Scotty Kilmer I have two of the $10-20 ones and, at least in my experience, it does all of this same stuff. What makes the difference is the software used. Sure, you don’t get all the recall info and specs but in a pinch I can find that stuff online.
I’ve been using the Android app “Torque”. It even has the ability to scan through all possible PIDs, even finding a lot of the ones that are “hidden” by the manufacturer. Now, it takes a lot of work to figure out how to use the data that’s coming in once you find those hidden PIDs, but I was still impressed with the feature.
I’m sure the BlueDriver one is great, but for those of us that are broke as hell, the $10-20 ones work fantastically for the price. I’ve had both (an iPhone and Android one) for almost two years now with no problems.
Hello...which "two of the $10-20 ones" worked with Android?...Many say android but are really for apple....thanks
MAybe;..but you dont know
Oddly, its also $99 in Canada (which would mean about $78 US). will this thing tell me if there's a problem with the ABS system, as most don't.
Scotty Kilmer Thanks for the link Scotty
Scotty's car is the luckiest car in the world, I bet it drives around with a constant smile. What a healthy car.
Only if it's a Toyota
Ian Knau Not really! Mechanics are notorious for not working on their personal vehicles
Lol no it's not a Mazda to be smiling lol
Haha.
Mt man 1949 so they pay someone to do something they absolutely know they can do? Ok...
I bought a Bluedriver a couple years ago, and it's been an absolute life and money saver. I was able to detect specific issues my car was having at the time, and was able to fix them on my own without having to spend hundreds on a shop..
Does it tell you the exact problem?
@@staytrue2u92no! None do!
yes it does @@staytrue2u92
@@staytrue2u92yes
Does work with merceads too???
Been using Blue Driver for a few years now. Excellent code reader. On my jeep it will do engine, transmission, abs, air bag, even the final drive control for 4wd. All around great product that does everything I’ve ever needed as a diy mechanic.
Does it show the battery voltage
Does it show transmission temperature
But will it blend?
Does it do cartwheels?
I don’t know if you guys noticed Scotty is full of energy in every video he does
I think he's onto something :D I like the videos too though.
Let’s check for codes.... no codes, I know this because it’s my car......... BOOM mic drop
Bob Jazzman LMFAO
Bob Jazzman LMAOSMH!
Bob Jazzman -Bruce Bruce walkoff!!
Bob Jazzman BAHAHA.. Well said 😂😎👍
You had one comment.....and you killed it. Funny stuff.
WHY THE HELL DON'T CARS DO THIS DEFAULT ALL READY!
Thetreetroll you know they want to keep the dealer maintenance alive by keeping us wondering wtf happened to our car
Thetreetroll You realize car companies make shitty cheap cars so you'll have to buy another one sooner right? If they really wanted a long lasting high quality car they could easily make them
Because it's not profitable for the companies if people diagnose/repair their own cars
It HURTS the slimy dealership's profit.
Their dealer service departments would go broke!!
Great tool! I replaced a bad ABS front speed sensor because of the code I was getting and recommendations in the app...With the replacement part I got similar error about a week later, but it was saying the same sensor was dirty instead of bad - turned out the replacement sensor was bad. Another new sensor and codes cleared and went away! Saved me tons of money instead of taking it to the stealer - er dealer... even after buying 2 sensors and the blue driver I was out $180. Dealer wanted $400. It’s since paid for itself a few times over!
which one do you have? thanks
So the blue driver does do abs. ?
@@stephenmetz2044 It sure does. You can get them for a little cheaper but I like the support from bluedriver and it seems to be the best one $100 and under. Mine shows up tomorrow and I plan on using it when buying some used cars.
@@soniapatterson7254 not sure what your question means but hopefully you got it answered. He’s talking about the bluedriver obdll diagnostic tool.
Gotta hand it to Scotty for being both funny and entertaining. Love these videos!
Of course you can your phone to fix your car Scotty. I just go on CZcams and watch one of your videos.
You looked way too much into that one.
Ryan Littleton
What videos? Ive been subbed for over a year and haven’t seen one repair video.
Seems like this would be great to use for checking out the condition of used cars.
YES
It is. I don't remember what reader I bought, but I downloaded the TorquePro app. It doesn't have the vehicle history stuff with regard to recalls and TSBs, but it gives you the tools for performance and system monitoring. If you connect it with a tablet, you can set up a custom digital gauge cluster to show any parameters the PCM is monitoring.
