It works with many 1996 and newer gasoline and light-truck vehicles that support standard OBD2 protocols. The unit is intentionally simple: it provides core engine diagnostics and live data but does not offer manufacturer-specific functions or advanced system coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I use the Veepeak Mini Scanner with my Android phone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall a compatible Android app (for example Car Scanner or Torque), plug the adapter into your vehicle’s OBD2 port, pair the device over Classic Bluetooth, then open the app to begin reading codes and live data.
