Are you looking for more than just a basic OBDII scan tool? The Kiwi 4 Obd2 is a sophisticated, plug-and-play automotive tool designed to connect to your vehicle’s onboard diagnostic port (OBDII/CAN). It wirelessly transmits vital information from your car’s computer to your smartphone, tablet, smartwatch, or PC, offering unparalleled insight into your vehicle’s performance and health.
Two Powerful Modes for Comprehensive Vehicle Monitoring
The Kiwi 4 OBD2 operates in two distinct modes to cater to various user needs and scenarios:
Smartphone Mode: Real-Time Data at Your Fingertips
In Smartphone mode, the Kiwi 4 functions similarly to previous Kiwi models (1/2/3), establishing a persistent connection with your smart device. This constant link enables real-time data transmission, empowering you to utilize powerful OBDII applications like the Kiwi OBD app and numerous compatible third-party apps. Monitor live engine parameters, diagnose issues on the go, and gain immediate feedback on your driving performance.
Self-Run Mode: Autonomous Data Logging for In-Depth Analysis
For users requiring data logging without constant smartphone connection, the Self-Run mode is a game-changer. Configure your Kiwi 4 to monitor up to 16 OBDII parameters. The device autonomously logs data in CSV format, complete with date and time stamps, onto a micro SD card. This feature allows for extensive data collection for later download and detailed analysis using any PC spreadsheet software. Ideal for performance tracking, fuel efficiency studies, and diagnosing intermittent issues.
Engineered for Superior Performance and Compatibility
The Kiwi 4 OBD2 is engineered to outperform other OBDII devices, packing advanced features into a remarkably thin profile of just 0.68 inches. It maintains 100% backward compatibility with the Kiwi 3, ensuring a seamless upgrade path.
Compatible with all 1996 and newer vehicles in the US (OBDII is mandatory for vehicles sold after January 1, 1996), the Kiwi 4 is incredibly easy to use. Simply plug it into your OBDII port and download the Kiwi OBD app to unlock advanced functionalities. Enable audible warnings and alerts, log acceleration data (including latitude and longitude) without needing to permanently mount your smartphone, and customize your vehicle monitoring experience.
Is My Vehicle OBDII Compliant?
Broad App Compatibility for Diverse Automotive Needs
Kiwi 4 OBD2 boasts cross-platform compatibility with iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile, offering flexibility for users across different ecosystems. Unlike some OBDII devices, Kiwi 4 doesn’t impose restrictions like Apple’s MFI program, making it exceptionally developer-friendly and fostering a wide range of compatible applications.
To guarantee a premium user experience, Kiwi 4 partners with leading OBD app developers. This ensures compatibility with top-tier apps for diagnostics, performance measurement, data logging, fuel efficiency analysis, driving behavior monitoring, track day performance, custom gauges, and much more.
Note: DashCommand is NOT recommended for Android 7.x (Nougat) and later. Carista App offers a 1-month FREE trial of all features (iPhone or Android).
Kiwi OBD App: Your Central Automotive Dashboard
The dedicated Kiwi OBD app, available for both Apple and Android, amplifies the capabilities of your Kiwi 4 OBD2.
