Compatibility and Adapter Requirements:
Requires a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE) compatible OBD2 ELM327 adapter. Recommended brands include OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, and Veepeak. Avoid cheap Chinese clones, particularly those marked as v.2.1, due to potential compatibility issues. ECU sensor availability varies by vehicle. The app cannot display data not provided by your car's ECU. Using a quality adapter is crucial for reliable performance and to avoid potential engine instability.
