Pin16

Car diagnostics with an OBD-II adapter, for Android.

Plug an ELM327-class adapter into the port under your dashboard. Pin16 asks the car what is wrong, reads back the fault codes, and explains each one in plain words — what it means, what usually causes it, and what to check first.

What it does

Fault code dictionary

Every explanation the app carries, on the web: what a code means, what usually causes it and what to check first.

What it does not do

No account, no analytics of its own, and no server of ours. Everything it reads from your car is stored on the phone, encrypted, and leaves only inside a file you send yourself. The app is free and is paid for by advertising, which appears in two places — the code dictionary and the history list — and never while a car is being read. It asks before using your advertising ID, and you can say no.
