Mucar DriverScan TESTED | Honest Review

I tested the Mucar DriverScan on several cars, including my Toyota Corolla, Fiat Punto and Renault Kangoo.
It uses the same style of software as ThinkDiag2, but costs much less.
This is a simple Bluetooth adapter that gives you full-system access and bi-directional tests without subscriptions.

Test Results on Real Cars

I tested it on real cars.

Cars used:
• Toyota Corolla
• Renault Kangoo
• Fiat Punto
• older VW platform (basic tests)
• a few used cars during inspections

Full Scan

Full scan took 33 seconds on Toyota.
It detected 33 modules — about one module per second.
Very fast for a Bluetooth adapter.

You can generate a PDF report.
There is an AI explanation feature, but it is basic. It just repeats general advice.
Not really helpful in real diagnostics.

Bi-Directional Tests

Works in all modules tested.
Engine, ABS, SRS, body control, etc.

Examples tested:
• door locks
• radiator fan
• wipers
• throttle modulation
• washer relay
• lights

For body module: around 30 different tests available.

Reaction speed:
• Door lock: ~2 seconds delay
• ThinkDiag 2: almost instant
So DriverScan is slightly slower.

Live Data

Clean layout.
Graphs work fine.
No freezing.

Service Procedures

Around 15 resets confirmed:
• oil reset
• EPB reset
• ABS bleed
• DPF regen
• injector coding
• throttle body learn
• TPMS reset
• SAS calibration
• EGR reset
• gearbox reset

Everything worked on supported cars.

Failures

• Auto-VIN failed on some older models
• AI analysis not helpful
• Bi-directional delay on some modules

Manufacturer Specs vs Real Testing

Area	Manufacturer Claim	What I Saw in Testing
Full-system diagnostics	98% cars	Worked on all tested cars
Bi-directional tests	supports actuators	Works, but slower than ThinkDiag
15+ service resets	full list	Confirmed ~15
VIN auto-detect	automatic	Works only on newer cars
IMMO / key	supported	not available in my testing
Acceleration test	supported	not tested
VE test	supported	not tested
ECU coding	none	no coding available

Hardware / Software / Plans / Internet Dependency

Adapter is compact and stable.
Bluetooth stays connected even during long scans.

Software is basically ThinkDiag software with different branding.
Clear menus, good layout.

Plans / Subscription

No subscription required for basic functions.
Manufacturer lists IMMO, VE test, acceleration test — these are not available in my testing.

Internet / Cloud

Full scan works offline.
AI report requires internet.

Supported Service Resets

VAG (VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat)

• DPF regen
• EPB
• steering angle
• oil reset
Coding NOT supported.
For VAG coding you need OBDeleven or ThinkDiag 2.

BMW / Toyota / Lexus

Service resets work.
ABS bleed, EPB, throttle, oil reset — confirmed.

Other brands

DPF, injector coding, battery, SAS — depends on model.
Everything tested worked, but coverage varies.

If you need heavy multi-brand service work, Kingbolen K7, Mucar VO7 or Thinkcar tablets are better.

Supported Languages

12 languages available.
Translations are okay but not perfect.
English is safest.
For confusing descriptions, users should check forums or Google.

Comparison Section

DriverScan vs ELM327

Completely different tools.

Feature	DriverScan	ELM327
Modules	all	engine only
Bi-di	yes	no
Resets	yes	no
Coding	no	no

ELM327 is for live data only.
DriverScan is a real scanner.

DriverScan vs Multi-Brand Tablets (K7 / VO7 / Thinkcar tablets)

Tablets are stronger.

Feature	DriverScan	Tablet Tools
Screen	phone	built-in
Coding	no	yes on some brands
Speed	fast	faster
Service resets	strong	stronger
Price	cheap	mid-range

If you work on cars often, a tablet is easier.
DriverScan is good for inspections and DIY.

Final Verdict

DriverScan is a great budget full-system scanner with real bi-directional tests.
Fast scanning, many resets, and stable app.
Perfect for DIY mechanics and used-car checks.

If you need coding → skip it and buy ThinkDiag 2 or OBDeleven.
If you work on many brands → tablet tools like Kingbolen K7 are stronger.
