The 5V is not picked from Arduino. It's converted and regulated from the 12V. The 5V is for powering Arduino. Uh! So a second question arises: is the adapter somehow protected from voltage spikes coming from the car power? I read in a lot of post many recommendations in doing so (e.g. via a voltage...

Please download the latest source code instead the one of last year.

It's a product designed for open-source hardware (Arduino), with open-source library. The hardware of the product is not open-sourced.

A new API of getVoltage() has just been added in OBD-II library for getting car battery voltage. This feature is provided by OBD-II adapter and does not requires car engine started. The latest code is in the repository - https://github.com/stanleyhuangyc/ArduinoOBD

I can confirm you that pin 7 is connected and used.

If the OBD is not connected to car (not powered), please don't connect it to the LCD shield.
