Unlock the secrets of your car’s health with the Vgate iCar Pro Bluetooth Scan Tool OBD2. This compact yet powerful device transforms your smartphone or tablet into a professional-grade automotive diagnostic scanner. Whether you’re a seasoned mechanic or a car owner keen on understanding your vehicle better, the Vgate iCar Pro is an indispensable tool in your glove compartment.
Packed with Features for Comprehensive Diagnostics
The Vgate iCar Pro is engineered to deliver a wealth of diagnostic information right at your fingertips. It excels at reading and interpreting diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), both generic and manufacturer-specific. With access to a vast database of over 3000 code definitions, you’ll quickly understand what that check engine light means. Beyond just reading codes, this tool empowers you to clear those codes and turn off the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), commonly known as the “Check Engine” light, after addressing the issue.
But the Vgate iCar Pro is more than just a code reader. It provides real-time engine data, allowing you to monitor your vehicle’s performance in detail. Key parameters you can track include:
- Engine RPM
- Calculated Load Value
- Coolant Temperature
- Fuel System Status
- Vehicle Speed
- Short & Long Term Fuel Trim
- Intake Manifold Pressure
- Timing Advance
- Intake Air Temperature
- Air Flow Rate
- Absolute Throttle Position
- Oxygen sensor voltages/associated fuel trims
- Fuel Pressure
This live data stream is invaluable for diagnosing intermittent issues, monitoring engine health, and even optimizing fuel efficiency.
Seamless Bluetooth Connectivity for iOS and Android
The Vgate iCar Pro offers versatile connection options to suit your devices. It supports both Bluetooth and WIFI connectivity, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of smartphones and tablets.
- Bluetooth 3.0: Ideal for Android devices, providing a stable and reliable connection.
- Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE): Optimized for both Android and iOS, offering faster speeds and lower energy consumption.
- WIFI: Another option for both Android and iOS platforms, giving you flexibility in how you connect.
Setting up the Vgate iCar Pro is straightforward. For iOS users, simply enable Bluetooth on your device and configure the Bluetooth device name within your chosen OBD app. No pairing is required directly in the iOS Bluetooth settings, streamlining the process. Android users will see two Bluetooth names, IOS-VLINK and ANDROID-VLINK, and should connect to ANDROID-VLINK for proper operation.
