Overview
OBDwiz is the automotive diagnostic software that is included with every ScanTool.net PC-based scan tool. It is a breeze to install, easy to use, and is packed with features. Use OBDwiz to troubleshoot a problem with your vehicle, improve fuel economy, clear the 'Check Engine' light, and verify emissions readiness. It is touchscreen-friendly, and can even be used as a digital dashboard.

When you first launch OBDwiz, it opens the Connection tab:
![OBDwiz - Connection](https://www.scantool.net/static/images/screenshots/obdwiz/setup-connection.jpg)
Select the COM port and baud rate for your scan tool, or click "Auto Detect" to have the software automatically find it:
![](https://www.scantool.net/static/images/screenshots/obdwiz/popup-scantool_auto_detection.jpg)
When you click "Connect", if the protocol is set to "Automatic" the software attempts to connect to the vehicle by sending a request on each OBD-II protocol, until the correct one is found:

PID Monitor can be used to fine tune the performance of the software.

Once the connection is established, you can set up the real-time parameters you want to monitor, in PID Setup (PID stands for "Parameter ID").

The General tab is used to switch between metric and English units, Day/Night modes, switch between and edit custom dashboards, and set other user preferences.
