ATTENTION TO WINDOWS MOBILE 10 USERS! LATEST WINDOWS MOBILE 10 UPDATE HAS A BUG (error Code: 0x8007000B) - YOU CAN'T INSTALL APP, IF YOU HAVE DEFAULT INSTALL LOCATION SET TO SD CARD! PLEASE, SET DEFAULT APP INSTALL LOCATION TO PHONE MEMORY, IF YOU'RE EXPECTING TROUBLES WITH DOWNLOADING CAR SCANNER!
See what your car is doing in realtime, get OBD fault codes, car performance, sensor data and more! Car Scanner is a vehicle / car performance / diagnostics tool and scanner that uses an OBD II Bluetooth adapter to connect to your OBD2 engine management / ECU. Car Scanner was inspired by Torque and OBD Car Doctor (PNN software) for Android, and brings best features to Windows Phone / Windows 10 Mobile. Layout your own dashboard with the gauges and charts you want! Add custom (extended PIDs) and get information, that was hidden from you by car manufacturer! It can also show and reset a DTC fault code like a scantool. Now with Mode 06 - ECU self-monitoring test results. Helps you fix your car and helps keep repair costs down! Works on any vehicle that uses the OBD 2 standard (most vehicles built after 2000, but can work for vehicles as far back as 1996). Car Scanner supports all OBD2-compatible vehicles and provides exclusive extra features for some cars of: Opel/Vauxhal/Chevrolet, Hyundai/Kia, Renault, Nissan, Infinity, Mitsubishi, Toyota, VAZ, UAZ
The app needs a Bluetooth OBD2 ELM327 compatible adapter to work. The adapter is small and plugs into the diagnostics socket on the car which gives your phone access. If you buy one of the cheap china OBD2 ELM327 bluetooth 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. AND ONE MORE THING: This app is Beta version. It means that it is in development state. Attention "bad" adapters! We faced the problem, that some adapters (often Chinese one and marked as v.2.1), 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 ELM327 ver. 1.4-1.5 and AVOID USING cheap ELM327 v.2.1.

bargain scanner by DavidW
It's certainly not as good as the Snap-On $10,000 scan tool, but it gives a lot more information than the cheaper scanners you can get at Pep Boys or Autozone. I think they cost around $100.00 ; I believe the ELM327 cost Me under $20.00. But I was told to not buy the ones made in China (they're like $5.00) because they don't work good. But I can not verify that. As a professional Mechanic with 30+ years of experience I approve greatly of this APP.
