Recommended adapters brands: OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, Veepeak.
If you buy one of the cheap china OBD2 ELM327 adapters from ebay / amazon, then make sure it’s not marked as v.2.1. This adapters are supported, but they have lot’s of bugs.

PLEASE NOTE: Vehicle ECUs vary in the amount of sensors supported. This app can’t show you something, that is not provided by your car.

Attention "bad" adapters! We faced the problem, that some adapters (often cheep Chinese clones), can’t connect to the smartphone or the car. Some of them can even make your car engine work unstable, often lost connection, increase time lag when reading data.
So, we recommend you to use genuine ELM327 or recommended adapter brands.

1. ★★★★☆ Markus Prengel · 5 Oct 2026 · v2.1.50
   Eine sehr gute Applikation, und endlich auch eine Anbindung für meinen OBD Link EX per USB. Einziger Kritikpunkt ist das bei Ford nur das PCM erkannt wird und bei VAG Fahrzeuge alles und sogar die Module mit Software und Codierung. Vielleicht könnte man das noch implementieren.
