Useless scan tool

Worked fine up until software update v 2.6. Now it won’t connect to any vehicle. Would not recommend.

Parenting Must Have

I have two of these. One I use at the house for my wife and I. The other is in my daughters Jeep as she is off to college. If she notices anything unusual, she scans her Jeep with this OBD2 and sends me the results. This is a very valuable tool to have for your family!

Hopefully you read this first - Do Not Buy

Scanner worked when i first bought it. Right after the 6 month mark was up it no longer works. Tried it on multiple types of vehicles & it wont communicate with any of them. You will never be able to get customer service on the phone. They send you to robo call purgatory or endless email chains. If anyone from blue driver customer support team reads this i have one piece of advice for you…FIND A DIFFERENT LINE OF WORK BECAUSE YOU ARE TERRIBLE AT YOUR CURRENT JOB.

Reliable

So far, the device is worked very well for me past 5 to 10 years. Good unit.

Delete a vehicle

Can anyone help me delete the 500 reports for a vehicle that I no longer have?

Great!

Only issue I have is it struggles to connect to my phone sometimes

True blue

Definitely got what I wanted thanks so much for making this

Garbage!

The app is bloated with garbage. You can get these information online for FREE

Great product

Never had issues with it and it’s so informative

Easy and compact

Gives me peace of mind to know what the issues are and what a repair plan and urgency requirements.

Easy to use

Was little overwhelmed at first but take the plunge plug it in and learn your car. I’m learn the in and outs of the device I think it’s very handy and great tool for the beginner and advanced car enthusiast.

Does not work on some basic vehicles

The tool has worked great even on euro cars, reading many modules. Not on 2011 Subaru though, built in USA. Only reads engine codes, that’s it! Would not even attempt to read ABS module!

Bait and switch

These jerks promised not to require an online account or online connectivity for this tool to work. But now it requires an online connection in order to start so when you’re out jeep in the wilderness, you can’t use this. These guys totally suck.
*Update* And after they saw this review they tried to tell me that my experienced inability to sign into my account while in the wilderness wasn’t “requiring an account” to use BlueDriver.
Be warned. You need this tool while you’re in the wilderness? You’re potentially walking home if you don’t get a different scan tool.

Great Tool - But…

BlueDriver is a useful OBD2 scan tool, and a good value, and I’ve been pleased with the device overall. However, I was disappointed to discover that it does not currently support my 2026 Subaru Outback.
When I contacted customer support, they initially had me go through a number of diagnostic and trouble shooting steps before eventually realizing that my vehicle simply wasn’t supported. I was surprised that this wasn’t identified immediately and also disappointed that BlueDriver doesn’t appear to be keeping pace with support for newer vehicles.
I still think BlueDriver is a worthwhile product for supported vehicles, but I strongly recommend checking compatibility with your specific year, make, and model before purchasing. I also think BlueDriver should make current vehicle compatibility, much clearer to customers.

Simple and No Subscription

App is intuitive to use and has a great FAQ with links to YouTube videos explaining features and set-up if you have a problem. No subscription needed to use all features!

Clearly it does not clear any codes!

What a waste of money. The Blue driver did nothing to help us with any of the error codes it found, and there weren't even any simple codes that were fully repaired exactly as needed.

The standard

Not sure how long I’ve been using BlueDriver but it was within a few years of it coming on the market. There may be others out there but this one is more than adequate. Apparently, thieves love them too. I’ve had two stolen over the years.

Solid product and software

Good way to see what’s happening in engine

UPDATE 7/12/26- Drains battery so fast and makes iPhone so hot, it’s only practical to have it on for a short period while diagnosing.

Excellent way to get insights into what’s happening inside the engine. The UI is very intuitive with lots of information. Very detailed analysis (but not for all cars, ie very limited info on Porsche cars for example) and most likely suggested solutions for the cause of CEL coming on. Happy with this purchase and would recommend.

Wish I had got this scanner earlier!

I got the BlueDriver scanner recently- it opened door to understanding a lot more about my vehicle. I run live scans and it saved me money that I would’ve spent in dealership. I would recommend the scanner.

MONEY SAVER

I HATE THIS TOY. That’s what my mechanic said lol….. This scanner saved me a lot of time and aggravation, the only one that really hates it is my mechanic.
