Vgate iCar Pro V2.2 OBDII BLE 4.0 Bluetooth Scanner Supports All Protocols

The Vgate iCar Pro V2.2 is a compact and reliable OBDII diagnostic scanner that connects via Bluetooth 4.0 BLE, Bluetooth 3.0, or WiFi to your Android or iOS device. It reads both generic and manufacturer-specific diagnostic trouble codes, with over 3,000 built-in code definitions to help you understand what is wrong with your vehicle. Clear the check engine light and monitor live data such as engine RPM, coolant temperature, vehicle speed, fuel pressure, and oxygen sensor voltages. This tool is suited for both professional mechanics and DIY car owners who want to diagnose vehicle issues without a trip to the garage.

Features and Protocol Support

This scanner is built to support the full range of OBD-II protocols used in most cars, light trucks, and SUVs sold over the past two decades. Hardware version V2.2 ensures stable communication with a wide variety of electronic control units.

Protocol Compatibility

It supports SAE J1850 PWM and VPW, ISO9141-2, ISO14230-4 KWP (both 5 baud init and fast init), ISO15765-4 CAN at 11-bit and 29-bit IDs with 500 and 250 Kbaud, SAE J1939 CAN at 250 Kbaud, and user-configurable CAN at 125 and 50 Kbaud. This broad coverage means it works with most petrol and diesel vehicles from 1996 onwards in the US and 2001 onwards in the EU.

Bluetooth and WiFi Connectivity

Three connection methods give you flexibility: Bluetooth 3.0 for Android, Bluetooth 4.0 BLE for Android and iOS, and WiFi for both platforms. The Bluetooth 4.0 BLE version provides lower power consumption and faster pairing. No internet connection is required once the app is installed, making it suitable for roadside use.

Live Data Parameters

Real-time data includes engine RPM, calculated load value, coolant temperature, fuel system status, vehicle speed, short and long term fuel trims, intake manifold pressure, timing advance, intake air temperature, air flow rate, absolute throttle position, oxygen sensor voltages, fuel pressure, and many more parameters depending on the vehicle and app.

Practical Use and Benefits

Using the Vgate iCar Pro V2.2 is straightforward. Plug it into the OBDII port, start the engine, open your diagnostic app, and connect via Bluetooth or WiFi. Readings appear quickly without complex setup.

Diagnosing Check Engine Light

When the check engine light illuminates, simply connect the scanner and retrieve the trouble code. Built-in definitions explain what each code means, so you can decide whether the issue is minor or requires professional attention. Clearing codes after repair is equally simple.

Monitoring Vehicle Health

Live data streams help you monitor engine performance, detect sensor faults before they cause driveability issues, and verify repairs. For example, monitoring coolant temperature can alert you to overheating risks before they become serious.

Compatible Apps

The adapter works with many popular third-party diagnostic apps available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, including Torque, OBD Car Doctor, and DashCommand. The included user manual provides connection guidance for each app.

Technical Specifications and Build Quality

The Vgate iCar Pro V2.2 is a compact black unit designed for in-vehicle use. Its robust electronics are housed in a durable plastic casing that withstands under-dash temperatures and vibrations.

Electrical Ratings

Supply voltage range is 11.5V to 15V DC, drawing less than 200mA during operation. Standby current is under 30mA, so it places minimal drain on the vehicle battery when left plugged in.

Environmental Tolerance

Operating temperature range spans -40°C to 85°C, and humidity tolerance is 5% to 95% RH non-dewfall. This allows use in extreme climates, from freezing winters to hot desert summers, without performance degradation.

Package Contents

Each package contains one Vgate iCar Pro V2.2 OBDII adapter and one user manual. No separate power adapter is needed as the scanner draws power directly from the vehicle's OBDII port.
