To utilize Car Scanner, you'll need a compatible OBD2 ELM327 adapter that supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE). This device connects to your car's diagnostic socket, enabling your smartphone to access the vehicle's diagnostics. Recommended adapter brands include OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, and Veepeak. Be cautious with inexpensive Chinese OBD2 ELM327 adapters labeled 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 can only display data that your car's system provides. Additionally, be wary of "bad" adapters, particularly cheap Chinese clones, which may struggle to connect or even destabilize your car's engine performance due to frequent disconnections and data lag. For optimal performance, we strongly recommend using genuine ELM327 adapters or those from our recommended brands.
