All model diagnostic from a smartphone

Polo_Cluvie

A mechanic I know ( foreign dude bad English) has a brilliant diagnostic system on his phone. Plugs in an obd reader connects up to it via bt and off he goes. It literally does everything. Epb dpf sas etc etc etc. I asked him where he got it he just says Internet. He uses it on all car makes and models. It's really good. Anyone ever come across something like this?

What car do you have?

Carly is good for German vehicles.

With others it provides standard/basic obd read functionality.

No it's not Carly it's a full system all makes models on the phone

Basically smartphone can run every car make and model but weakest point is that cheap dongle, what support only limited amount protocols. Look, all fancy scanners have a android and BT. Your phone is almost the same good to do similar job (may be slower). And now I gave to you "brilliant" business plane to make another autel, thinktool, snapon etc. Leprechaun scan tool, made in Ireland. No, it is not a joke (I expecting to get the first unit by free). Good VCI and it works like a several thousands tools. How you get all the software? Exactly like everyone else, just stealing it from manufacturers (clean room reverse engineering is still stealing). Sorry, it is too crazy even by standards....Possible but still crazy
