To operate, the app requires a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE) OBD2 ELM327-compatible adapter that links to the car's diagnostic socket, granting access to car diagnostics.

Recommended adapter brands: OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, Veepeak.

If purchasing a cheap Chinese OBD2 ELM327 adapter from platforms like eBay or Amazon, avoid versions marked v.2.1 due to numerous bugs. Note that sensor availability varies depending on the vehicle's ECU capabilities.

It is crucial to use genuine ELM327 or recommended adapter brands, as some counterfeit adapters may cause connection issues, instability in the car's engine, lost connections, or increased data reading delays.
