To utilize Car Scanner, you'll need a compatible Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE) OBD2 ELM327 adapter, which connects to your car's diagnostic socket and grants your smartphone access to your vehicle's diagnostics. Recommended adapter brands include OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, and Veepeak. Be cautious of inexpensive, potentially problematic Chinese clones labeled as v.2.1, as they may harbor bugs and affect your car's performance.
Please note that the capabilities of Car Scanner are contingent on the sensors supported by your vehicle's ECU. The app can only display data that your car is equipped to provide. Additionally, be wary of "bad" adapters, as some may struggle to connect or even destabilize your car's engine operation. For optimal performance and reliability, opt for genuine ELM327 or recommended adapter brands.
