Vgate iCar Pro Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) OBD2 Fault Code Reader OBDII Code Scanner Car Check Engine Light for iOS/Android

I recently purchased the Vgate iCar Pro Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) OBD2 Fault Code Reader, and I’m really impressed. Setting it up was straightforward — just plug it into the OBD2 port, pair it with my phone via Bluetooth, and I was ready to go within minutes. The app interface (compatible with both iOS and Android) is clean and intuitive. It reads and clears engine codes quickly and provides clear descriptions of any issues, which makes diagnosing problems a lot less stressful. I also like that it works with multiple car brands, which is a big plus. So far, it has accurately detected faults and helped me understand minor issues before they became bigger problems. The connection is stable, and the device itself feels solid and well-built. If you want an affordable, reliable OBD2 scanner for home use or as a first-time diagnostic tool, I’d definitely recommend the Vgate iCar Pro. It saves time and gives peace of mind.

Works really well. Just plugged it straight into my OBD2 port and it lit up straight away so very easy to use. I used a third party app (IOS - car scanner) and it connected in seconds and read the codes stored in a matter of minutes. It seems good quality and was packaged really nicely, compact in a small box (fits nicely in my glovebox) , only used once so far.

This is a great little device. Worked perfectly on my 07 ford focus and my 2001 Lexus is200. Was able to check all codes, remove dash lights and check stats live. When you receive it you need to download developers app VgateFwUpdater, once downloaded open it. Hit the scan button to scan for your device once done hit update to update the firmware. Bear in mind engine needs to be switched on for power to update & scan the ecu. Then download car scanner on App Store. Very simple to do. Just plug the obd in and start the engine up, open car scanner, go to setting and select your car from the database once done, go to the main menu and hit connect. Takes a few seconds only. On my Lexus I removed the check engine light cause of the decat and removed all lambda codes. Cel then turned off. The ford focus had 1 code for a system fault which was removed. Everything is sound now. Saved money from going to a mechanic. Brilliant little obd scanner. 3 lights on the front to tell you it’s on & Bluetooth is active. Can’t recommend it more. For £20 what more could you want. Just buy it.

Exploring the intricacies of this little gizmo, I found it quite practical with a few quirks along the way. Connecting it to my 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport was straightforward enough, but be prepared, you'll either stick to the recommended app with its subscription or hunt down alternatives that are VIN-limited. A bit cheeky, that. Now, while it worked flawlessly on my Disco, it threw a strop when trying to connect to an older Megane. Android chums will have a smoother ride over iOS users, who might face compatibility hitches. But there's hope if you're patient. For example, I nearly abandoned ship but found that keeping my phone within inches of the reader finally did the trick. It's a bit like coaxing a cat to behave, honestly. When all is said and done, it does what's on the tin, with a dash of patience.

Really good item,used it for my car to perform a diagnostic.really good price and works perfectly,highly recommend!

Works only on certain apps

I'm awarding 5 stars as this did everything expected of it. Comes with a booklet of QR codes so you can find the OBD scanner program your car prefers more easily. However, it took me a while to find a program that worked with my car. (Not the device's problem!) The first program I downloaded did not reset fault codes unless you paid a monthly subscription. The second one declared the free version did set codes but damned if I could find how to. The third program worked like a dream. I won't give the program names because you'll have a different experience depending on your car. Do what I did - quiz Chatgpt about which program works best for your car - and stipulate fault code reset in the free version, if that's what you want.

Works with bummerlink on an iPhone 17 faultlessly! Connects on the button and could not ask for more!
