Description
To connect directly to you vehicle a GL1 cable sold separately at Amazon.com or eBay.com is required.
Safety Recalls and Service Bulletins in-app purchase does not require the GL1 cable.
CARbonga is the first iPhone app (also runs on the iPod touch and iPad) to address both broader vehicle Safety Systems, such as its anti-lock brakes, air bags, safety-restraint systems and tire pressure monitoring systems as well as On Board Diagnostic (OBD) codes for vehicle emissions and other engine problems. (Other iPhone apps only read OBD codes, not safety codes.)
Drivers with a 1996 or newer vehicle can see beyond the vague Check Engine light to pinpoint existing and pending problems with their vehicle's engine, transmission, safety systems, body, chassis, and more perhaps even when warning lights do not indicate a problem.
CARbonga makes it easy for drivers to gauge the condition of their vehicles by themselves. Using the same technology previously accessible only by car mechanics and dealerships, CARbonga allows drivers to connect to their On Board Diagnostic port with an iPhone and a GL1 cable and check over 2,000 vehicle fault codes.
The system then translates those codes and issues an immediate reading of any current or pending mechanical issues that may be occurring in the vehicle, without the time and expense of visiting a mechanic.
CARbonga is also great for checking a used car's on-board history before buying, alerting buyers of stored previous alerts, potentially advising if the airbag had deployed or if the transmission was problematic.

----------------------------
Not all vehicles are equipped with the safety systems that CARbonga is able to evaluate. CARbonga reads trouble codes to evaluate the status of the various safety systems and on-board diagnostics. Illuminated dashboard warning lights do not always trigger trouble codes. Other issues may exist that are undetectable through the vehicle's on-board computer system. CARbonga does not perform a complete vehicle diagnostic and is not a substitute for seeking the advice of a qualified mechanic.

Not at all impressed
Worthless
I agree... Wish it did more.
No nearly as good as the free golink solution. Wish I had not bought this. Provided no additional value to me. The description is misleading.
Crossed eyed
This app is a wast of money there are free apps that do a lot more !!!!!
