Check Engine Light Diagnostics
Is your Check Engine Light on? With an OBD app, you can quickly read the error codes so you can check what's wrong with your vehicle and possibly save you a trip and cost to the mechanic for minor issues. When you need to take the vehicle to a mechanic, it also give you a peace of mind.
Real-time Sensor Reading
There's tons of information available in your vehicle's computer systems, but most of it is not displayed on the vehicle dashboard. With this device and an OBD App, you can access a whole new world of information about your vehicle directly on your phone or tablet, such as Engine coolant & oil temperature, O2 Readings, Mass air flow, Speed, Fuel Trim, etc.
Works with iOS, Android & Windows
The VP01 creates its own WiFi for your phone or tablet to connect. It is recommended for iOS devices like iPhone and iPad. The VP01 also works with Android devices but you won't have internet connection for other apps. We recommend VP11 or OBDCheck BLE (Bluetooth versions) to use with Android if you want internet access during use.

- View real-time sensor readings
- Monitor fuel economy
- Create your own dashboard
- View I/M readiness

Common FAQ
1. Is there an App included with the item?
No. You have to get a compatible third-party App from the App Store or Google Play Store (some may require separate purchase). Also what features you can get mainly depends on your chosen App (refer to user instructions).
2. Does it work on hybrid or electric vehicles?
It can work on most hybrids or EVs, but it requires a proper App, for example Car Scanner (with the appropriate connection profiles), ABRP, EVNotify, LeafSpy, EV Watchdog, etc.
3. Can it reset ABS, airbag, and other non-Check Engine lights?
Most OBD2 Apps only provide basic emission-related check engine light diagnostics. You will need a capable App that can do enhanced diagnostic on your specific vehicle. Refer to user instructions for detailed information. Oil reset (or other service functions) is not supported.
4. Does it use WiFi or Bluetooth?
It uses WiFi to connect, and does not have Bluetooth connectivity. Please check if the App is set to WiFi with IP: 192. 68.0.10 & port 35000.
Common Troubleshooting
1. Device not power up? No power light on?
There is no visible power led light when it's plugged in. Please first check if you can find WiFi name "WiFi_OBDII" showing up on your phone or tablet. It will NOT send out a Bluetooth signal. If no WiFi signal shows up, check the cigar fuse of your vehicle. You can also try with another vehicle to verify.
2. App not connecting to the Veepeak Device.
Make sure the App is compatible, and you have made the right App connection setting (set to WiFi as connection type); remove and re-install the app (after OS update); try with a different App.
3. Cannot connect to vehicle (ECU connection fails).
Make sure your vehicle is OBD2 compliant, ignition is ON and the device fits well in the OBD2 port. Try to push it a little harder into the OBD2 port if the contact is loose; you may try it on another vehicle to verify.

Review: First off, I am not a mechanic. I have been getting a check engine light on my car and I loathe the idea of taking it to a mechanic where I will be told I need a new transmission when the problem is actually a frayed wire. Obviously, some automotive issues are unavoidable, but I like to know what is going on with my vehicle without having to rely on some mechanic with a criminally biased opinion. That is why I decided to buy this scanner. I have to say, for the price of this scanner, I was skeptical. Now that I have used it for a month or so, I can say I am incredibly happy I decided to make the purchase.
The scanner arrived in a tiny box with a miniature instruction pamphlet. The instructions walk you through how to connect the device to your phone, but that is it. Any interaction you have with the scanner other than the initial connection will be done through the app you choose anyways. The set up on the phone to allow the use of the scanner and the cell network simultaneously was very simple and I haven't had a problem with it since. The scanner can also be connected to a laptop computer but I haven't tried that yet.
The scanner itself is fairly compact. Once I plugged it into the car, you wouldn't even notice it was there unless you were looking for it. The connection is pretty snug, so it sometimes takes a bit of force to take it out, but not enough that I have any concern about breaking anything. When I leave the scanner plugged in, it stays fairly warm (even with the car turned off) but I haven't noticed an appreciable drain on my battery yet. I am always travelling for work and I leave it plugged in while I am gone for a week or more each time, so the battery drain must be fairly negligible. Once the app is opened, it does take about 10 seconds for the phone to start receiving data, but that may be related to the app I am using as well.
I opted for one of the paid apps (OBD Fusion) to allow me to customize the dashboards and use automatic Dropbox data logging. I have used this scanner in 2 different vehicles and I can move it back and forth seamlessly.
I initially ordered this to diagnose a check engine light and a rough idling engine. After using the scanner to check the trouble code, it showed that there was a problem with the idle air solenoid. I followed the air lines through the engine and sure enough, there is a broken air line in the engine. Simple $5 fix that would have been hundreds had I taken it to a mechanic. This thing has already paid for itself dozens of times over.
The information the scanner can give you depends on the car it is plugged into (and likely the app you use) but the scanner is capable of giving a LOT of information. In addition to all the diagnostic tools, depending on the app, it can show (in real time) your speed, engine RPM, battery voltage, coolant temp, instantaneous MPG, lots of good information. Again, I am not a mechanic, so I do not understand many of the reports the app can generate, but the list is extensive.
Pros:
1- Price: Given the plethora of information the scanner can provide, and how much money it can save you in the long run, it almost feels like I am getting this scanner for free.
2- Connectivity: The connection is easy to set up and requires no correcting after that. It is simple and user friendly.
3- Size: The scanner is very small. Many other scanners I've found are a few inches long, but this scanner has a very thin profile. Once it is plugged in, I can't even see it under the dash.
Overall I am very happy with this purchase and even if it did 10% of what it does, I would still be happy. For the price, I am incredibly impressed. It has saved me a lot of money and the initial investment is miniscule to begin with. I would absolutely but this product again.
The functionally of this greatly depends on the software you choose to use, Some are very limited others will read everything.
This adapter will allow for reading of everything it is not the limitation.
This uses WI-FI so you when you plug it in it creates a wifi network you can join using your phone, then you load the app (search OBD scanner on the app store), it will find the adapter on the network (since its the only thing) and connect. This model is mainly for use with the iPhone, as the iPhone is limited in the types of Bluetooth devices it can connect to. I may work with android, but that is an unknown for me personally, there is nothing stopping it, its the software on the phone that would be the limiting factor.
Using ODB Fusion app (paid) with this dongle is super easy and functional. The app is persnickety about WiFi vs Bluetooth dongles and I can confirm, this WiFi version works wonderful. It is compatible with many different apps, but my experience with ODB Fusion was easy and worth the modest price of the app.
Especially on 20 year old cars that constantly throw check engine lights for the stupid O2 sensors I’ll never replace… yay for the ozone.

Appareillage WiFi efficace (comparé au bluetooth)
A coupler avec une bonne application Obd.
J'utilise personnellement Car scanner qui est gratuite et qui est un véritable trésor!
Malheureusement je n'ai pas réussi à fouiller l'application , qui reste complexe, pour diagnostiquer , réparer et supprimer mon voyant airbag (détecté sur un autre de mes véhicules, mais pas sur celle où j'ai le souci).
Sinon, suppression des défauts moteur sans soucis (après réparation bien sûr)
A fouiller encore.
A acheter les yeux fermés !
Et moins cher que les autres !
Privilégiez le wifi qui est beaucoup plus stable que le bluetooth.
