Expert guidance for Android OBD2 / ELM327 development — protocol initialization, PID polling, vehicle data parsing, adapter quirks, transport quirks, and Android Auto integration. Use this skill whenever the user is working with OBD2 data, ELM327 commands, AT command sequences, PID requests, DTC reading, vehicle protocol detection, 0100 probe behavior, ELM327 prompt handling, ATSP0, ATZ, ATE0, ATL0, ATH0, ATAT1, vehicle bus initialization failures, adapter init timeouts, classic OBD socket connect, OBDLink MX+, OBDLink CX, Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+, generic ELM327 adapters, clone behavior, NO DATA, UNABLE TO CONNECT, BUS INIT, SEARCHING, CAN ERROR, STOPPED, ECU polling, race telemetry from OBD, Android Auto OBD display, or Car App Library integration with live vehicle data. Trigger for app issues where OBD appears connected but does not return valid data, where Home shows Connecting during adapter init/probe, or where BLE-vs-classic OBD path choice changes behavior. Do not use for generic Android Bluetooth permissions or pairing-only issues unless they are directly blocking OBD transport setup; use android-bluetooth for those.

From the source SKILL.md

Full guidance for ELM327-based OBD2 communication from Android — from adapter identification through vehicle protocol init, PID polling, and Android Auto display.