R.t
Sneaky, I like it.
Great idea.
EverythingonWheels Maybe for guys buying auction vehicles to resell? No bulky scanner... Pull the driver out of your pocket and BOOM! You got it!
EverythingonWheels I went on Amazon to look at this, one of the reviews is written by a guy who flips cars. He takes this tool to auctions and uses it on his lot to demonstrate to customers that the car is running free of error codes. He swears by it and wrote a five-star glowing review.
Had this for a few years now. I love it! Really cool how you can drive and see the live diagnostics. Well worth the price.
Thanks Scotty! I have learned more about repairing my family's 5 vehicles than anyone else. I have this scan tool and it is excellent. Much better than another one I bought that still sells for $80. It was able even to pull the error codes from the heated seat of my Yukon the other code reader did not do that.
scotty uses his phone as a screw driver man that's funny🤣
What was that other reader?
"you can see it's on it's BLUE now" 😂
I've got one of these BlurDriver readers and think it is great. It will read codes for all the systems in your vehicle. I like how the app remembers the vehicles you've worked on. Worth the money for a company that continually supports their product.
Does it read transmission codes?
Im so impressed with the info Scotty provides to us trust me when I figure out how to set up a meeting in Houston with him....im giving a donation in support. Thank you Scotty
The world is a better place because of Scotty!..
Scotty: "just don't try to use it [phone] as a screwdriver"
* goes back and continues to try and use it as a screwdriver
Gotta love Scotty! He can cram more useful info in a 2.29 minute video where it takes others 20 - 30 minutes. Great job! I'm sold, I've bought my BlueDriver already!
I love mine! Been using it for a year now and they have great customer service as well.
Can you clear abs codes?
Scotty is a walking encyclopedia (for those of you who remember encyclopedias) of auto information. Very much appreciated Scotty!
That's a very nice device.
I've found it mostly useless. The graphical interfaces are very clunky. The mode 6 data only shows PID numbers without any identifiers that tell you what is being measured. It has a lot of problems connecting through bluetooth, and remaining connected. It claims to report SRS/ABS codes, but my SRS light is on and it reports no codes stored.
@@anti0918 Thanks for your report.
That's what she said.
@@anti0918 which one would you recommend then?
I dont get why you get all that hate you showed in your previous videos, you make fast, precise and informative videos and i love them! So dont pay much attention to them, but please do keep making Scotty's burns, they are quite amusing.
I plan to, thanks!
Relax. Nobody hates Scotty Kilmer
Scotty is on my top five youtubers list.
WOW, was going to ask Scotty about this BlueDriver device. Turns out he reviewed and recommended it.
Thank you a lot, Scotty Kilmer.
Bought one and the live data was great with checking A/F sensor readings, MAFS intake reading, fuel trims, and a lot of other info at low cost!!
Blue Driver is great.. it now provides full dealer level, all module scanning for BMW’s, at first it was only domestic vehicles, and they keep adding full support for different brands.
Love this product. Had it for a year now.
Good to know ! Thanks for posting ! Its nice to hear a review from a real world user of a year of service.
OcRefrigeration,Hvac & Electrical. Lol. Well its good so far.
Has it reported any problems?
Can that work with Nissan sunny
Just put one in my basket. My wife's 09 rav4 has a bunch of different lights on that are driving us both nuts. Now I can find out what the problems are. Only mechanic I trust. Thank you Scotty.
I have had one of these for quite some time now. 5 or 6 yrs. They do way more than $100 dongle you buy at the local parts shop. Live data is nice, saves reports for printing or viewing later, and give details on how common the fault is and what the most common solutions are. Its not a professional tool, it lacks the ability to command different systems and pull air bag codes (though it can pull air bag codes on some vehicles I suspect licensing issues) Great tool for the diy or backyard mechanic, I do not regret spending the $100 on this at all.
I love my BlueDriver. Best $90 I ever spent. I use it on my cars. I've used it on friends' cars to check codes BEFORE they go to their mechanics. My BlueDriver has been dead accurate in every scan result.
Do you leave you plugged in? Or only plug in when you want a reading?
