Why Official OBDAI Hardware?

OBDAI works with most ELM327-compatible adapters, but we recommend our Gen 1 or Gen 2 hardware for these reasons:

✅ Quality Guaranteed

We test every batch. Generic ELM327 adapters from Amazon/eBay vary wildly in quality – many use counterfeit chips that fail quickly or don’t support all features.

🔧 Full Support

We can troubleshoot connection issues and firmware problems. We can’t diagnose or fix issues with third-party hardware we don’t control.

⚡ Optimized Firmware

Our adapters are configured specifically for OBDAI’s advanced features and AI processing. Generic adapters may not support all functionality or have slower response times.

🛡️ Warranty Coverage

1-year manufacturer warranty. Defective units replaced free of charge. Third-party hardware has no OBDAI warranty or support.

This is one of TWO official OBDAI-recommended adapters (Gen 1 and Gen 2). Choose Gen 1 for reliable, affordable performance.

🌍 Shipping & Support

Free Worldwide Shipping: Your OBDAI Gen 1 scanner ships within 1-2 business days. Most orders arrive within 10-15 business days. Import duties and VAT (where applicable) are customer responsibility.

Download OBDAI App: Available free on Windows (Microsoft Store), iOS (App Store), and Android (Google Play). Free features work immediately. Premium features require subscription ($4.99/month or $49.99/year).

Technical Support: Hardware warranty and troubleshooting support via email. Typical response time: 48 hours.

6 reviews for OBDAI Scanner GEN 1 Device Only

  1. Matt K

    Exactly what I needed

    Already had OBDAI premium through the app store and just needed reliable hardware. This does the job perfectly. Connects fast and stays connected. No frills but thats what I wanted.

  2. Rick D

    Solid upgrade from my Amazon cheapie

    My old generic dongle dropped connection constantly. This one pairs in seconds and stays rock solid. Worth the few extra bucks if youre tired of fighting with unreliable hardware.

  3. Carlos M

    Perfect for existing subscribers

    If you already pay for OBDAI premium this is the move. Why buy a bundle when you just need the scanner. Shipped quick works great no complaints.

  4. James T

    Good hardware fair price

    Does what it says. Bluetooth range is decent maybe 15 feet before it gets spotty. Would be nice if it came with a little carrying case but thats a minor complaint. Works great with the OBDAI app.

  5. Steve B

    Gets the job done

    Nothing fancy but reliable. Ive used it on three different cars now with no issues. Wish the LED indicator was a bit brighter but thats nitpicking. Good value.

  6. Dan W

    Replaced my broken scanner

    Old scanner died and I already had the OBDAI subscription so this was perfect. Took maybe 30 seconds to pair. Build quality seems decent well see how it holds up. So far so good.

FAQ

One OBDAI B02L4 Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, a 1-year Premium subscription ($49.99 value), and a license code for activation.

You’ll receive a unique activation code by email. Enter it in the OBDAI app on your device to unlock Premium. The code binds to that device and cannot be reused or transferred.

The OBDAI GEN 1 device supports ISO-based OBD2 protocols (ISO9141, ISO14230, ISO15765/CAN). It works with most vehicles worldwide that use these standards, but does not support J1850 or other non-ISO protocols. If your vehicle requires J1850 support, you’ll need the OBDAI Gen 1 Pro device. Please check your vehicle’s OBD2 standard before purchase.

OBDAI runs on iOS, Android, and Windows. Each license code activates Premium on a single device (phone, tablet, or PC). To use Premium on multiple devices, you’ll need additional codes.

Yes. OBDAI GEN 1 device is a standard ELM327 adapter compatible with apps like Torque and OBD Fusion. OBDAI Premium features (Visual AI, repair videos) are exclusive to OBDAI.

U.S. orders ship in 3–5 business days. International orders usually take 7–14 business days. Tracking is provided. Import duties/taxes are the customer’s responsibility.

We’ll send a free replacement within the first year. Your Premium subscription remains active during the process. Contact support@obdai.app with your order number.

Yes. The license code can be activated by the recipient on their own device. This makes OBDAI bundles ideal for gifts or for businesses purchasing codes for employees/fleet use.

Free OBDAI features remain available indefinitely. To keep Premium features, renew at $49.99/year or $4.99/month. The dongle continues working regardless of subscription status.

Yes. The dongle is covered by a 1-year warranty against defects and connectivity issues. This warranty applies to hardware only, not subscription time.
