Vgate iCar Pro Bluetooth 4.0 OBD2 Code Reader OBDII Fault Diagnostic Tool Compatible Car Adapter Check Engine Light for iOS, iPhone, Android and Windows

(the item sold was clearly the genuine article) This worked perfectly with Android (two different OBD apps) and from Windows, both with Classic Bluetooth (not BLE). I also established a direct serial over BT connection at 115200 baud from both Windows and Android and was able to query using standard ELM327 v2.3 commands. I was not able to connect to the BLE from Android, however.

Used to clear injection (emissions) fault code on Fiat Doblo, which had failed MOT because of warning light. Also works on my Citroen Berlingo. Good diagnostic tester when used with OBdocker App , though Car Scanner App not successful for me.

Tried other cheaper ones with poor results, This works perfectly Used the BMW app for it, which wasn't cheap but you get what you pay for.

I spent a while trying to get this to work correctly on an F series BMW - torque app worked just about, Bimmer Tool could not see the ecu though and it was my app to use. Eventually i found it had very aold firmware on the device, so download the lastest version from vgate's site v 4.1.17 and now it works correctly. This must have been really old stock as the firmware in the device was over 5 yrs old. I would image most people would just return it.

🔌 I recently acquired the Bluetooth 4.0 OBD2 Code Reader, and it's notably smaller than the ones I've had before. One of the standout features is its compatibility with FORScan, which is a plus for me as I own a Ford car. It's suitable for both petrol and diesel vehicles under 6.5 tons, covering a wide range of cars. Since I own both types, this reader serves as a versatile solution. In the package, you'll find the OBD2 plug and a surprisingly user-friendly manual. 📖 Its great that it uses Bluetooth technology, offering lower power consumption compared to Wi-Fi. Its battery-saving mode automatically shuts the device down after 30 minutes of inactivity, consuming about 3mA while asleep. This is beneficial unless your car remains stationary for an extended period. However, it's worth noting that this feature doesn't apply to electric or hybrid vehicles. I do find the 30-minute duration a bit lengthy if you intend to keep the device connected, as most car systems would have already entered sleep mode. This suggests that the reader is optimized more for diagnostic purposes than continuous monitoring. Notably, most car OBD connectors' cover plates might hinder leaving the reader connected unless modified, which somewhat downplays the sleep mode's premium aspect. 🔍 The OBD2 reader boasts compatibility with a wide range of third-party applications. For the most current list, consulting their website is recommended. It effectively reads both generic and manufacturer-specific fault codes and should allow you to clear these codes as well, although I couldn’t test this as I don’t have any faults. It offers great value for the money, potentially saving you costly diagnostic fees. With insights into your car's issues, you can seek repair quotes with confidence, avoiding potential overcharges. 🔄 An interesting feature is the reader's firmware upgrade capability. You can easily find this information on their website. However, it's essential to exercise caution when selecting an ODB scanner app. Not all apps are equally reliable. The app mentioned in the manual didn't work for me, but I had better luck with another one that easily recognized the reader. 🟢 In conclusion, this Bluetooth 4.0 OBD2 Code Reader presents an efficient and compact solution for DIY diagnostic needs. Its entry level but its compatibility with various vehicles and the ability to upgrade firmware are notable advantages. It connected to my Ford and Peugeot without difficulty. For its quality, value, and versatile functionality, I recommend this OBD2 Code Reader as a valuable tool for car diagnostics. 🟢

Good quality, easy to use if you get the right app( car scanner in my case), decent price, connects easily with Car scanner app through Bluetooth.

Doesn’t do that much, works with various apps, I tried several but couldn’t fix the car. A waste of money.

Ich konnte damit beim Dacia Sandero den jährlichen Wartungsintervall problemlos mit der App (Car Scanner) zurück stellen.
