Car Scanner ELM OBD2

Car diagnostics from your phone

Car Scanner ELM OBD2 turns an Android phone into a practical vehicle information and diagnostics tool. It is designed for drivers who want more than a basic warning-light reader, including DIY owners, enthusiasts and anyone checking a car before visiting a workshop. The app works with a compatible ELM327 adapter to read information from the vehicle’s onboard systems.

What it can show

The app can retrieve diagnostic trouble codes, explain their meaning and help users clear codes when appropriate. It also presents live vehicle data through configurable dashboards, gauges and charts, so you can choose which readings stay visible while driving or testing the car. Depending on the vehicle and adapter, available data may include engine readings, fuel-use information and performance measurements.

• Read and interpret engine fault codes
• Build dashboards around selected sensor data
• Track trips, fuel consumption and acceleration figures
• Use a mirrored head-up display view for selected readings

For owners who want deeper control

Car Scanner ELM OBD2 goes beyond generic OBD2 readings on supported makes and models. Manufacturer-specific profiles can expose additional parameters and, for some vehicles, settings that are not presented through the standard dashboard. Coverage depends on the car, its control units and the adapter being used, so results will vary between vehicles.

Position in the category

Published by CAR SCANNER LLC, the app sits in the Auto & Vehicles category with a 4.65 rating from more than 318,000 reviews and 10,000,000+ installs. Its large set of readings and configuration options makes it a better match for users willing to explore vehicle data than for someone seeking a single-button scan.
