To utilize Car Scanner, you'll need a compatible OBD2 ELM327 adapter that supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE). These adapters connect to your car's diagnostic socket, enabling your smartphone to access the vehicle's diagnostic data. Recommended adapter brands include OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, and Veepeak. Be cautious with inexpensive Chinese OBD2 ELM327 adapters, especially those marked as v.2.1, as they may have numerous bugs and connectivity issues.
Please note that the capabilities of Car Scanner are dependent on the sensors supported by your vehicle's ECU. The app cannot display data that your car does not provide. Additionally, be wary of using low-quality adapters, as they may cause connectivity problems or even affect your car's engine performance adversely. We strongly recommend using genuine ELM327 or the recommended adapter brands for the best experience.
