OBD2 Scanner WiFi Car Engine Fault Code Reader Reset Adapter Compatible with iOS Android and Windows Devices, Auto Check Clear Engine Light CAN OBD2 Diagnostic Scan Tool

I got this after my Ford Kuga 2011 started to display the Engine Management light. Obviously for the age of the car, seeing this light pop up can send shivers through your spine, but rather than wait a week to get into the garage, i decided to try this little plugin gadget to help identify the issue. Like most Diesel vehicles, the error was a DPF sensor.... completely understandable for a car that does short hops. I purchased a replacement DPF sensor, fault codes cleared and the car feels like brand new. Although this product (and other reviews) states it's not compatible with Forscan, I managed to get my car connected with the Forscan app on Android. Forscan is primarily setup to use Bluetooth, which will NOT work, you NEED to go into your Forscan settings and change the connection to WiFi, which will allow the app to connect (takes some time). There is a popup saying the adaptor is not recommended, however for code scanning it works great ( I never tried the service functions - but I assume they would work fine too). If you're unable to connect, make sure you disconnect ALL the other diagnostic apps you might be running. For a faster code reading app, I used "Car Scanner", which I also used to clear the error code after the DPF sensor was replaced.

Brilliant little gadget that everyone should keep in their glovebox for when that dreaded engine light comes on or something stops working. Having had an engine light appear after fuelling up, I remembered I’d seen these scanners previously but had never had the need to buy one. Well, today was the day, as it was the same price as my local garage would charge me to plug their scanner in, so if it turned out to be an item I used twice then it would have already paid for itself. Also if it turned out it was a fault I could fix myself then that would also be a bonus. Plugged it in and it works perfectly, showing me the recent error code and also the previous ones that the garages hadn’t cleared off when I’d had issues years ago. I purchased this item because it’s compatible with diesel and petrol cars so I can use it on all my vehicles. I note a few people are asking about apps. I use an iPhone and tried a few apps to see which ones I liked. Lots of them work just fine but the one which I recommend called Car Scanner ELM ODB2. It is probably the most thorough app for free (you can buy the full version for less than a months subscription to some of the others) and also allows you to clear the codes off whereas some others don’t unless you pay for them. I found most of the info was more than I needed (with me not being a mechanic) but it’s compatible and works fine with this item. It allows you to see the fuel consumption, engine temperature, coolant temperature and all other kinds of things that people like to find out about their cars. And least now when there’s an issue I can plug it in, find the code and look up the issue before I go down the route of throwing money away at garages. Also now I can research what the likely problem is and pass it on to the mechanic saving him time in diagnosing the issue. Great item and the novelty of being able to see what’s going on under the hood of my car has not yet worn off, so no doubt I’ll be having plenty more fun with this over the next few months.

Reviewed March 2023: I have been trying to use this with my Defender TD5, and I cannot get it to connect and read the diagnostics at all. Seems like its some kind of communication problem, I can connect to the unit from my mobile phone, but the unit is unable to connect to my vehicle. Tried several different software options, but it seems to be the same problem. Unfortunately I was just to late to return, but it was cheap enough to consider a 'write off', and won't loose much sleep over it. Should have bought something more reputable! Won't bother again!

Great product, easy to use and saves you a fortune on garage fees. However in less than two months mine has stopped working. I would return and accept a replacement.

Okay, the positives first. It works. It works well and its easy to set up and use. It worked a second and third time. Then for some reason it stopped working.Itbroadcasts the WiFi signal but it refuses to make a connection to the CAR. I tried different APPS. Still the same. I went through the set up instructions once again. The unit feels very warm to the touch after connection for 20 minutes. So I am making an asumption the ODBII WIfi unit is defective. For the cheap price, I will absorb the loss.

SO i bought this for my Mazda 6 as i was having nothing but trouble with the DPF. Installation couldn't be simpler - plug and play. Once in you download the app, put your reg in and good to go. The free app is really useful but for a small price you can upgrade to premium and it comes with a lot more benefits. I had to take my car for an MOT and i kept getting a warning light after a few hours of driving, used this to remove the code error and bam, passed the MOT. I now use it on my Peugeot 3008 and the seat Leon. You can monitor everything from temperatures to pressures and sensors, it really is a fantastic bit of kit

Summary... Has worked on all 3 cars I have tested it on...2004 Honda CR-V / 2006 Ford Focus ST / 2013 Renault Clio Error codes confirmed a misfire on Focus accurately - see photo Bought this 18 months ago in a lightning deal...mainly as it was the same price as our garage charges us for just one reading! I tested it on my 2006 Ford Focus, a 2004 Honda CR-V and a newer 2013 diesel Renault Clio, and it seemed to work fine on all...ie....it would connect and read rpm and temps etc. I have the WiFi version and it connects fine on my old iPad Air (1) and a new 2019 iPad Air. I am using a free iOS app which is fairly limited but does the usual thing of displaying error codes and basic engine readings in real-time. You can also clear the codes. Unfortunately, I have now used it for its main intended purpose...to help find a problem. I drove my Focus recently and it started vibrating and juddering on acceleration, and sounding rather sick...the engine light also came on. It felt like a misfire or something to me...but I am no mechanic. However, this little reader confirmed that it was misfiring rather than me just suspecting it...see pic. It turned out to need a new coil pack. Therefore this works exactly as I hoped, and I felt a little more informed about what the problem was. It may not help to actually cure problems but this gadget can at least confirm suspicions or point you in the right direction, if error codes are present. Would recommend.

Good connectivity, Reads some sensor data, but does not show all error codes, and cannot clear those errors that it shows.

no me quedo satisfecho, mucho ingles y chino

Happy

Fantastic

it disconnects immediately. it brought more fault code when connected that it triggered the check engine light. it caused 13 fault codes and had to bring it to a mechanic to clear the fault codes. Cheap clone DO NOT BUY IT.

Horrible in multiple ways. 1. Very difficult to get it connected, and it connects its not consistent, it cuts off. 2. While connected it interferes with the cars ECU accusing the engine and gearbox fail safe warning lights to turn on. At one point it felt it was about to damage the car's ECU. Very dangerous tool. Tried it on 2 cars, an Alfa Romeo and a Cadillac both same issue. It pissed me off to a point where I kept it under the Cadillacs tire and drove over it to break it. Stay away don't risk your cars.
