How this car guy gift works
Pay once through Stripe and enter the address the scanner should go to: yours to wrap it, or his.
It lands in your inbox within minutes. Add his name and a note, then download the PDF to print or forward.
He installs the app on his iPhone or Android, signs in with his own email and enters the code. His year starts then.
Gifts for car lovers, and for the guy who isn't one
Most gifts for car guys are a detailing kit, a mug or a tool he already owns. This one plugs in once and works on every drive for a whole year.
The car guy
He already knows his way around an engine. Now he gets live data, stored fault codes and a history of what his car does on every drive.
The boyfriend or husband with the light on
The check engine light has been on for months and he says it's fine. PulsCar tells him what the code means, in plain English.
Dad and his older car
It fits any car built after 1996, and he hears about a problem from his phone instead of from the side of the road.
The used-car shopper
He can record the engine sound in the seller's driveway and get a read on it. It works on any car, not just his.
What he gets: an OBD2 scanner and the app
- The OBDLink MX+ scanner. It plugs in under the steering wheel in 30 seconds, no tools.
- Every drive recorded on its own, with engine temperature, battery voltage and fault codes watched.
- Fault codes explained in plain English, including ones logged before the warning light.
- A “pull over now” alert when it's serious.
- An engine sound check from his phone, and SOS guides for when he's stuck on the road.
- A report he can hand the shop instead of describing a noise.
Questions before you buy this gift for him
What is an OBD2 scanner?
A small device that plugs into the port under the steering wheel and reads what the car's computer reports, including fault codes. PulsCar's app turns those readings into plain English on his phone.
Will it fit his car?
If the car was built after 1996, it has the OBD-II port PulsCar plugs into. That's 99% of cars on the road. It works with iPhone and Android. See the compatibility guide.
Can I buy it now and give it at Christmas?
Yes. His year starts the day he enters the code in the app, not the day you pay, so buying early doesn't use up his membership.
Does he need my email to use it?
No. He signs in with his own email. Tracking and order emails come to you.
Is this a subscription he'll have to cancel?
No. It's one payment and nothing renews automatically. After the term, he can renew for $179 a year by an emailed link, or simply stop.
What if it arrives after the big day?
The certificate reaches you within minutes of paying, so you can give it even if the scanner is still on its way. The scanner ships within 7 days, and you get a tracking link when it leaves.
What if it isn't right for him?
You can cancel for a full refund any time before the scanner ships, and return it within 30 days of delivery. Refunds go back to the card you paid with.
Give him the answer before the shop does.
