Vgate iCAR PRO 2S | Owner’s Review

One of the best ELM327 adapters on a budget I tested in a long time. Works for both iOS and Android, the connection is easy and it will work with all ELM apps you will find in your app store.

10 My Rating

One of the best choices for your first ELM327 adapters. It will work basically for any app that does not require a high-end fast connection like OBDLink MX+ has.

One of the cheapest adapters that works for both operating systems without any problems.

Pros

  • ELM version 2.3
  • Cheap
  • Works for iOS/Android
