OBD2assistant — Smarter car diagnostics from your Android phone

Hi everyone!


I'm an automotive technician who got tired of clunky, ad-filled OBD2 apps that made it harder, not easier, to diagnose cars.


So I built OBD2assistant — a clean, modern Android app designed for car owners and DIY mechanics who just want simple, fast, and trustworthy car diagnostics from their Bluetooth OBD2 adapter.


What it does:


Quickly connects to any standard Bluetooth OBD2 adapter


Scan and clear check engine codes (with support for multiple protocols)


Live-stream real-time engine data (like RPM, boost, coolant temp, TPS)


AI-powered simple fault explanations (not just raw codes!)


Ad-free, lightweight, and easy to use



Why I built it:

I wanted something better than the confusing, bloated apps that haven't changed since 2010.

Real users — mechanics, tuners, daily drivers — deserve better tools.


Who it's for:


DIY mechanics


Car enthusiasts


Anyone who wants to know what's really wrong with their car without needing to spend hundreds at a shop



What’s next:


Adding customizable gauge dashboards


Cloud backup of scan history


Expanded AI repair recommendations based on live data



I’d love any feedback — even 1–2 sentences helps!

Feel free to ask anything about car diagnostics too — happy to chat in the comments

If your interested in becoming a tester for the app please enquire at www.obd2assistant.com and id be happy to register your gmail and provide download link.


Thanks so much for checking out OBD2assistant
