About Carsmind: OBD2 AI Scanner
Stop guessing at warning lights. Scan fault codes, watch live sensors and ask what is wrong, how serious it is and what to do next — before you spend money at a repair shop.
WHY DRIVERS CHOOSE CARSMIND
• AI car mechanic — not just a code reader
Generic OBD2 apps dump a P-code and leave you searching. Carsmind explains the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for your make, model and VIN, then recommends the next checks.
• Check engine light: read and clear codes
Read stored and pending engine codes. Understand them in plain language or technician terms. Clear the check engine light after the repair is done.
• Live OBD2 data and freeze frame
RPM, coolant temperature, fuel trims, oxygen sensors, throttle, battery voltage and a full PID catalog — on the dashboard and as live widgets in chat. Freeze-frame data shows the snapshot from when the code was set.
• Guided AI diagnostics
When something is actually wrong, run a deeper diagnostic. The assistant can request live readings, interpret the results and keep a ToDo list of vehicle problems.
• Chat that fits you
Ask in simple language or switch to a professional technician tone. Re-read a sensor and the answer updates in place.
• Built for real ELM327 adapters
Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth Classic, Wi-Fi and USB OTG (Android). Works with Vgate vLinker, OBDLink, Viecar and generic ELM327 clones. Pairing PIN is usually 1234 or 0000.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Add your car — enter the VIN or scan it with the camera. Carsmind decodes the vehicle so answers are specific, not generic.
2. Plug the OBD2 adapter into the port (usually under the dash), turn the ignition ON and pick the adapter. Carsmind connects automatically.
3. Scan for engine codes and live parameters.
4. Talk to the AI. Get an explanation, a plan and optional live readings.
YOUR GARAGE IN ONE PLACE
Keep several vehicles. The dashboard shows connection status, chats and open problems. Diagnostics is one tap away: scan, explain, act.
PRICING
Free to download. New accounts get a 7-day starter token grant. Then buy a one-time token pack — purchased tokens never expire. Chat and diagnostics consume tokens based on real AI usage. Guided diagnostics uses a stronger model, so cost scales with complexity. No subscription required.
COMPATIBILITY
• OBD-II cars and light trucks (typically 1996+ in the US; 2001+ petrol / 2004+ diesel in the EU)
• ELM327-compatible Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and USB adapters
• USB adapters: Android with an OTG cable only
• Internet is required for AI, VIN decode and your account
• Ignition must be ON (engine running for many live parameters)
IMPORTANT
Carsmind helps you understand the car and avoid unnecessary shop visits. It is not a substitute for a certified technician on safety-critical systems (brakes, airbags, steering, structural damage). Clearing codes does not repair the fault. An ELM327 OBD2 adapter is required and sold separately.

What’s new
Version 0.1.5 · Updated September 16, 2026
• Deep AI Diagnostics: reads live sensors even with no fault codes, can suggest a short drive, and gives a 0.0–5.0 condition score — useful before buying or selling. • AI explanations now follow the language you choose in the app. • Share fault codes, explanations and diagnostic results. • Last scan stays on screen after you reopen the app, even without an adapter. • Cleared codes no longer come back right away.