Scotty you are Da Bomb, you
Hilarious, you kill me laughing.
You the Koolest, Thanks for sharing all this useful info
And for the humor too 👍👏
Scotty your doing great love the vids cant get enough of your knowledge thank you so much you have help me with alot keep up the great work
I bought the fixd diagnostic scanner for my farm truck it works really well it tells you the problem then gives directions on how to fix it
I love it when your cat makes an appearance. Makes the great Scotty Kilmer seem more human!
I always tend to like people a little better when they have a cat. It shows they have a heart.
Omg Scotty your subs have been rising exponentially, I've been here since 40k
I subbed today because I've been watching him since easily 40k as well. He doesn't ask for donations, and he's a good source for comedic info! He's easily earned it.
I need this in my life. Thanks for the video Scotty! Keep up the great work!
Scotty thanks for the review! Love the BlueDriver Tool! Helped a lot with my 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi! Thanks for all your great videos!
I own 1, I've had it for about a couple years now and when I'm doing side jobs and when I'm going to buy a car that I'm going to flip I can see what's going on in depth and even see that last time a code was cleared
Hey Scotty, this is a super cool tool especially for someone who buys used cars to flip, especially on the test drive this would be amazing to have! Thanks for the video.
+Car geek 101 thanks for watching!
This tool is AWESOME! Have had it for a few years and it just continues to impress me. Well worth it!
Even though this video is 5 years old, I still used the link to give Scotty credit for my purchase of the bluedriver. It’s still getting good reviews. I just ordered mine and I’m. Looking forward to it. Hope to use it on multiple vehicles in family, and help sister check out used cars for purchase.
How is it working for you.
wow this is more in depth than some of the scan tools out there! :O
Armour Shooter 💀😂
And the app owner updates the app regularly! Something a scanner tool might not do. Or you may have to pay a fee for latest and greatest info.
I saw a app/code system called FixD. FixD is around $59.00. 🚘
Honestly, I’d rather pay $109 total for this than $350-$500 on a OBD2 that does significant less. So yeah, it’s much more in depth because it’s the perfect OBD2. It’s nothing like that OB-S out there.😂
I'm frustrated to see guys explaining 20 min videos things that are done in less than 5! Congratulations on your effectiveness...Old but Gold! 😎
I watch Scotty videos even when absolutely nothing is wrong with my car lol he just makes me happy 🤣
I bought this yesterday for my F250!! Works great!! Thank u
THANK YOU! this guy is smart.
Love scotty and love the blue driver! Not only did it save me money but helped me become more mechanically inclined. I fixed 2 of my cars issues and my mom's.
I just purchased one. Thank you Scotty. I just love your videos and your presentation! 👍❤️
Thank you for the hint and the demonstration Scotty, I just ordered mine.
I've been using my phone all this time to watch Scotty Kilmer videos.
Watch some Milton friedman
By watching scotty kilmer channel ;)
nice, thanks for watching!
I learned something new today! Thanks buddy! I’m going to be picking up one of those blue drivers now
Thanks, Scotty appreciate what your doing.
I just bought a BlueDriver with your link, can't wait to use it. Merry Christmas.
I got the blue driver based on Scotty’s advices and it has helped me to make sure my car will pass emissions and it helped me to pinpoint what the problem was when one of the ignition coils went bad. Handy tool. 👍🏼
Not only did Scotty's car get an OBD test, it got a cat scan as well.
Just purchased one. Thanks Scotty. I just love your videos and your presentation!
Been using it for 3 years now. Great little piece of gear that everyone should own.
Thanks to you Scotty I am a proud owner of a BlueDriver!
Im a simple man I see a video from Scotty Kilmer I click like
Scotty, I love your videos! Informative with fun and entertainment. I just bought a bluedriver and it is all that I hoped for. P.S. - I hope your cute cat purrs as well as your cars do!
Glad to hear it, thanks for the support 👍
Can you send it to me to verfy if can work with Nissan sunny ?
I had a 95 Celica Gt got rid of it kind of at your advice (clutch cable went out) and I got a 2004 4runner. Now I am buying this device cuz of your recommendation. Thanks for being direct about things
Scotty: that's why I dont do advertisement
Also scotty:
Advertisement includes being paid to do it. I seriously doubt he does that. I would almost bet money that he paid for the device without receiving sponsorship.
