I bought a brand new car a few years ago and the check engine light recently came on. I grabbed one of these and loved being able to get an idea of how drastic the issue was before dropping it off at the shop to get it fixed. With support for iOS, Android, and Windows, everyone will has a way to see what’s up. Rated 4+ stars from nearly 65% of reviewers.

Some of my favorite gear

Anker MagSafe 8-in-1 Qi2 USB-C Power Strip

This rapidly tops off my iPhone 16 and adds extra power to my desk.

When you plug this into your car, a build-up of dust may inspire you to clean it up a bit. Grab some AmazonBasics Microfiber Cleaning Cloths for $7 and you’ll be ready to clean that plus a whole bunch more. This bundle includes three cloths, great for wiping down nearly any smooth surface without the worry of scuffs or scratching.
