Diagnostics Scanner

Diagnostics for the Check Engine Light
Your Check Engine Light might be on. The VP01 will read error codes using an OBD app so you can determine what’s wrong with your car and maybe avoid a trip and associated costs to the repair for minor concerns. The light can then be reset. It also gives you peace of mind when you need to take the car to a technician. -
Instantaneous Sensor Reading
The computer systems in your car have access to a tonne of data, but the majority of it is not shown on the dashboard. You may access a whole new universe of vehicle-related data straight on your phone or tablet with this device and an OBD App, including Engine coolant & oil temperature, O2 Readings, Mass air flow, Speed, Fuel Trim, etc. -
Works on Windows, Android, and iOS
In order for your phone or tablet to connect, the VP01 establishes its own WiFi. It is advised for iPhone and iPad users who use Apple iOS devices. Android devices can also use the VP01, but you won’t have access to the internet for other programs. If you desire internet connectivity while using Android, we advise using the VP11 or OBDCheck BLE Bluetooth versions.

FAQs
Does this work on Android?****
Yes, it works on Android and iOS.
Does this work on Windows?****
No, it only works on IOS and Android.
Does this work with all cars?****
Yes, it works with 1996 and newer vehicles.
Does this work with all OBD-II protocols?****
Yes, it works with all OBD-II protocols.
Does this work with all WiFi networks?****
Yes, it works with any WiFi network.
Is there an App included with the device?****
No, but there are many great third-party OBD2 apps available to download (some may require purchase) from Google Play Store or Apple App Store. For generic OBD2 features, we recommend Torque Lite (or paid Pro), Car Scanner ELM OBD2, OBD Fusion (paid), Inforcar, etc.
Which connection method does it use?****
The VP01 uses WiFi as a connection method, and it does NOT have a Bluetooth option. It creates its own WiFi (WiFi_OBDII) for your phone or tablet to join in. If you want a Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, please choose the OBDCheck BLE (iOS & Android) or the VP11 (Android only).
Can I leave the device plugged in all the time?****
The WiFi connection consumes more power than Bluetooth, so we suggest that you unplug the device when it’s not used.
What’s the IP address and port number for this device?****
192.168.0.10 & 35000. Most OBD2 Apps have these default values so usually, you do not need to change them.
Can it use to read or reset my ABS, airbag, and other non-Check Engine lights?****
Most OBD2 Apps only provide basic check engine light diagnostics. You will need a capable App that can do enhanced diagnostics on these modules on your specific vehicle, for example, OBD Fusion, OBD JScan, AlfaOBD, Carista OBD, etc. Contact Veepeak or the app developer if you are not sure. An oil change or maintenance-required lights cannot be read or reset since there is no error code for them.
Which sensor data can I get?****
Readable parameters depend on what’s installed on the OBDII system by the manufacturer. Please refer to OBD II PIDs on Wiki. Generally, newer vehicles will give more readings and faster refresh speed.
Does it read transmission temperature?****
The transmission (fluid) temperature is a manufacturer-specific PID so it’s not read by most generic OBD2 Apps. Please contact Veepeak customer support for App recommendations (similar to FAQ 6) or search for the custom PID information on the web & add it to the App. This applies to other manufacturer-specific PIDs.
Will I have internet access when connecting to the device’s WiFi?****
Unfortunately, the answer is no for Android. For iOS devices, you can tap on the “i” icon next to “WiFi_OBDII” and go to the WiFi configuration page, then select Manual for IPV4 and enter the information below: IP 192.168.0.11, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 and Router 192.168.0.10. Your mobile data will be available for internet access.
