A device that allows vehicle diagnostics via a wireless connection to an Android-based smartphone or tablet. This system typically involves a hardware component that plugs into a vehicle’s onboard diagnostics port (OBD2) and a software application installed on the Android device. The hardware communicates vehicle data to the software through a Bluetooth connection, providing users with access to various diagnostic information.
This diagnostic method provides accessibility and convenience for vehicle owners and technicians. It enables users to read and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), monitor real-time sensor data, and perform other diagnostic functions without the need for specialized, expensive equipment. The technology represents an evolution from traditional, wired OBD2 scanners, offering greater flexibility and portability. The availability of such systems empowers individuals to better understand and maintain their vehicles, potentially reducing repair costs and improving vehicle longevity.
