Car Scanner Pro

[rslilly76]

If you don't already have car scanner it's free in the app store with great features for free. All you need is an elm bt adapter to use the app. I upgraded to a pro lifetime license for $7.99, and I love all the features. I used to use torque but this one had more features and better compatibility. I love that I can see the hybrid battery charge!

I use the same app, with a bluetooth obd2 adapter and added a wireless carplay adapter and connect my iphone wirelessly and I have it display on the 8" screen in my '24.
I have it displaying HVB charge and temp and ice rpm and battery voltage and coolant temp.
I can add a pic later.
Works really nice!

2025 mine already had wireless Android Auto, but yeah I can monitor everything right from the infotainment screen. It's awesome!

That is really nice because you could use it in other vehicles for troubleshooting, the Forscan Lite is about the same price, but limited to Fords.
I kept the free version of Car Scanner Pro in case it would be useful to help for someone.

But, does Car Scanner Pro have any Tests & Services available for the truck?
I had a similar app that had a Battery/alternator startup test, but that's it. Well, and that 0-60 is interesting on flat road trying to stay in EV mode!

Forscan Lite has these:




I happen to have it on table view instead of gauge, both very customizable for PID's to include like CSP has.



I like your view with very clear figures to read at a glance.
I actually haven't tried setting up Gauges with different order to see if it works, if different profile I can save, have to try that today.

Which Bluetooth Obd2 adaptor did you use?

I use the vLinker MC+ obd2 adapter.
I chose it because it had good ratings and a reasonable price.

For $8 to get the lifetime pro version of Carscanner it was easily worth it.
this is what I have on screen while I’m driving using CarPlay with my iphone

So the FS one is Ford

Not sure what the difference is but they both should work, including both are listed as compatible with Forscan.

I'm seeing more than four (4) Car Scanner entries per page on some Maverick displays. I'm using Android Auto and can never get more than 4 lines of data. It appears those with more lines are using Apple Car Play, not Android Auto? If so, then this is likely an AA setting I'm guessing?
