This Bluetooth OBD2 scanner plugs into your car's diagnostic port and sends engine data to an app on your phone, so you can read the code behind a check-engine light before visiting a garage. It uses the ELM327 V1.5 command set on two circuit boards with a PIC18F25K80 chip, and it pairs over Bluetooth 5.1. It is part of our Automobile collection.

Frequently asked questions
Will the Bluetooth OBD2 scanner work with my car?
The Bluetooth OBD2 scanner works with petrol cars that have an OBD2 port and use the standard OBD2 protocols (ISO9141-2, ISO14230-4 KWP, ISO15765-4 CAN, SAE J1850 PWM and VPW); in the US that covers most cars from the 1996 model year onward.
Where do I plug in the OBD2 scanner?
The OBD2 scanner plugs into the car's 16-pin OBD2 diagnostic port, which is usually under the dashboard on the driver's side near the steering column.
What app do I use with the Bluetooth OBD2 scanner?
The Bluetooth OBD2 scanner pairs with your phone and works with common ELM327-compatible OBD2 apps on Android; the supplier also lists iOS and Windows support.
What can the OBD2 scanner read?
The OBD2 scanner reads and clears engine fault codes behind the check-engine light and shows live data such as engine RPM, coolant temperature, vehicle speed, fuel system status and oxygen sensor voltages.
What is the difference between Type A and Type B?
Both OBD2 scanner types are the same dual-board unit with the PIC18F25K80 chip; Type A ships in a paper box without a CD and Type B ships in a bag with a CD.
