The OBDKey is a match box sized portable scan tool used to quickly and easily to diagnose vehicle problems.

The OBDKey Unit

Owning a small portable scan tool is essential to monitor the healthy state of your vehicle's engine management system for regular check-ups between services and maintenance periods.

The OBDKey is available with a USB connection or a Bluetooth interface. OBDKey is also available as a stand alone vehicle data logger (ask for more details as this is often customised to suit your needs).

The Bluetooth connection is usually preferred where you prefer to operate a wire-free diagnostic environment.

The USB connection is usually preferred where you already have a PC or laptop equipped with a USB port.

Bluetooth offers a very flexible option as many handheld devices such as Pocket PC's, PDA's, Palm devices and mobile phones have Bluetooth built in. This means you can use your own handheld device to access the vehicle data with the OBDKey.

Software is supplied for the PC and Pocket PC (PDA, Windows CE). Palm, Windows Smartphones and Java versions are also available.
