The BlueDriver from Lemur is a scan tool app that uses a blue tooth interface to communicate with your OBDII vehicle. It has many on board features that allow you to read codes, file repair reports, do a quick smog check, or view live data. You can also read ABS codes for most domestic makes. Not long ago I did a review on the Actron from OTC, I think this tool is comparable to that tool. They both have similar features with the exception that the BlueDriver does not require additional software to be purchased a la carte. This ability gives this tool something of an edge when it comes to price however it does not do everything the Actron does. Before you say ‘Torque app’, I’m aware of it, I just haven’t reviewed it.

Would have been nice to see actual codes conditions that this thing can show and even suggested fixes. I have used Bosch scanners at O'Reillys free test engine light check program and find them satisfactory. They are back to Innova which I don't care for as much. Disappointed that this tool starts charging you for reports after the first 5. The free check engine codes scheme is a great money maker for the auto stores as I have bought and replaced a small handful of sensors to get the car back right.
Yes, I agree a good review, but the value of the tool, any tool, is what it will do under the conditions it was designed. A car or truck with a check engine light would have shown the value of this scanner under real world conditions.
this is very dated, i dont think theres in-app purchases anymore, just purchased one coming in tomorrow, i believe u get lifetime updates and u hav access to all functions and reports
Is the app proprietary to to one specific vehicle per account? Or can many Additional vehicle’s be used and information stacked in memory of device or iPhone?
I think I understand you say To Get more detail code information after 5 Free codes Trial with detailed information then one has to pay more money for additional codes read with the same quality information as 5 free trial codes?
Thank you ,

Yeah, where might this technology be going. One day the police pull you over and scan your obd port/computer and find out exactly how fast you were going and whether you came to a complete stop at that traffic sign or not. Lol-not! Great review Eric.
Does it do distance to empty?
Does it do mph and you can calibrate the mph?
Why do a review of a diagnostic scanner on a car you know doesn't have any fault codes on 🙄🙄🙄

Chevrolet introduced the VIC or Vehicle Information Center some years ago. My 2009 Suburban has it. Originally you code program new Keyless Entry remotes with this. However, that option has disappeared.
Do you know why? Apparently I’m not alone. Is there away to program Keyless entry remotes with paying the dealer?
Thanks for all you do!

I can't get mine to pair. That part in this review failed to disclose the techniques he used to finally pair his device. He also states he thought it had some thing to do with his phone. Why? What did he change, add or activate on his phone to fix the failed paring? As usual, the error states to check my settings on my phone. Check which settings? Give me a break.
i have cant connect to toyota
They need to include this capability into new gasoline cars with the touch-screens they are putting in with them before electric cars takeover. Onboard diagnostics can save fossil fuel cars.
So for a hundred bucks, it reads codes. This review didn't impress me at all. Autozone reads codes for FREE.
Thanks for the review but I'm more interested in what it can't do.
ERIC please review FIXD APP car diagnostic app. how effective is it?
Can this read oil pressure on 2007 Cadillac Escalade
Bought this because my dealer told me it would cost 300$ to just diagnose lol why wouldnt I just buy this for $100
Get some sleep for god’s sakes.
What about codes that was cleared or hidden codes?
Yep, it's time for cars to be AI capapble and just talk to you and tell you what's wrong witht the car, instead of all this troubleshooting. Like your wife, "No honey, not tonight, I have a headache".
BAD, VERY BAD PRODUCT (read carefully): these product not compatible with many people car – even with mine as well. There is lots of people/victim who bough this based on misleading adverts and supported influence people video, but the truth is the next: simple chinese product with many compatibility issue, and the program not the best as well, if you want to buy any reader, that firstly try to finding compatibility pages, these company have one, and you can be happy if your car on the list, but!! DO NOT BUY THESE PRODUCT WITHOUT CHECKING THE COMPATIBILITY LIST, if yours not in it, than CHOICE ANOTHER CHEAP PRODUCTS, like DELPHI (cheap, and their compatibility list more bigger … – they not misleading you, just simple way they giving a reader with really big databases, or try to finding that kind of products, which compatible with torque pro program – I think this is the best program)
Will it let me know if I have a misfire/bad spark plug?
So wait, it will give you the code but not what the code actually is unless you pay? Wtf…
Will this clear my vsa light ?
does it reset and clear vsa and airbag lights
have you checked Collision Sciences! They catch all the accidents on a vehicle – EVEN THE ONES NOT LISTED BY CARFAX – I had 3000 taken off the price on my car because it caught an accident that wasn't listed on the carfax! Totally worth looking at…would probably make an awesome video. Anyway…love your stuff Eric!

Eric, will this work on my apple I-pad- ,what does it cost ?
Eric.
I just purchased this as I was having issues with a 2007 grand Cherokee. And,esp, traction control, unit found a bad wheel sensor along with my backup module, ignition switch and dam near 15 recalls that never got handle. Also used it on a used car my daughter was looking at . It showed what codes had been cleared by the stealership. Well worth the price for the backyard mechanic like myself.
Scotty approved
will this find the individual abs codes? or is it just a generic code. like will it find the wheel sensor that failed and or the abs module? and the srs codes or just generic
JDiag m2 better,the code show what case the problems
You've given the most honest and detail review of the Bluedriver, thus far; thanks, and have a happy new year!
Good day, would this work with my Samsung J7? I desperately need to know.
