Afterword – EcoTune Scam
Is EcoTune a scam? There is no evidence to support any scam claims. However, the vendor is utilizing a FedEx ShipCenter virtual mailbox, not a physical address. Rhino Guard is not a Delaware-registered business, according to a business search via the Delaware Division of Corporations.
EcoTune is not accredited by or registered with BBB. Online visibility is limited to paid advertisement.
As far as the price goes, the $39.98 is significantly higher than the Alibaba replica. A real company would not create a product, utilizing the exact same design. If Rhino Guard is a legitimate company, it may have copyrighted the ECO OBD2 Green Chip Tuner design.
It is more plausible Rhino Guard is an Alibaba/AliExpress dropshipper.

Hello, My question is I live in Washington, D.C.. In Washington, D.C., all vehicles register in Washington, D.C. have to go through inspection where they do an emissions test. They plug a device into the obd2 port where I have my Eco Tune plugged in. When my eco tune is unplugged for them to do the emission test, and plugged back into the obd2 port after the test is completed, will it still be communicating with my vehicle.
