Some of lower priced dongles have to use apps made by people outside their company like veepeak. Bluedriver does their own software. They are frequently compared to Obdlink MX which has many fun things bluedriver does not like quarter mile timing if you are a race enthusiast It sells for $140 right now. What bluedrive does that many do not is that you can request it to do a full scan on the car which includes engine, transmission, antilock brakes and air bag errors. With many lower priced scanners they only show the engine. By catching my transmission error of p1811 early I was able to install a $30 kit to avoid a transmission death. My trans is 234K old where I have heard others die as early as 70K. I like bluedriver for watching when I have to get the car smogged it tells me all of the parameters are met before I go in so I am not refused. I put bluedriver on my amazon fire 10 and the graphics show up super nice and very big. When I bought it you could only graph 4 things at once in color. Recently they added 5 things in a free update. To me that is worth 50 more dollars. They also give suggestions with error codes of what to check for. Some suggestions are very thorough and others not so much. Personally I think it is a good value. If you don't like it from Amazon you can send it back up to Jan 31. My $.02.
https://us.bluedriver.com/pages/compatibility will tell you what it will support.
Does this have any added benefits from regular OBDII scanners that go for like ~$20?

I'll throw the comment in that I have multiple OBD2 readers, including expensive bidirectional ones. I find myself using this one the most. It is very compact, so it stays in my glovebox until needed. It reads codes that other readers would not. $70 is a good price and what I've gotten this for a couple of times. Regular price is a stretch.

This device really only works well with their app. It isn't tailored to TorquePro or Forscan like some others are. But their app is excellent, and hasn't ever left me wishing it had the functionality of TorquePro.

For a quick diagnosis tool that's easy to keep handy, it's hard to go wrong with this.

That's the protocol most of these use. ELM themselves went out of business a few months back, but their communication layer is used in lots of products. BlueDriver does not use the ELM327 protocol, though.

It's been dropping to $70 pretty regularly over the last few months.

I recently had my 3rd row seat lock up due to an obstruction (weathertech mats) and the mechanic had to "patch and clear" the error codes using his laptop and it worked! Thankfully..... But would something like this do the same thing? TIA
It's a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica if it matters

Quote from Ch0l0snhipsterz :
I think because its the only one that works with their app. So really it depends how robust their app is. They would of had to input all the possible codes for each manufacturer. Also there is no way the app can detect your car make and model so i assume you have to manually enter that like every other app.

This is really bad when someone with no idea makes these comments. This unit does a sht ton more than a $20 scanner, and in fact does know the make, model, year of the vehicle is hooked to and even gives you the vin # in the ecm.

Not trying to call you out, but basically everything you said was wrong.

Quote from MozartA :
I believe OBDLink MX+ OBD2 has Enhanced OEM support like for certain cars, OBDLink MX+ provide live TPMS info like real time tire pressure which almost no other OBD2 device provide (since those are not part of normal OBD2 info).

Does anyone else know what other OBD2/device provide real time tire pressure for Toyota Prius/Corolla, etc?
Exactly, thats why I returned Bluedriver and bought OBDLink MX+ for $100 on sale.
OBDLink MX+ have many more options, and you can use different apps, but with Bluedriver just one.

So you'd recommend OBDLink MX+ over the blue driver or torque pro with a good dongle? Guess looking at OBDLink MX+ torque pro can be used with it as well.

Amazon reminded me that I bought this in July 2020. I have no idea what has changed but I returned it because it was essentially just a pre-purchase of ODBII connectivity with a boatload of in-app purchases to provide any real value for actual troubleshooting of your particular model of car. I do not know if the business model has changed but wanted to throw that out there.

Does this tell you where battery drains might be located instead of pulling fuses?
No it will not. However, if you buy a decent multimeter and watch some videos you can do this with some time and effort. You will need a wiring diagram if you are going deep into the car. My $.02. Eric O of South main garage divides the wiring diagram in half at times to find a short. Hope this helps.

Yes,
I use OBDLink MX+ with torque pro, Carista, inCarDoc Pro, and my favorite is "Car Scanner" (this app shows a lot of information about car).

With "Carista" and "Car Scanner" you can see TPMS (tire pressure)

Have had one of these for a few years now and love it. I'm just a backyard mechanic with a family and can't afford to pay anyone to work on my cars. Point being I have no experience with any other products like this but I don't feel any need for anything else..great product
