Mustang Tech: Carly Diagnostic Tool Finds and Repairs Issues, Even Helps Us Prevent Getting Scammed
The Carly diagnostic tool helps us find and fix problems, record data, and even check odometers for discrepancies.
Full disclosure: Carly is a MustangForums sponsor.
OBD scanners have been around, well, basically since OBD became a thing. However, vehicles have become more and more technology-laden and complex over the years, which has made it more and more difficult to diagnose and repair problems – at least for the average enthusiast like most of us. Thankfully, there is an affordable and incredibly feature-rich tool that gives us that ability right back – the Carly diagnostic tool, which can be paired with a number of cool features that can also save us a ton of money down the road.
First and foremost, the Carly diagnostic tool – paired with the corresponding smartphone app – gives us the ability to discover any potential problems our vehicles might be suffering from, and it does that by reading out fault codes from up to 80 ECUs and combining that with additional information. It then puts all of that info together in one easy-to-read dashboard depicting overall vehicle health, which is quite useful. Meanwhile, Carly Engine Live Data provides a full overview of hundreds of manufacturer-specific live parameters and gives users the ability to record and export data while driving.
Carly Maintenance takes things a step further by providing the ability to reset things like the oil counter and check engine lights, while also tracking service intervals and doing all of the little things most people rely on dealers to do. And in the event that there is a problem, Carly Smart Mechanic tells us about it, as well as how severe it is, and then provides information on how to fix the issue with instructions from expert mechanics.
All of this is obviously useful, but this diagnostic tool also has another trick up its sleeve – Carly Used Car Check, which does precisely what it sounds like – checks out used vehicles for any potential mechanical problems, while also looking at the odometer to see if it’s been tampered with. The tool also analyzes mileage data for any discrepancies, which could save you from being scammed on your next purchase, as well as the loss of money that would come from such a scandalous act.
As one might imagine, that’s one of the best benefits of the Carly diagnostic tool – for a cost of between $76 and $112, it provides a wealth of information that can easily save us thousands of dollars in the long run. If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, you can score your own Carly by heading over here.
