To use 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, allowing 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, 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 "bad" adapters, particularly cheap Chinese clones, which may struggle to connect or even cause engine instability. For the best experience, we recommend using genuine ELM327 or the recommended adapter brands.
