from an Authorized flinkey IQ Installer are:

   The OBD port location is such that the device protrudes and interferes with entering 

or exiting the vehicle, or located where it could be inadvertently kicked or bumped 

during vehicle operation

   The device isn't fully secured and so may come loose with vibrations or accidental 

contact

   Depending on your situation, an electrical harness or additional wiring is required

   Depending on your situation, vehicle mounting modifications are required to secure 

the device, i.e. removing of panels; deformed/damaged OBD connector; or physical 

damage to the electrical wiring

   When the device is connected to power for the first time, the device beeps six times

   The installer questions their ability to complete a secure installation according to 

these instructions

vehicle is in motion or otherwise in operation. All installation, configuration, or removal 
must be done only in stationary vehicles which are securely parked. Attempting to 

service devices while the vehicle is in motion could result in malfunctions or accidents, 
leading to death or serious personal injury.
