Decoding Repairs with BlueDriver Repair Reports
One of the most valuable aspects of BlueDriver OBD2 tools is the access to the BlueDriver Repair Database. This extensive database contains over 30 million experience-based Reported Fixes for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Instead of leaving you with a cryptic code, BlueDriver provides validated fixes specific to your vehicle’s year, make, and model.
Repair Reports are intelligently ranked, presenting you with “Top Reported Fixes,” “Frequently Reported Fixes,” and “Other Reported Fixes.” This prioritization helps you save time and focus on the most likely solutions to repair your vehicle effectively. You can even preview sample Repair Reports within the BlueDriver app to see the level of detail provided.
Getting Started with BlueDriver OBD2 Tools
To utilize the full capabilities of BlueDriver, you’ll need the BlueDriver Bluetooth® OBD2 Sensor, which is purchased separately. The BlueDriver App itself is free to install and acts as the interface for your diagnostic tool, but the sensor is essential for communication with your vehicle.
Connecting the BlueDriver Sensor is straightforward. Every car manufactured since 1996 has a standardized data port, typically located near the steering wheel. Simply plug in the sensor, pair it with the BlueDriver app on your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, and you’re ready to begin diagnosing your vehicle. BlueDriver boasts global vehicle compatibility, making it a versatile tool for users worldwide.
