About the product
The Vgate iCar Pro is a small adapter that plugs into your car’s OBD2 diagnostic port (usually under the steering wheel). Your phone connects to it, and an app shows you what is going on in the car.
What you can do with it
- Read and clear engine fault codes when the warning light comes on. You know straight away whether it is minor or needs a garage.
- Watch live data: coolant temperature, revs, battery voltage, fuel use and more.
- Works with apps such as Car Scanner and Torque, many of them free.
Which version to choose
- Bluetooth 4.0 works with iPhone and Android. This is the one we recommend.
- Wi-Fi also works with both but ties up your phone’s Wi-Fi while driving.
- Bluetooth 3.0 is the cheapest but does not work with iPhone.
The adapter wakes when you start the car and sleeps when you switch off, so you can leave it plugged in without draining the battery.
Watch out for
It is not a workshop tool. ABS, airbags or service resets only work with some apps and cars. It works in cars with OBD2; in the EU that is roughly petrol cars from 2001 and diesels from 2004.
Who it is for
Any driver who wants to know why the warning light is on before paying a garage.
