Edition 02 · most popular
See why the code was set, not just that it was.
A fault code names a symptom. Live data and freeze frame show you the conditions behind it — which sensor drifted, what the engine was doing at the moment the fault was logged, and whether the part you are about to buy is really the problem.

Before it can read anything
AutoScan is software. It talks to your car through an ELM327 adapter that plugs into the OBD2 port under the dashboard — USB for a laptop, Bluetooth for a phone or tablet. We no longer sell hardware, so buy whichever adapter you prefer; AutoScan works with any of them.
Already own one from another tool? Use it. If not, the guide below covers what separates an adapter that works from one that goes back.
The range
Every edition is a one-off purchase with a lifetime licence key. What changes is how deep you can go.
| Edition | Price | Best for | |
|---|---|---|---|
| AutoScan Standard | £24.99 | Reading and clearing codes on your own car | View |
| AutoScan Enhanced You are here | £49.99 | Diagnosing the cause, not just the code | |
| AutoScan Enhanced PLUS | £64.99 | Bluetooth, mobile, and paid work | View |
| AutoScan Enhanced ULTRA | £84.99 | Module-level ECU work | View |

The ECU Tuning Pack and the ECU Repair & Diagnostic Training Guide are add-ons that work with any edition. Both are already included in ULTRA and ULTIMATE.
Questions
Because most parts get replaced on a guess. A P0171 lean code can be a split hose, a tired air-flow sensor or a failing fuel pump, and the fuel trim readings tell you which. Live data is the difference between diagnosing and shopping.
It tells you whether the emissions readiness monitors have completed and whether the engine light would fail the visual check. It cannot predict the rest of the test.
An ELM327 adapter. Any one works — we do not sell them any more, so buy whichever you like. See the guidance further down this page.
Yes. The licence is per person, not per vehicle. It is licensed for personal use; if you are charging customers, you want PLUS or above.
You maintain your own car properly and would rather diagnose than guess. This is the edition most people buy.
