Quick answers
What is a dongle?
A small Bluetooth adapter that plugs into your car's OBD-II port, usually under the dash. It lets your phone talk to the car.
Does it work offline?
Scanning and reading codes work without a connection. Spoken and AI explanations need one.
Which cars does it work with?
Most cars with an OBD-II port. Some newer Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep models (about 2018 on) restrict some functions through a security gateway. PitMate does not bypass it.
Will it work on my car?
We cannot promise it for every car. If your car has an OBD-II port and a supported dongle connects, scanning and live data should work. If something does not, tell us and include the car details.
