How BlueDriver Works
The BlueDriver sensor plugs into your vehicle’s OBD2 port, typically located near the steering wheel. This port is standard in cars manufactured since 1996, ensuring global compatibility. The app connects wirelessly to the sensor, displaying diagnostic information in an easy-to-understand format. While the app is free to download, the BlueDriver Bluetooth® OBD2 Sensor is required for vehicle communication and is sold separately.
Accessing Repair Reports without a Sensor
Even without the sensor, you can explore the power of BlueDriver’s Repair Reports. By entering your vehicle’s VIN and the trouble code, you can generate a preliminary report detailing potential fixes. This allows you to experience the value of BlueDriver’s diagnostic database before purchasing the sensor.

The BlueDriver OBD2 app, combined with the BlueDriver sensor, provides a comprehensive diagnostic solution for all levels of automotive expertise. Whether you’re a seasoned mechanic or a curious car owner, BlueDriver offers the tools to understand and address vehicle problems effectively. From identifying trouble codes to providing detailed repair solutions, BlueDriver puts professional-level diagnostics within reach.
