To use Car Scanner, you'll need a compatible Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE) OBD2 ELM327 adapter. These devices plug into your car's diagnostic socket, allowing your smartphone to access vital diagnostic information. We recommend trusted brands like OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, and Veepeak. Be cautious with cheaper Chinese OBD2 ELM327 adapters from eBay or Amazon, especially those marked as v.2.1, as they may have connectivity issues or bugs.

Please note that the extent of supported sensors can vary by vehicle ECU. Car Scanner can only display data provided by your car's system.

Beware of "bad" adapters! Some cheap Chinese clones may struggle to connect with your smartphone or car, and in some cases, can even cause engine instability, frequent disconnections, or increased data lag. We strongly advise using genuine ELM327 or recommended adapter brands for the best experience.
