As I waited for Dan from Carly to arrive for our scheduled rendezvous, my anticipation was building by the second. What if the scanner comes up with a million error messages? Will it be difficult to install the device? Would I, admittedly not a petrolhead, be able to use the dongle and the app? I had so many questions, especially since the concept of Carly sounded too good to be true.
The Carly app and its accompanying scanner allow car owners to perform vehicle diagnostics, view live data, and take advantage of expert guidance from their in-pocket Smart Mechanic feature, regardless of technical expertise. The scanner is a sleek and compact device that can be placed into the OBD (On-Board Diagnostic) port of a vehicle made after 2000.
