Does BAFX Products work with Skanyx?
What works with Skanyx:
- Read and clear OBD2 fault codes (P0xxx, P2xxx generic) with freeze frame data
- Read standard OBD2 live data PIDs (Mode 01) at consumer polling rates
- Read VIN (Mode 09) and Skanyx vehicle-database lookup
- Full 8-step Pre-Purchase Inspection workflow on Android
- AI Chat, Health Monitor, Fault Prediction, NHTSA recall lookup
What doesn't work with Skanyx (use a brand-specific tool instead):
- iPhone pairing (BAFX is Classic Bluetooth, Android only)
- Manufacturer coding, bidirectional actuator tests, or dealer-level module access (no generic adapter does this)
BAFX does not make a coding app or a BLE adapter. iPhone owners who want Skanyx should choose a BLE adapter such as Veepeak OBDCheck VP11 or vLinker MC+.
