Adapter Requirements:

Car Scanner requires a compatible Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE) OBD2 ELM327 adapter. Recommended brands include OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, and Veepeak. Avoid cheap Chinese clones, especially those marked as v.2.1, as they may be unreliable or even damage your vehicle.

Important Notes:

• Sensor data availability depends on your vehicle's ECU. The app cannot display data not provided by your car.
• Use of low-quality adapters may lead to connection issues, unstable engine performance, or data inaccuracies. Always prioritize genuine ELM327 adapters or recommended brands.
