The dongle is half the tool; the app is the other half · review
An adapter that behaves like a scan tool: the maker states an all-system scan with inspection reports, which is a different proposition from a code-reading dongle.
The last word A scan tool without a screen. The app is the risk and the reason.
A Bluetooth adapter and the manufacturer’s own app, which together perform a scan across the car’s control units and produce a report.
A generic adapter speaks the standard, and the standard covers emissions-related engine data. Reaching ABS, airbag and transmission needs manufacturer-specific protocols, which is what a tool like this implements and a €15 clone does not.
Buying a used car. A ten-minute all-system scan in the seller’s driveway lists stored faults across every module, and that is information no test drive gives you.
The long-term terms of the app. On a tool whose entire capability lives in software, the license is the specification — and this listing does not state it.
Not found on the American Amazon store, where the buy link falls back to a local search rather than to a page that does not exist.

It reads every control unit the car exposes rather than the engine alone, and produces a list. For a used-car inspection that list is the whole point: it shows the faults nobody mentioned.
The maker states that the exclusive app unlocks all functions, and does not state what it costs after purchase. That is the question to settle before buying — with any app-driven tool.
