To use Car Scanner, you'll need a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE) compatible OBD2 ELM327 adapter, which plugs into your car's diagnostic socket and communicates with your smartphone. We recommend trusted brands like 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 bugs and connectivity issues.

Please note that the extent of sensor data available depends on your vehicle's ECU capabilities. Car Scanner can only display information provided by your car's system. Additionally, be wary of "bad" adapters, as some cheap clones may cause connectivity problems or even affect engine stability.

For the best experience, opt for genuine ELM327 or our recommended adapter brands to ensure reliable and accurate diagnostics with Car Scanner.
