What You’ll Need

The app requires a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (including Bluetooth 4.0 / BLE) OBD2 adapter that is ELM327 compatible. This device plugs into your vehicle's OBD2 port and connects wirelessly to your smartphone, giving you access to your car’s internal diagnostics.

Recommended Adapter Brands:
OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, Veepeak

⚠️ Important Note: If purchasing a budget ELM327 adapter from eBay or Amazon, avoid units labeled as v2.1—they are known to be buggy and unreliable. Some low-quality adapters may cause unstable engine behavior, frequent disconnections, or delays in data reading.

Please also note that vehicle ECUs differ in terms of supported sensors and data availability. Car Scanner cannot display information that isn't provided by your vehicle's system.

For best results and reliability, we strongly recommend using genuine ELM327 adapters or one of the recommended brands listed above.
