Three things that usually solve it faster

Most support messages we receive are answered by one of these, and you will not have to wait for us.

Watch the setup tutorial

Thirteen short videos covering installation, connecting to the car, reading codes and live data. Most first-run problems are a COM port setting shown in video two.

Check the adapter

AutoScan talks to the car through an ELM327 adapter. A cable that Windows has not assigned a COM port to is the single most common cause of “it will not connect”.

What to include

Help us answer in one reply

  • Your order number, or the email address you bought with
  • Which edition of AutoScan you are running
  • Your Windows version — 10, 11, or older
  • The adapter you are using, USB or Bluetooth
  • The make, model and year of the vehicle
  • What happens, and what you expected to happen instead
A screenshot of the error is worth several paragraphs of description. If the problem needs someone to look at your screen, we can arrange remote assistance.
