Hands-on: Carly 2.0 + Universal Adapter – OBD-App for all your cars – Part 1

Recently I have received the new Carly Universal Adapter. Before that I still had three older adapters from Carly in use. One for Android and and one for iOS + additionally one for VAG vehicles. From now on I only need exactly one adapter.

Of course I tried the new adapter with the latest Carly app. A short hands-on in part 2.

Packaging, insert and OBD adaptor

The first thing to do is of course: unpack. The packaging is nicely designed. The orange edge of the inner packaging makes it look incredibly valuable. On top of the adapter there is a short instruction / greeting in english language:

Front

This is you, the gear heads and the car ethusiasts, who know, like us, that a car is more than just a mode of transportation. To all of us, a car embodies passion, engineering, and human ingenuity. This is our fuel, it’s what keeps us forcused on our misson.

We are Carly. We connect you to what you love.
