads and the paid version of the software, or do I need something else?

Thanks :D

For such critical operations it's better to use USB adapters. In case of any connection problems through BT you might end up seriously damaging or bricking ecu. I think adapters through wifi work but maybe someone else say more about them, as I have not used them.

Hi

I am not planning on using Bluetooth, or WiFi to connect, just the normal wired connection.

My questions is would I need the adapters for the Proxi Reset, or does the ELM just connect and do the job without the connectors?

I think I may need the Yellow adapter, as it is used for CAN but I just need some confirmation before I end up buying things I do not need for the Proxi ;)

which adapter to use for what car is described here: https://www.multiecuscan.net/SupportedVehiclesList.aspx
