It is better to use adapters V1.5, to V2.1 a lot of complaints about incorrect work.

The list of models and parameters will be updated...

Not all PIDs from the list for a certain car brand can be supported by your car, for convenience you can select the types of the required PIDs in the "Settings / PID types"

For certain brands of cars (currently some Mitsubishi models), have the ability to control various systems (turn on a cooling fan, a gasoline pump, etc.)

To read the MUT parameters and control the actuators on Mitsubishi models with CAN bus(Montero/Pajero IV, Outlander 2, etc.), you need to create a profile with the ISO 9141-2 protocol, and in the remaining profiles (for reading CAN parameters) leave the protocol ISO 15765-4 CAN (11bit 500K) or automatically.
Not all Mitsubishi CAN-bus models support ISO 9141-2 connectivity.

So there are ample opportunities for creating your own parameters.
