Unparalleled Functionality in the App Store
Car Scanner ELM OBD2 offers the widest range of features available in any App Store OBD2 application without requiring additional plugins or in-app purchases. All functionalities are included within the program.
Important Note: The displayed parameters vary depending on the vehicle’s ECU and not the Car Scanner application. An ELM327-based OBD2 adapter (Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 4.0; Bluetooth 2.0 is not supported due to Apple restrictions) is required. Recommended adapters include Kiwi 3, Viecar Bluetooth 4, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, Veepeak, and Konnwei KW903. Cheap ELM327 version 2.1 adapters are often unreliable and may cause connection issues or vehicle malfunctions. While compatibility with vehicles from AvtoVAZ, GAZ, and UAZ is possible, it is not guaranteed.
Car Scanner ELM OBD2 is a free app with a one-time purchase or subscription to unlock all features. Contact the developer at [email protected] or through the in-app support for assistance. See https://www.carscanner.info/ios-tos/ for the Terms of Use.
