This is my first OBD Scanner. Someone that had one of these recommended this scanner to me. I used this with the BlueDriver app downloaded to my iPhone 14 PRO. I have a 2002 Ford Taurus with a gas cap light illuminated on the instrument cluster. It also has the brake system lights illuminated, but fluids are okay and the system is okay. Whatever was going on was also causing what felt like occasional misfires and was possibly from a vacuum leak. Online research revealed several possible causes, so I tried what seemed like the simplest fix, which was first cleaning the gas cap and inlet and reseating it. That did not work, so I replaced the cap. That did not work. Another friend had a more inexpensive handheld OBD scan tool, but it did not reflect what was causing my gas cap light or the brake light warnings. Rather than continue spending money replacing various other possible things, I opted to try this BlueDriver Scanner since it was reportedly thorough.
After reading the very brief quick start insert and downloading the app, I followed the directions and ran my first scan. It should be noted that this provides the best results if you enter your VIN (vehicle identification number) in the app before running the scan. If you run a scan with no VIN entered and wish to retrieve repair reports, the VIN must be entered and then you will be required to run another scan. This runs a deep scan. It took about 2 minutes or so. I made the VIN mistake and had to run two scans. (See dislikes below).
This found issues related to the gas cap light (code P0457) as well as others that did not even reflect a warning light or code. But, it was issues that I wondered why things did not work. It identified likely causes of why my headlights did not come on automatically, why there was no chiming when my key was in the ignition while the driver’s door was open, an error in my hood switch, a power steering pressure sensor, and another vacuum system leak. So, I was quite impressed with the things it found/identified. It also allowed me to clear the code of the gas cap light. The brake light problem was not identified at all, nor was it cleared.
As far as possible causes and reported fixes, I was hoping for a little more than a line or two saying from someone’s post that they replaced such and such. But, this is a lot more than so many other OBD scan tools provide. I can see taking this when looking at a used vehicle to purchase and running a deep scan to see of any hidden problems with the potential purchase. I recommend this product.

Does a very deep scan of your vehicle’s systems and identifies things that don’t even light up on your dash.
Worked well with the app on my iPhone once I clicked for it to allow to connect to Bluetooth.
It provides recall reports (obviously on much older cars most of these should have already been dealt with and I don’t even know if a dealer will still honor those that aren’t).
This works wirelessly between the device and your phone or tablet.
There are no subscription fees or update fees and they keep their database current.
One supposedly has access to trained technicians (24/7) in the app or by phone. I was unable to find anything on their online support page as to whether or not one must pay for this service.
It automatically saves the report (I did not know this and saved a duplicate) and you can send this report to your email or just save the PDF.
It’s very easy to use. Plug it into the port (vehicles after 1996, I believe, have these), and press on the scan icon. There are several self-explanatory icons. Some, not being a mechanic, I had no clue what they were for.
There is an online support page.
The device lights up while pairing with your phone/tablet and you can see a progress of the scan in the app.
It has the capability to access your camera in order to scan your VIN, but it simply would not scan mine so I had to enter it manually.
Reads and clears the annoying airbag system and tire pressure monitoring systems codes.
Reads live data from your car engine, if you know what you’re looking at, I don’t.
Dislikes:
The VIN scan would not read my VIN although I made sure to do it in bright sunlight (no glare on windshield) and the VIN plate was not rusty or dirty or obscured.
I was not able to copy and paste my VIN into the app’s VIN field.
There’s really no instructional booklet aside from a very brief quick start card. Everything has to be found within the app or online at the site.
Meh:
Some kind of carrying case would have been nice. I am just using the box it came in, which serves the purpose, but a hard-shell protective case would have been much better.
On the inside of the box is a BlueDriver plastic emblem with a magnetic or somewhat adhesive backing. I’ve no clue if this is meant to adhere to the outside of the packaging box or what it’s for.
