To use Car Scanner, you'll need a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE) OBD2 ELM327 compatible adapter. This device plugs into your car's diagnostic socket, enabling your smartphone to access detailed car diagnostics. Recommended adapter brands include OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, and Veepeak. Be cautious with cheaper OBD2 ELM327 adapters, especially those marked as v.2.1, as they may be buggy and less reliable.

Please note that the capabilities of Car Scanner are dependent on your vehicle's ECU and the sensors it supports. The app cannot display data that your car's system does not provide. Additionally, be wary of using low-quality adapters, as some may struggle to connect with your smartphone or car, and could potentially cause engine instability or data lag.

For optimal performance, we recommend using genuine ELM327 or other reputable adapter brands to ensure a stable and accurate connection.
