Great app! I use a BAFX bluetooth interface. Reads my GM 5.7L van + BMW 540i. I just replaced the intake manifold gaskets on my van and set up a gauge cluster with RPM, CMP* and CMP**, for setting the distributor timing. Made the job easy since I set my cell phone on the floor beside me while I worked. The app isn't perfect and drops the bluetooth signal now and again, but overall I'd say that it's great for the home auto enthisiast. Will save you hundreds of dollars versus buying a scan tool.
Purchased to diagnose a P0272 on a 6.0 Excursion. Tried doing the buzz test multiple times, and the app repeatedly fails after first injector with an Unknown Error. Does the same thing on my 2004 6.0 F250. I was willing to look past the clunky interface if the buzz test worked. Very disappointed.
Works great! This app will read any code that goes through the PCM. Use one of the better OBD bluetooth adapters that uses all pins in the port for the best results. The cheap ELM will not provide all info. I switched to the BXFX adapter and can read Nissan codes, Ford ABS data, and Dodge trans codes, etc.
Updated review! Keep up the great work! Excellent and quite usable! PSD KOEO and KOER Basic PIDs what more could you need? Happy to say that the developer promptly emailed me with simple easy to follow instructions. I would change only one thing: Setting to lock 1 vehicle in with the scan setting you want to avoid the multiple screen launch? Is not a deal breaker just hyper aware from my Samdung Note8 Nanny State POS...
It is the only app I found to look up the codes I needed, cam retard so it was well worth the price. It really needs to be updated to better support newer/higher resolution phones and a cleaner interface, seems clunky/jumbled. FYI if I had a Ford still I would stay with forscan
I tried twice; 1st with Android 9 and again with A6. I went searching for tech support and found that there isn't any. I also realized that this has not been updated since 2015. Such a shame; it's the only app available with IBT and CCT for Ford and neither work.
Getting "java.io.ioexception: bt socket closed" error on my galaxy note 8 and I tried everything I could but it wont connect. I spent $60 on a good bluetooth OBD II reader so I could use this app to do an injector buzz test on my 96 f250 7.3 powerstroke. Stupid app will not work on my phone. Hey developer, update this junky app. Charge $8.99 and you haven't updated it in nearly 5 years. You wasted my time and money.
This app is the best for accessing pids. I just wish you guys would cleanup the interface and make it a little more modern. It's not always straightforward to get the data you want to see.
Has stopped working with my BAFX adapter. Worked perfectly in the past. It will connect, but now, halfway through a scan, I get a message telling me I need an OBDLINK mx, and disconnects.
Update #2: After getting in touch with someone through email we tried testing and checking a few things. He was not able to resolve the issue and refunded me the purchase. He did state that contribution balance test was not available at this time even though there is a selection in the software. Update: Emailed the company's one and only email. No phone # and no real website. Just a forum. The address shows to be an apartment complex. The more I look into the company the more I see shady things. Allowed 2 days but never received a response. Email again. Now just waiting. Did not work as advertised. Connected to my Bluetooth obd2 device but would not read any pids or preform any tests. I ran the pid scan and followed all instructions. Like other users stated, horrible UI. It's black and white and looks like Windows 3.1.
As soon as I installed it said the app was designed for a olderr version of Android as developer for updates I still open the app and was able to connect but felt it was very poor quality and hard to navigate didn't work well don't know if it was the app or the fact that it was designed for old Android
Bought the app to do a buzz test on my 04 Ford Excursion. App is not intuitive and does not have a help section with supporting information built in. Finally found the OBD Scantech website and innthe forums it says that the buzz test does not work on vehicles older than 2001. Waste of time and money if that is what you are looking for. OBD Fusion is much easier to use it does not have a buzz test.
cant understand what the timing advance gauge is for 98 chevy k1500. It has a value that fluctuates between 22,000 and 24,000 degrees. Surely this is way off and not accurate? If anyone reads this, what controls the timing advance of a k1500? Maybe there is a specific thiing I can replace that is faulty causing that bogus reading? Or is it the app itself calculating the value wrong?
Only just started using the app, but it certainly looks comprehensive. I just wish there was a Car Gauge Pro for Dummies manual so that I could find out how to do what I want to do without spending hours playing.
would not work with three devices, on recommended adapters. boo, not sure I can get my money back after having waited because I bought an additional adapter to see if it was just a hardware issue on my end
cant get it to do contribution test or buzz test. it starts to buzz then tells me unknown error code. developer response makes no sense as theres literally videos of 6.0 powerstrokes doing it. with the app they obviously have a issue with a bug somewhere either phone or something
cannot connect to my obd2 bluetooth device. i've tried twice with different device still cannot connect. i want my money back.
It connected and did a great job; however, when it came to the buzz test for my 06 f250 powerstroke 6.0, It would only preform 1 master buzz. I've gone through tutorials and i'm using the correct obd2 device. Mmm.... I'll be happy to change the reviews if solved.
I read the reviews,and was skeptical. So I watched the YouTube videos, and thought why not. I mean for under sixteen bucks, try it. The fella in the video had the same truck as mine. So a week later the Conweilink arrives, I buy the Car Gauge Pro app, and I'm heading out to do the Buzz Test Shuffle! For 16 bucks, I should have went and got a fifth of Evan's. It just tells me "Device Not Responding ". After years of marriage, I'm not surprised. Am I mad? No. CHEERS!
The app doesn't work on newer Android phones. Developer doesn't answer emails. I don't suggest downloading this app if you have a phone newer than 2013.
I downloaded this to my galaxy s10 to buzz test my 7.3. Was notified it wasnt up to date with the current android os and I could not get it to connect to my bluetooth obdii.
Installed it and could not navigate it at all. The app kept freezing and was not user friendly at all. Not worth buying. After this app failed i purchased DashCommand and it was 100% better.
I could not buzz test my 2001 Ford Diesel with other apps, but it worked well with this application. I wish there were more details on how to use the various features, but it is a great application.
This app does not do cylinder contribution tests. Hangs and says out of range no matter what the engine conditions are. Will not do any other tests listed as well. It does not work as advertised. Dont spend your money!
I can't get this thing to even connect to the Bluetooth. shows it's pair but won't connect. what am I support to do so I can do a buzz test on my 96 7.3 diesel? I'm going to try tongue pro and see what happens. But I'd like to get advice on how to do this.
On a compatable list for a scanner i bought but does not have the option to connect via wifi. Someone lied somewhere.
useful for my 7.3 powerstroke but not so much on the 6.0. It doesn't have some important pids needed for the 6.0. Also can't figure how to buzz test or cylinder contribution test.
When it worked it was great, but now it won't work on Bluetooth, a competing app works just fine, but doesn't have as many features, I suggest the developers look into the Bluetooth connectivity issues otherwise I fear this app will perish quickly.
