Hi,

Which apps are best for connecting via Bluetooth to the OBD port?

With a previous car I've used Carly and Torque Pro. I also got the ZUS dongle thing but it's not that useful.

Any other recommendations?
Thanks.

I've read that Vgate vLinker FD BT coupled with FORScan Lite for Android is a good combination for diagnostics, i.e. reading data and reading/clearing DTC's. If you want to program, the vLinker FS USB coupled with the free Windows version of FORScan on a laptop.

I haven't used any of them though, so they're not personal recommendations, just products you may want to research.

I've used a couple of OBD2 apps myself and would be happy to recommend a few. I've found that OBD Auto Doctor and BlueDriver are both great options for connecting to the OBD port via Bluetooth. They both have user-friendly interfaces and offer a variety of useful features.
Additionally, if you're interested in using QR scanning and OCR software, I'd recommend checking out smartengines.com. They offer some fantastic products in this field that can be really useful in your day-to-day life.
