To use Car Scanner, you'll need a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE) compatible OBD2 ELM327 adapter. These devices plug into your car's diagnostic socket, granting your smartphone access to your vehicle's diagnostics. Recommended adapter brands include OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, and Veepeak. Be cautious with cheap Chinese OBD2 ELM327 adapters marked as v.2.1, as they may have bugs and connectivity issues.
Please note that the availability of sensor data depends on your vehicle's ECU. Car Scanner can only display the information your car provides. Additionally, beware of low-quality adapters that may cause connectivity issues or even affect your engine's performance. We strongly recommend using genuine ELM327 or reputable adapter brands to ensure a smooth and reliable experience.
