The Lewis OBD2 Scanner Is Coming Soon: Plug In and Get a Year of Pro
A first look at the upcoming Lewis OBD2 Bluetooth scanner: a plug-and-play scanner made to pair with the Lewis app and bundled with a full year of Lewis Pro.
The Lewis app already turns your phone into an AI mechanic. Soon it will have a companion made to go with it: the Lewis OBD2 scanner. This is a first look at what is coming and why we built it.
Why a Scanner of Our Own
Lewis works with standard OBD2 Bluetooth scanners, and it always will. But not every scanner behaves the same way. Some pair poorly, some drop the connection mid-scan, and some leave you guessing whether a failed scan was the car or the hardware.
We wanted an option we could stand behind: a scanner tuned to work cleanly with the Lewis app, so setup is simple and scans are reliable. That is what the Lewis OBD2 scanner is designed to be.
What to Expect
The Lewis scanner is designed to be genuinely plug-and-play:
- Plug in: It goes into the standard OBD2 port under your dashboard
- Pair over Bluetooth: It connects to the Lewis app wirelessly
- Scan: Run your first diagnostic in minutes, no configuration required
The goal is to remove every bit of friction between opening the box and understanding your car.
Bundled With a Year of Lewis Pro
Here is the part we are most excited about. The Lewis scanner comes bundled with a full year of Lewis Pro. Pro is what unlocks the deep experience: AI analysis of your scans, chat with Lewis, manufacturer-specific live data on 35 makes, and the full Pre-Purchase Inspection with its negotiation guide.
That means the scanner is not just hardware. It is the fastest way to get the complete Lewis experience in one package: a reliable scanner plus a year of everything the app can do.
Who It Is For
The Lewis scanner is a great fit if you:
- Want a scanner you know will pair cleanly with the app
- Are shopping for a used car and want to run a pre-purchase inspection on the spot
- Want the full Pro feature set without thinking about a separate subscription for the first year
- Prefer a simple, plug-and-play setup over hunting through scanner compatibility lists
In the Meantime
You do not have to wait to start using Lewis. The app is available now and works with standard OBD2 Bluetooth scanners, and features like Recall Check do not need a scanner at all.
