## What is SKANYX?

Check engine light on? Plug a small Bluetooth OBD2 adapter into your car, open SKANYX and read what the light means in plain English. How serious it is. Whether you can keep driving. What the repair should cost. All before the garage tells you.

No car knowledge needed. The adapter costs about $15 and works with gas and diesel cars, trucks and vans that have an OBD2 port: sold in the US from 1996, in Europe from 2001 (petrol) or 2004 (diesel).

Reading and clearing fault codes is free. With a free account, every scan also tells you how urgent each fault is, and your first full AI verdict is on us. After that, a one-time Diagnosis Pack or a Pro subscription. No ads.

WHAT YOU GET

• The check engine light, explained: every fault code in plain words. How serious it is, the likely cause, the cheapest first step and what the repair should cost.
• Turn the light off: clear the code once the fault is fixed and see if it comes back.
• Advanced scan: reads the fault memory of every control unit that answers, not just the engine. Results and the AI summary come with Pro.
• Electric and hybrid cars: battery charge, health, cell voltages and temperatures on supported models.
• Health Monitor: a 60-second scan that gives your car a 0-100 health score.
• Fault Prediction: what is likely to fail next, with cost and timing.
• AI Mechanic: ask anything about your car. Answers use your car's own profile and scan history.
• Pre-Purchase Inspection: buying a used car? A guided check with a test drive ends in one of four verdicts, backed by real data: Go ahead, Negotiate, Check first or Walk away.
• Drives: tap to record a trip on a live map. Trips get a 0-100 score and, when your car reports it, fuel use.

WHAT YOU NEED

An OBD2 adapter, sold separately for about $15. On iPhone, use a Bluetooth LE (BLE) ELM327 adapter or an OBDLink MX+. The adapter goes into the OBD2 port, usually under the steering wheel.
