To use Car Scanner, you'll need a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE) compatible OBD2 ELM327 adapter. These adapters plug into your car's diagnostic socket, connecting your smartphone to the vehicle's diagnostics system. We recommend reputable brands such as OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, and Veepeak for reliable performance. Be cautious with cheaper, unbranded adapters, especially those marked as v.2.1, as they may contain bugs or cause connectivity issues.

Please note that the capabilities of Car Scanner depend on the sensors supported by your vehicle's ECU. It cannot display data that your car does not provide. Additionally, be wary of "bad" adapters, particularly cheap Chinese clones, which may fail to connect properly or even affect your car's engine stability.

For the best experience, opt for genuine ELM327 or recommended adapter brands to ensure smooth, reliable operation with Car Scanner.
