Adapter Requirements: Requires a compatible Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE) OBD2 ELM327 adapter. Recommended brands include OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, and Veepeak. Avoid cheap Chinese v.2.1 clones, as these may be buggy or unreliable.

Important Notes: The number of sensors displayed depends on your vehicle's ECU. The app cannot display data not provided by your car. Use of low-quality adapters may lead to connection issues or even vehicle instability. Always prioritize genuine ELM327 adapters or those from recommended brands.
