To harness these capabilities, you'll need a compatible OBD2 ELM327 adapter that connects via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE). These adapters plug into your car's diagnostic socket, allowing your phone to access detailed vehicle diagnostics. Recommended adapter brands include OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, and Veepeak. Be cautious with inexpensive Chinese OBD2 ELM327 adapters labeled as v.2.1, as they may have numerous bugs.

Please note that the variety of supported sensors depends on your vehicle's ECU. Car Scanner can only display data that your car's system provides. Beware of "bad" adapters; some cheap clones may struggle to connect or even cause engine instability. For optimal performance, we recommend using genuine ELM327 or our suggested adapter brands.
