With support for OBD II Wi-Fi and Bluetooth adapters, this app turns your phone into a full-featured diagnostics powerhouse.
Why Car Scanner Stands Out
Car Scanner isn’t just another OBD reader—it’s a complete vehicle analytics suite packed with advanced features you won’t find anywhere else:-
Customizable Dashboard: Design your own interface with gauges and charts tailored to your needs. Choose what data to display—RPM, speed, fuel economy, turbo pressure, or even custom sensor graphs.
-
Extended PIDs Support: Unlock hidden vehicle data with custom parameters (extended PIDs). Gain insights beyond factory limitations and see what your car manufacturer didn’t want you to know.
-
DTC Reading & Reset: Diagnose issues instantly. View and clear trouble codes (DTCs) like a professional scan tool. Comes with an extensive built-in database of DTC descriptions for quick understanding.
-
Freeze Frame Data: Access sensor values at the exact moment a fault was recorded. Understand the conditions that triggered the error for faster, more accurate repairs.
-
Mode 06 Support: Get deep ECU self-monitoring test results. This advanced feature helps identify developing problems before they become serious—and saves you money on repairs.
-
Emissions Test Readiness: Check if your vehicle is ready for smog or emission testing. No more failed inspections due to unreadied monitors.
-
All Sensors Overview: Monitor every available sensor on a single screen—O2 sensors, MAF, coolant temp, throttle position, and more. Stay informed with comprehensive real-time data.
-
Universal OBD2 Compatibility: Works with any vehicle that supports the OBD2 standard—most cars and light trucks from 2000 onward (and some as early as 1996). For details, visit [ttpp].
-
Brand-Specific Connection Profiles: Enhanced support for Toyota, Mitsubishi, GM, Opel, Vauxhall, Chevrolet, Nissan, Infiniti, Renault, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Ford, Subaru, Dacia, Volkswagen, Skoda, Seat, Audi, and others. Unlock model-specific features and improved diagnostics.
-
HUD Mode: Use the Heads-Up Display feature to project critical data onto your windshield. Keep your eyes on the road while monitoring performance in real time.
-
Accurate Acceleration Testing: Measure 0-60 mph, 0-100 km/h, and other acceleration times with high precision. Perfect for tuning or comparing performance upgrades.
-
Trip Computer & Fuel Stats: Track fuel consumption, distance, average speed, and driving efficiency. Make smarter choices and improve your mileage.
-
Coding & Hidden Settings (Supported Models): Modify factory settings most tools can't touch:
- VAG Group (VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat): Activate Video in Motion (VIM), MirrorLink in Motion (MIM), enable Traffic Jam Assist, customize drive modes, configure ambient lighting, and more (compatibility depends on car modules and firmware).
- Toyota/Lexus (CAN bus models, 2008+): Access hidden menus and settings.
- Renault/Dacia: Limited coding support (varies by model and firmware).
- Other Brands: Available service functions for select vehicles.
-
Most Features Free on Google Play: Unlike other apps that lock core features behind paywalls, Car Scanner offers the widest range of functionality—for free.
What You Need to Get Started
Car Scanner requires an OBD2 adapter that supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE). The device plugs into your car’s OBD2 port and connects to your phone, giving you full access to engine diagnostics. Make sure your adapter is ELM327-compatible for seamless performance.
Recommended Adapter Brands: OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, Veepeak.
⚠️ Important Notes:
- Avoid low-cost Chinese ELM327 clones labeled as v.2.1—they may connect poorly, cause data lag, or even disrupt your engine’s performance.
- Vehicle ECUs vary in sensor availability. Car Scanner can only display data provided by your car—it cannot create unsupported readings.
- Some faulty or poorly made adapters may fail to connect, drop signal frequently, or negatively impact engine stability. Always use genuine or trusted-brand devices.
For optimal performance and reliability, we strongly recommend using authentic ELM327 chips or one of the verified adapter brands listed above. Visit [yyxx] for compatibility details and setup guides.