If you have a Lexus, Toyota or Scion you can buy the factory techstream software on a disc and a usb obd2 cable for about $30 on ebay. You can do live function tests and adjust setting that only dealers could. It also read abs, air bag, transmission, engine and body codes as well. Best $30 I have spent.
Eman 08 True but the Chinese ones do almost all what 500$ devices do except the reflashing ECUs which u hv to pay more $$ to toyota each time you need to use that service even if u already paid 500$!! i never heard a hacked techstream damaged any car entire electrical system🤤🤤
A lot of older earlier versions had malware & problems but the later version I bought did not. I thought the same skeptical way as you did but it is the full software and I scanned the disc for malware/viruses before I installed anything. Nothing was ever damaged nor did I receive false readings on my Lexus GS300 and I have used this software and USB cable on about 20 different Toyota and Lexus vehicles. Program new keys, read engine/air bag codes, change climate program settings, live function tests of actuators, live data of sensors plus sooo many more features I have personally customized and gone through. Why go to the dealer and let them charge you almost $100 for personalizing certain features when you can do it yourself at anytime for a third of the price? The only thing it can not do is reflash ECU's but if you can not admit for $30 you get what your $500 device can mostly do then your crazy. I am glad I sold my Snap-On Solus just in time too because I knew all these knockoffs were going to take over for other vehicle makes as well and they are only going to get better in time...
Eman 08 lmao just the cable itself is "Chinese junk" the software is the same stuff as the dealership
Shwalker07 yuotub
Ducky1521 he's a mechanic, he doesn't want people to do things for themselves so we can go to him
I bought this device based on Scottys video and it works great. Best money I’ve spent in a long time. My Japanese built Toyota is running perfectly. Purrs like a cat so I’m getting a Scotty cat pillow for my rear window.
It actually tells you what the problem is and how to fix it! With links to websites for parts and video tutorials. Its awesome
That's the app, not the adapter. Apps like Torque have been doing the same thing for years.
The tool and app work together.@@conchobar
Hi Scotty, Does this scanner work well with Subaru models
You should check out the torque app. It pairs with any of those devices and gives all real time info available. I'm talking timing and fuel pressure.
Cost any $?
@@liveandletlive2894 nope
@@odijamco I have that app yet it barely gives me any info....can you send me a link to the one you have plz!
Perfect!!! I knew if I searched "Scotty Kilmer OBD2", you would have a vid recommending the best Bluetooth diagnostic scanner :) Thanks mate
I LOVE BLUEDRIVER. It's awesome. It saved me $$$$ by giving me the codes AND suggested repairs. All worked.
Will it give you fuel trim, TPS, MAF, MAP, etc?
Do you still recommend this tool after 4 years?
Lots of informative videos, and attractive way to demonstrate it too.
I'm subscribing now!
Just gotta love todays tech. Thanks for the video.
Ha! I didn't even know Scottie endorsed this before I bought one. I compared data from this to my friends 2 year old SnapOn Solus and the bluedriver actually gave me more info thru the OBD ports than the SnapOn. Of course with the SnapOn there are more adapters for proprietary dealer adapters but as for standard OBD2 this thing is the best.
For example, my 98 Nissan Altima is OBD2 but it also has the proprietary Nissan connector. The bluedriver read more than the SnapOn scanner did. Even after I invested in the proprietary adapter for the SnapOn expecting to learn more info about my cars problem it still didn't offer as much info as the bluedriver. So needless to say I'm impressed
I have this Blue Driver & let me tell you, it's AWESOME!!! when i got a "check engine" light i used it to see what codes were in it. & then once i find the codes i screenshot it & then see the other info. I love clicking on the smog check & mode 6 for more info on the car.
I helped out my friends cars & my family's car just by using this scan tool. Best part cuz it works through bluetooth u can use your phone & tablet.
Last time when i used it for the check engine light i saw the codes, then rather than clearing it i decided to just go to our mechanic & screenshot the codes i got.
He used his real scan tool & let me tell u this, it READ THE EXACT SAME CODES from my Blue Driver. i went "i dont need a 3,000 scan tool when mine can read the same codes for 100$
Does it read ABS codes?
