Strion reads live engine data straight from your car through a small OBD2 adapter that plugs in under the dashboard. It powers everything in the app: trip recording, diagnostics, DTC codes and engine health checks. Most gasoline cars sold since 1996 have an OBD2 port.

Where to buy

Our recommendation
Amazon
Vgate iCar2 Bluetooth 4.0 — auto-sleep, works with Android & iOS. Faster shipping.
AliExpress
Budget-friendly option with longer shipping. Make sure the listing says Bluetooth 4.0 (Android & iOS).

Setting it up

  1. 1

    Plug the adapter into your car’s OBD2 port — usually under the dashboard on the driver’s side, near the steering column.

  2. 2

    Turn the ignition on, then pair the adapter in your phone’s Bluetooth settings (it shows up with a name like “IOS-Vlink” or “OBDII”).

  3. 3

    Open Strion, tap Connect Device on the Dashboard, and select your adapter. Trips, diagnostics and health checks unlock from there.
