To use Car Scanner, you'll need a compatible OBD2 ELM327 adapter that supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE). These devices connect to your car's diagnostic socket, allowing your smartphone to access detailed diagnostics. We recommend trusted brands such as OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, and Veepeak. Be cautious with cheap Chinese clones, especially those marked as v.2.1, as they may have bugs and connectivity issues that could affect your car's performance.
Please note that the capabilities of Car Scanner may vary depending on the sensors supported by your vehicle's ECU. If you encounter issues with connectivity or performance, consider using a genuine ELM327 or a recommended adapter to ensure a stable and reliable connection.
