• OBD2 Adapter - An OBD2 (On-Board Diagnostics II) adapter is a device used to interface with a vehicle's onboard computer system. It connects to the OBD2 port, typically located under the dashboard, and communicates with the vehicle's computer to retrieve diagnostic information and real-time data about the vehicle's performance, including engine parameters, sensor readings, and trouble codes. The purpose of an OBD2 adapter is to enable vehicle diagnostics, monitoring, and data logging, allowing users to diagnose issues, track vehicle performance, and potentially improve fuel efficiency and driving habits through compatible software applications or platforms. These adapters are commonly used by mechanics, automotive enthusiasts, and fleet managers for vehicle maintenance, performance tuning, and troubleshooting.
