Review: Works great, fast updates, quality hardware - I've been using this on a 2000 Buick Park Avenue. I use "Torque Pro" on Android and bought all the paid features to go along with it because it works so well. I tried "Torque Lite" first, which was free. Great app, imo. My phone is a Galaxy S10+ (Snapdragon 855 8 core/8GB RAM/UFS 2.1 storage @ 6gbps/Bluetooth 5.0). I am not sure what version of Bluetooth this device uses. I am assuming 4.0 from the info I'm able to find. The hardware seems to be moderately powerful because I can load my screen up with gauges and have zero slowdowns.. ever. No jamming, no lost connections. I've seriously yet to have an issue with this product or the software I'm using with it. I assume the data transfer rate of BT5.0 or higher isn't necessary. I can log .csv files and open them with any app that can read them (like Chrome, for example). But it can log and show live data without any hitches. I'd recommend it to a friend. It's mentioned everywhere, but just realize you need Android, you need Bluetooth and you need SOME kind of compatible software on your Android device that can utilize this scanner. As mentioned, I am using Torque Pro. You can change how fast some items update vs others, but a lot of mine are updating at least twice a second (I can go faster or slower) and like I said, even with a page full of data being updated, there's no slowdowns. It doesn't get hot. It constantly and smoothly updates, whew, for example, MPH (You can use GPS or OBDII speed, in this instance, I'm using OBDII and a screen to show the difference in OBDII speed vs GPS), RPM, Vacuum, Intake Temp, Load %, Throttle %, EVAP usage and more. I can't even remember what all I have on one screen. You can add formulas (you can find them online) and see if they will work for your car, too. They are for the Torque app. I can reset my codes without issue. I have a massive vacuum leak. Being a 2000 Park Avenue with the 3800 II @ 120kish miles, I'm fairly certain it's the LIM gasket. It's some head/intake gasket that blows on them all between cyl. 4 and 5, because I've had misfires there. So I got it to just mainly keep an eye on my one code that keeps popping up (IAC can't control the high idle) and ended up being able to see so much more. I really love this tool. I use it EVERY time I drive haha. I love looking down and seeing MAF cfm flow, intake temp, Volumetric Efficiency (terrible with the vacuum leak) and more. Just so many little things I didn't expect to be able to see and all updating perfectly like clockwork. So, yeah, some of this praise is to the software, but the hardware, itself, is flawless at sending data all through Bluetooth, somehow, with zero slowdowns. I'm impressed.
Review: Great pocket sized device. - Works great and pairs easily with android phone. Works great with Car Scanner app. Should work with apps requiring a ELM327 OBD2 bluetooth interface. Good little device for the $

## Questions & Answers

**Q: When i plug it in, my abs flashed on the dash. it turns off when i remove the scan tool. what should i do?  i have an 2003 toyota mr spyder.**
A: Your ABS light is flashing because it is relaying real-time data from your vehicle to the device and is temporarily in default mode.. just make sure you remove the device before driving your vehicle

**Q: This product works with Windows Phone**
A: I believe the proper Termanology is a android phone. The answer is yes.

**Q: Doe sthe unit draw against battery power when vehicle is off?**
A: It does on my xterra. The ECU also pulls power when the vehicle is off. I've not had issues with it using any more power than a phone charger.

**Q: Do I need to download a specific app for this bluetooth version scanner, and which app do you recommend?**
A: I use Torque Pro ($5 upgrade to Pro was well worth it). I think if you have a BMW you'd want a "bimmer" app.

When hauling trailers and on long trips I leave it in all the time and have (Torque) built some pages for constant dashboard display of engine load, gas mileage, temps, etc.

Torque also has a trip mode to keep saving data across starts and stops for gas and such.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent value and long lasting (5 years for me).
*by T***J on February 20, 2026*

Worked well for about 5 years. I left it plugged into my car and used it often as a data reader for AT Temp etc. while towing. It finally stopped connecting to my phone via bluetooth. I bought it in 2021, so I've had it almost 5 years. Going to buy another one for $15. Worth it! I'll probably opt to not leave it plugged in all the time, next time around. It could have also broken when my truck died recently and I had to jump start it. I'm not positive what killed it really. I ended up paying for Car Scanner Pro ($5 I think) and I used it for diagnosing issues on anything from my 01 Buick Park Ave to my dad's 2014 Corolla. Does NOT read TPMS or other body control module items. Just ECU data and codes. Live data readouts from O2, MAF, Throttle, temp sensors etc. Really nice tool to have around.
