To use Car Scanner, you'll need a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE) compatible OBD2 ELM327 adapter. These devices plug into your car's diagnostic socket, enabling your smartphone to access vital vehicle data. Recommended adapter brands include OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, and Veepeak. Be cautious with cheaper Chinese ELM327 adapters, especially those marked as v.2.1, as they may have connectivity issues and bugs.

Please note that the extent of sensor data available depends on your vehicle's ECU. Car Scanner can only display data that your car's system supports. Additionally, be wary of using low-quality adapters, as they may cause unstable engine performance, frequent disconnections, and increased data lag. For optimal performance, stick to genuine ELM327 or recommended adapter brands.
