Listed on clearance for $3 each, but is part of the promotion that takes a further 15% off clearance items in cart, so total comes to $2.55. Free delivery if you have OnePass.
Pretty cheap car diagnostic tool to use with your device wirelessly via WiFi. The reviews are good from those that managed to get it to connect to their phones (this connects via wifi, not bluetooth!). I haven't received mine (dispatched today) but once I do I'll report back.

Note: Does not come with any app, so you'll need a separate scanner app on your Android/iOS phone for this to be useful.

    Im always weary with these cheap scanners that they may stuff up the cars ecu. Maybe not but an expensive repair if it does.

      The cheap ones typically only have the capability to read rather than write any settings. It's very unlikely to break anything. Electrically, the circuits on the OBD interface on the car are well enough protected that even shorting pins shouldn't do any long term damage.

        They keyword is "shouldn't" but you can never be sure.

        How many stories have we heard of cheap usb cables damaging phones. The same principle can apply to scanners with poorly built circuits. I personally would not risk it.

          Don't risk it with the expensive ones either then.

          How many stories are there of cheap obd scanners wrecking cars?

          • easternculture on 02/04/2024 - 18:13

            @Spendmore: None confirmed as its hard to prove but more than a few forum posts on automotive forums

            • banana365 on 03/04/2024 - 11:22

              @easternculture: "More than a few". OK, given how many hundreds of thousands of automotive forum posts there are, I'd say that the risk is negligible. Those that are valid may also be people using OBD apps/adapters capable of changing settings and it's user actions causing the issue. I know my OBD tool could really mess up a car if I just ignorantly fiddled with the settings.

              • easternculture on 03/04/2024 - 11:37

                @banana365: Fair enough and fair point. However i dont have 3 grand to replace an ecu or damaged sensors. So hard pass for me.

                I wish you or anyone else all the best if you choose to trust a no brand with your car

    Be nice if these things came with their own app as the only good OBDII apps are the ones you have to pay for.

    • Russ on 02/04/2024 - 19:27

      What makes an OBDII app good?

      I've been using an old version of Torque Lite, and it's enough for me. I just checked Play Store, and it's still free, but now has ads.
