Features & Capabilities

U-Scan is a smartphone-enabled vehicle diagnostics extension that pairs with the U-Scan adapter to deliver fast, actionable insights. Designed for DIYers and professional technicians, it lets you read and erase OBD-II codes, review emissions status with QuickCheck, AutoID to identify most vehicles, TrueLink for broad compatibility, and store diagnostic history in MyGarage with a detailed Vehicle Activity Log.

Powertrain Enhanced Data adds manufacturer-specific code definitions, freeze-frame details, and live data graphs for real-time diagnosis across many brands. Optional App Enhancements unlock ABS and Airbag codes, while CodeConnect provides access to millions of verified fixes. Note that some features and access levels incur additional per-vehicle or all-manufacturer pricing.

User Reviews

Users report the U-Scan app is unreliable: frequent Bluetooth pairing issues, connections dropping, and difficulty reconnecting. Updates and motion-detection changes often break live data and prevent monitoring while driving. The software is described as outdated and limited in vehicle coverage, with reports of unhelpful customer support and questionable value for money. A minority of reviewers say it works decently when connected and can read basic trouble codes (including ABS and airbag lights), but the overall sentiment is negative.
Pros
  • When the device connects, it generally works reasonably well for code reads and basic diagnostics.
  • Capable of reading trouble codes, including ABS and airbag lights.
  • Some older hardware versions reportedly offer usable performance.
Cons
  • Bluetooth pairing/connection problems are frequent and the device often fails to stay connected.
  • App updates frequently break functionality, including live data or monitoring while driving.
  • Motion/vehicle movement errors frequently prevent scans or force restarts.
  • Customer support is often described as poor and some reviews cite added costs with little value.
  • Software is outdated with limited vehicle coverage (older cars; newer modules may not be supported).
Recent reviews
When it stays connected, it works pretty good unfortunately it often loses his connection and reestablishing. It is troubleshooting and time-consuming, and sometimes not successful.
