I originally purchased BlueDriver in 2015 and was not particularly happy with the app. However by January 2016 the app had several revisions and have become excellent.
The original review was fairly critical giving 5 stars to the hardware and 2 stars to the BlueDriver app. For a number of months I had to use an alternate free app (Torque) because BlueDriver just did not stay connected long enough to be useful. However, after a number of updates the app is now excellent and provides a lot of information that the free app does not. It provides clear readout for engine light on (I am including an example from EGR Valve problem). It also correctly showed a recall for the air bag before the manufacture notified me in a letter many months later.
Because of the dramatic improves I felt compelled to replace the critical review with this 5 star review.
The scanner is simple to install and simple to use. A lot simpler than I expected, frankly. All cars and light trucks built and sold in the United States after January 1, 1996 were required to be OBD II equipped. Once I looked up what the OBD-II connector looked like it was easy to locate it. The connector is very distinctive looking, I am including a picture of it in my video for reference. In my car the connector was located under my dash, slightly to the right of the steering wheel.
The OBD II scanner is fairly small: 1.75" wide, 1.74" tall, and 0.875" wide.
You can find it on Amazon by following this link.
