About this product

A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner with bi-directional control, made for the moment a warning light appears and the garage hands you a parts list you cannot yet justify. Reading the stored codes first shows which system raised the fault — engine, transmission or ABS — so you can judge whether it is a job you can take on or one to hand over. Bi-directional control means you can command certain actuators from the app instead of only watching live values, which is how you confirm whether a part responds at all. The list of covered vehicles, the app version and which functions sit behind a paid subscription are not spelled out in the offer, so check all three against your make, model and year with the seller before ordering; a scanner that misses your protocol set is money spent for nothing.
