Lemur Monitors BlueDriver: Auto Diagnostics Tool
There is nothing quite as stressful as that yellow check engine light coming on. Especially if you are not the most car savvy person or you know.., if you don’t have the needed diagnostic tools for your computer-controlled modern car.. I usually just picture all the money that light is going to cost me. But no more!
It used to be that you would have to take your car to a mechanic to have it diagnosed but that is becoming a thing of the past, especially for DIY minded people. Lemur Monitors BlueDriver is a scan device that connects up with your cars OBD2 port to interface with your cars computer to instantly read and diagnose car codes. What sets BlueDriver apart from other OBD2 scanning devices is that you can do it all from the convenience of your smartphone via bluetooth! It literally turns your phone into a professional grade auto diagnostics tool.
check your car’s engine performance, examine error codes, turn off a check engine light, and even get an idea if your car will pass its emissions testing.
The free BlueDriver app runs on iOS and Android devices while the Bluedriver dongle will obviously only connect with cars with an OBD2 port. All 1996 and newer cars have them. The (free) basic Lemur Monitors’ BlueDriver OBD2 scan tool app lets you scan codes, clear codes, freeze frame a code, check anti-lock brake system (ABS) codes for Ford/GM/Chrysler, view interactive system gauges, and email scan results and logsRead & clear diagnostic trouble codes.
The application provides complete information about the trouble codes which in some cases may be incomprehensible to the average car owner without the help of sites like OBD-Codes.com. If you aren’t particularly handy you can still garner enough information from the tool that you can go to your mechanic a little bit more informed about what your car really needs done.
Using Bluedriver is easy. Just download the free BlueDriver app and plug in the BlueDriver then simply pair your smartphone with the Bluedriver dongle– it’s that easy! It will even generate vehicle specific information such as code definition, possible causes and repair recommendations. I love that you can use it to check whether or not your vehicle is ready for local emissions tests. No more repeat testing and shelling out the fee again and again just so you can drive your car!
This can be a huge money saver and gets two big thumbs up from me!
Buy it:
Available to purchase at lemurmonitors.com for only $99.95
VERY handy indeed… Simple device, but it could end up saving you a lot of money in the end!
I love this!! Seriously think I should add this to my Christmas list! Every time I got gas in my previous car, the check engine light would come on. Drive me crazy. This would have been so helpful!!
this sounds like a handy little device to have and it could certainly save you money if used regularly. It’s super that it even gives you vehicle specific information such as code definition, possible causes and repair recommendations.
Looks like I will be doing a little bit more research
Handy! I think I’ll have to add this to my wish list. I hate paying mechanics to do stuff my husband could’ve done much cheaper!
this is so awesome!! my husband could totally use this. i think i might have to get it for him for christmas 🙂
What a great device. Very useful!
This would make a great gift for my husband this Christmas. I love that it gives you more knowledge into what a potential problem could be.
What a cool gadget,this would be a nice gift for Hubby
My hubby would probably love this. He is in charge of all the car stuff in our house!
The BlueDriver is a fantastic tool for drivers. Thinking of buying one tomorrow.
That is a brilliant tool. It would be good to go into get your car fixed knowing what had to be done beforehand.
This would totally come in handy for me. I am always trying to fix my own vehicle when it breaks down.
We have a similar device that is bluetooth and works with an app. The peace of mind, being able to communicate with my car is priceless. We have even considered giving a few as gifts!
I would have no idea what to do with that information, but my husband sure would. I’m going to tell him about this amazing little doo dad.
What a cool gizmo. My husband is a bit of a DIY mechanic, so this would be a great gift for him.
Mike would love this! He’s an amateur gear head, and he loves his car.
I’m not the greatest when it comes to cars, so this would be a great toy for me to use so I don’t end up spending tons of money on my car!
Wow. Technology sure has come a long way. Now we can just plug a gadget into our cars and see what’s going on. I remember when the Apple 2 E was the next big thing.
Talk about a useful and handy device! I’ll have to tell my hubby about it, I’m sure it will make the Christmas wishlist!
This is a very cool gadget. My hubby loves this kind of techy stuff and would love to get one for Christmas! I know what to add to the gift list! Thanks for the great idea!
This sounds like a great tool to have. I have taken my car to the auto parts store to have this done. It would be nice to do it myself.
That is really cool! I really like this because it can give me an idea of what needs to be done and if my mechanic is trying to rip me off.
This sounds so handy! My hubby would love one of these.
My dad and I were just talking about the check engine light today!. I am going to tell him about this,.
I am definitely going to add this to my Christmas list. So freaking cool!
This would be a great tool to have at home. Garages can be costly to run a simple test you can now do at home.
Oh i will have to tell my husband about this, sounds like something he would be interested in.
We have the CarMD which is similar and we’ve used it often. It’s a great device to take with you when you’re buying a car.
One of our friends back home had one of these and it was neat to see it tell you what is wrong. It is a nice item to have if your care is not under warranty and you are able to fix it yourself. It also helps you know the mechanic is not pulling one over on you on needed repairs.
This is really cool. I know there has been many times when we need to see what is going on with our car “main req” . It’s like a reassurance if it’s something that needs a tow truck or you can drive your car to a mechanic.
We used to have another auto Dx tool, but forgot to keep it when we sold the car. I’d love to get this one as a replacement!
Oh my goodness, we totally need this. Hubby is forever taking his truck in for diagnosis and this would be so much easier.
Definitely looking into this as a gift to my boyfriend this Christmas! Would be awesome to save money on auto diagnostics!
Well, THAT’S really cool. I love that I can use it to get a general idea of what might be wrong with my car before taking it to a shop. You can’t trust those guys…
I am so under educated when it comes to cars. I didn’t even realize they had things such as this! I most certainly need to get myself one!
I love this! It would make me feel a lot more knowledgable!
I wouldn’t mind the heads up diagnostics before I take it to a mechanic. I think when you’re armed with knowledge, you’re better off.
This would be a great purchase since we always have to take our vehicles to be scanned and they charge a fee each time – you’d actually be saving money!
This sounds great. I’m going to have to read more about it.
My husband has something just like this. I CS t tell you how many times he has read trouble codes for others!
What a cool device. I like how easy to sync via bluetooth. Great gift idea for any driver friends or family members.
Oh my gosh, I totally want one of these!!
