Diagnostics of the electronic and computer systems of the car are carried out at technical inspection stations. However, it takes time and money.
OBD2 diagnostic apps are available for modern Android and iOS smartphones. They allow you to diagnose a car personally and regularly. Also, apps read engine errors and the operation of cylinders and air valves. Applications also offer additional functions.
Please note - The program requires an ELM327 or a compatible Bluetooth OBD2 adapter. This adapter is connected to the car's onboard computer (located under the steering wheel). The inCarDoc application has a custom adapter, but you can use any other one. Be sure in its quality and compliance with standards. The application performs diagnostics and reads the status of the Check Engine, decrypts OBD2 errors, and resets the DTC. inCarDoc users can save and forward diagnostic results.
Engine parameters that the OBD2 scanner application reads: speed, RPM, temperature, pressure, lambda and many other parameters supported in your car.
inCarDoc displays parameters in the form of graphs or arrow/digital scales (at the user's choice). In addition, users configure the units of measurement (fuel consumption, distance travelled) and select the language of the application.
As for fuel consumption? This is an additional feature of the inCarDoc Economizer application that allows you to read fuel consumption indicators for the distance travelled. Thus, the driver can calculate the most optimal way and time to the destination. Allows you to display real-time parameters (instantaneous and average consumption) and the total data for the trip per day.
The app is free, but users can purchase inCarDoc PRO.
The functionality of the PRO version opens up the possibility of recording real-time parameters. Users can record parameters in the background (for Kiwi3, Vgate Bluetooth low energy adapters). The application log allows you to view the history of checks and parameter traces. You can share the verification data on the app's official website, where the forum of application users and car owners is available. The GPS function allows you to track speed and altitude. For users of the PRO version of inCarDoc, console mode is open for advanced users, direct sending of OBD2 and ELM327 commands.
