To use Car Scanner, you'll need a compatible OBD2 ELM327 adapter with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE) connectivity. These adapters connect to your car's diagnostic socket, enabling your smartphone to access vital car diagnostics. We recommend trusted brands like OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, and Veepeak for the best performance. Be cautious of cheap, potentially faulty Chinese clones available on platforms like eBay or Amazon, especially those marked as v.2.1, which may have connectivity issues and other bugs.

Please note that the capabilities of Car Scanner are contingent upon the sensors supported by your vehicle's ECU. If certain data is not available, it's because it's not provided by your car's system.

We strongly advise against using low-quality adapters, as they may cause unstable engine performance, frequent disconnections, and increased data reading lag. Opt for genuine ELM327 or recommended adapter brands to ensure a reliable and safe experience with Car Scanner.
