Which cars and phones the A30M fits
The A30M covers vehicles from 1996 onward and more than 85 brands across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. It also supports CAN FD on GM 2020+ models and FCA AutoAuth for 2018 and newer Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Fiat vehicles.
We'd consider the phone side the first thing to check, because the tool runs through a Bluetooth 4.0 link to your smartphone or iPad rather than a built-in screen. The FCA AutoAuth account is not included and has to be registered and paid for separately on the official site, which adds cost for those vehicles. For other makes, send your VIN to confirm which systems and service functions your model supports.

What the A30M will not do
The A30M performs diagnostics and active tests, but it will not repair a fault or guarantee that a warning light stays off. It also does not include the FCA AutoAuth account, so FCA coverage on 2018 and newer models depends on your own registration and payment.
Service functions vary by vehicle model, so a reset listed for one car may not appear on another. Treat a cleared code as a step in troubleshooting, not proof the underlying part is healthy.
What it will not do: it cannot replace hands-on repair work or guarantee that a fault is resolved.
The price and what it compares to
- Amazon price
- $135.12
- Customer rating

- Customer reviews

- Typical price over 90 days

- Difference
- $18.25 (12 percent)
The scanner costs $135.12. That is $18.25 less than the typical price over the last 90 days of $153.37, a 12 percent difference.
That is also the lowest price recorded in the all-time window, so the current offer sits below what buyers have typically paid. If a low entry point into full system diagnostics with resets is your goal, this price is worth acting on.
The power, mounting and connection check
The A30M is a Bluetooth OBD2 dongle, so it plugs into the vehicle's diagnostic port rather than mounting on the dash. You need a powered vehicle and a compatible smartphone or iPad to run the app. Cable-free diagnostics reach up to 33 feet, so you can stand outside the car while testing parts like windows or wipers.
Where your diagnostic port sits and whether your model needs an adapter are worth confirming before you buy. Bring your phone's Bluetooth version to that check too.
Who should choose this scanner
This is a strong pick for DIYers and weekend mechanics who want full system scans, live data graphing for up to 8 streams at once, and 26 service resets without a subscription. If you own a GM 2020+ or an FCA 2018+ vehicle, the CAN FD and AutoAuth support add real coverage, provided you handle the FCA account separately.
Skip it if you need FCA AutoAuth included in the box or if your car predates 1996. Otherwise, confirm your VIN compatibility and your phone's Bluetooth support before you order.
