Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I connect my FIXD OBD2 Scanner to my iPhone?
A: Simply plug the small OBD2 adapter into your car’s diagnostic port (usually under the dashboard). The FIXD app will automatically detect the connection—no pairing or complex setup required. You’ll typically find this port within 10 feet of the steering wheel.

Q: What kind of support does FIXD offer for interpreting scan results?
A: The app includes detailed explanations for common codes, but we recommend contacting our 24/7 support team if you need clarification on specific issues. We also provide access to certified mechanics through our partnership network for expert advice.

Q: Is the FIXD app compatible with older vehicles that don’t have OBD2 systems?
A: FIXD works with vehicles manufactured in 1996 or newer that meet OBD2 standards (most cars from 1997 onward). For pre-1996 models, the OBD system may be outdated or unavailable, so our scanner won’t provide diagnostic data.

Q: Can I monitor my car’s performance continuously using just my smartphone?
A: Yes—the FIXD app allows you to monitor live data while driving through your iPhone’s Bluetooth connection. You’ll see real-time metrics like engine load, fuel trim, and oxygen sensor readings—keeping your vehicle’s health top-of-mind during every trip.

Q: How often should I scan my car’s engine for trouble codes?
A: We recommend scanning your vehicle whenever you notice unusual symptoms (check engine light, rough idle, etc.), after repairs, or during routine maintenance (typically 6-12 month intervals). The app’s smart alerts will remind you when it’s time for a scan based on your mileage and vehicle needs.
