Product Information
Full details
The FIXD OBD2 Professional Bluetooth Scan Tool is an essential companion for daily drivers and DIY car enthusiasts who want to demystify vehicle diagnostics without needing mechanical expertise. By bridging the gap between your car's complex computer system and your smartphone, it translates cryptic check engine lights into easy-to-understand explanations and keeps track of vital maintenance schedules. While it provides immense clarity for most vehicle issues, users should note that it is primarily a diagnostic tool for reading and clearing codes and may not provide the deep-level programming capabilities found in professional-grade garage scanners.

FAQs
Will FIXD work on diesel vehicles?
FIXD is primarily designed for gasoline-powered vehicles from 1996 and newer; it may have limited or no functionality on diesel models.
Can I use one FIXD sensor for multiple cars?
Yes, you can move the sensor between vehicles, though you will need to re-sync it via the app when switching.
Does it require a subscription?
The core diagnostic features work without a subscription, though some premium app features may be offered as optional upgrades.
Will it drain my car battery?
The sensor is designed for low power consumption, but it is always best to unplug it if you are leaving the car sitting idle for an extended period.
Does it work with my iPhone and Android?
Yes, the FIXD app is fully compatible with both iOS and Android platforms via the respective app stores.
Can I clear the maintenance light with this?
FIXD can diagnose many engine-related codes, but some specific 'maintenance required' dashboard lights require manual resetting through the car's internal menu.
Troubleshooting
App fails to connect to the sensor
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and try unplugging/replugging the sensor to power cycle it.
No data appearing after successful connection
Turn the vehicle's ignition to the 'On' position (without starting the engine) to allow the sensor to read data from the ECU.
Check engine light remains on after clearing
If the issue was a temporary sensor glitch, it should clear; if the light persists, the underlying mechanical problem remains and requires physical repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get started, locate your vehicle's OBD-II port, which is typically found under the dashboard on the driver's side. Simply plug the FIXD sensor in until it clicks. Download the FIXD app on your iOS or Android device, enable Bluetooth, and follow the on-screen prompts to sync the sensor with your vehicle profile.
Compatibility covers almost all gasoline vehicles sold in the United States from 1996 onwards. For care, keep the sensor clean and dry. Avoid leaving it exposed to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for extended periods. Because the device consumes a small amount of power, if you plan to store your vehicle for more than a few weeks, it is recommended to unplug the sensor to prevent unnecessary battery drain.