Hey there Scotty, I have a 2004 chevy tahoe that will slightly jerk during mid to high speeds acceleration usually uphill. Been reading that could be caused by fuel injectors, bad cat,dirty plugs. Is there a Bluetooth scanner that I could run while duplicating the jerking and then analyze data? There is no check engine light. Thanks
I love your videos Scotty. Your straight to the poin info is the best. I'm glad you havent leftyoutube my friend. Every tine I get a different kind of vehicle I have a group of youtube channels, I have had you in my list for a VERY long time.
Thankyou Scotty.
REV UP YOUR ENGINES!!!!
(before you do, let the engine warm up first or yul lock it up!)
Don’t rev a 4 cylinder, it’ll sound like a dirt bike... unless you’ve checked all the plugs, the intake is clean and you’ve made sure that you don’t rev it past 3500-4000 rpm when the engine is warm enough to Lower the idle.
Love seeing your cat, Scotty!
Creepy
CastrejonHDTV Yes you are
Pause
Cats are, I my opinion, the second greatest creatures to be birthed on this earth, with the first being humanity of course.

Edit: There is no creature that lives and breathes upon the earth greater than man.
Great video ! Question, do you really need a scan tool to swap out a bad throttle body or any of its components? Maybe you can make a video on it. I’ve had a few issues with “Engine Power Reduced” on a 2010 Yukon Denali Hybrid.
Hi Scotty,
Which one do you like better? The bluedriver or the Topdon AL201 OBD2 DTC Code Reader.
Thanks.
Hey Scotty! I’m just 12 but your videos help me a lot.I show them to my dad with an x-trail on its last legs and he was able to maintain it better.Thanks Scotty! Regards from the Philippines!
glad to hear it, thanks for the support!

Lot of bank for the buck here!
Love that scan tool bluedriver. Help me out a lot to fix my vehicle
I bought one of these for $4 on eBay and it does a hell of a lot more than this one with an app called "torque" on Android.
dacasman torque is an awesome app huh. Best app
I have ever heard of.
Shame they do engine data only...
Love torque
Got Torque Pro for my diesel truck. Love it
@@MrJObajobas that is what is so awesome about bluedriver it does everything. Abs airbag body transmission and engine.
Hey Scotty, I don't want to be repetitious but after all these years I still think you're the best mechanic in the world. Keep them coming Scotty. We're counting on you.
AND THE LOUDEST
Thanks for this tip, Scotty. The Blue Driver is a great tool.
Got one for Christmas thanks Scottie for additional knowledge.
scotty, you are my hero! I think I have watched every single video of yours!
thanks for the support!
you are very welcome
Scotty I noticed this video is 5 years old already. You also have made other videos on OBD II readers and said they are the best as well. We are in Dec 2022 now and I trust your advice. With that said, what is the best Bluetooth OBD II scanner that you recommend today? Thanks in advance.
Jeff
he gets paid to do these scanner reviews
I like this. Grew up working on carbs , vacuum lines and points. Old school. With electronic everything this here will save me $$ . Im sold
Great for codes, true.
Previously I had a $19. Foseal wifi scan tool which displayed battery voltage, trip map with speed history, trouble codes and freeze frame data!
Unfortunately it lasted about 2 years.
Now I have the BlueDriver thanks to Mr. Scotty’s advice.
Great for codes but no battery voltage or trip map.

Can’t use a phone as a screwdriver but it can be used as a hammer.
Close enough
if you wanna break your phone yeah
Bmw M3 e46 people do test on today phone can act as hammer
A Nokia can
25 year old phones are hammer
Blue Driver will help you prevent total car cat-astrophe!
I see what you did there. Points
I know cars had cats but this is ridiculous... too much?
I've had my Blue Driver for a few years and it's by far the best scan tool I've ever used.
I own the BlueDriver and it is a great investment and far better than the standalone units that for a descent one cost way more than $90 (and as Scotty said they don’t do anything close to what the bluedriver does). Also the Bluedriver is much more portable!!!
nice video
Anyone know whats better this or FIXD?
FixD or fixed 🚗🚘📱. $59.00 USD. I looked at the site. I dont own it but it says it can work on gas powered cars 1996 & up. 👍. I dont think it does emissions & smog checks or if factory notices are involved. Fixd app does let you know what's wrong & general estimate of auto repair costs.
Thanks Scotty, excellent information as always!👍😃
