    Does anybody have the blue driver scanner/app? Has it provided useful data and insight? More than just reading codes and resetting them? Will it tell you if your engine is running lean etc..? Thanks!

    Been using one for a few years. I really like it so much so that when my wife sold her last car with my BlueDriver in it I bought another. I use mine with my iPad and it works great with a massive screen vs other options.

    As far as checking lean conditions I would have to plug it in and check. It was never one of the parameters I was looking for. When I get home later I will check and see if that is a parameter I can measure.

    The guys who made it are local and gave them out for free. I absolutely love it, especially with the live screens. Would buy it if mine broke.

    So in terms of running lean.... I don’t know. There is no fuel to air ratio that I could find but there are a ton of metrics it will check.

    So in addition to the regular scan features it can read pretty much every supported sensor. Some sensors it will read but they may not be supported by this vehicle.

    Complete waste of money. I bought one just to try it. Proprietary app, can't add modify it, it's junk, A $7 generic ELM will tell you more. If your going to spend $$$ just spend the money on a OBD scanner. If you just need basic functions, cheap eBay ELM and torq app is best way to go :)
