## Description

The **OBD2 ELM327 Dashboard** Chrome extension allows users to connect their vehicle's OBDII Bluetooth adapter to receive real-time diagnostic data. Once paired, the app continuously requests standard PID codes to gather live vehicle performance information and displays this data directly on the dashboard.

Designed for vehicle enthusiasts and mechanics, this extension translates raw OBDII responses into useful metrics, aiding in monitoring engine status and other parameters. The app optionally accesses phone storage when users choose to export sensor data as CSV files, providing a seamless way to log and analyze vehicle diagnostics offline.
