WHAT YOU NEED
• An OBD2 adapter (ELM327, OBDLink/STN, USB cable or raw CAN)
• A vehicle with an OBD2 port: most petrol cars from 1996 (USA), 2001 (Europe) and 2006 (Australia), and most diesels a few years later
• Android 8.0 or newer

Available values and codes depend on your vehicle. The inspection check is a guide only.

Please set up your dashboard before you drive and don't use your phone while driving. Performance and lap timing are for closed roads and tracks only.
