What OBD2 Complete adds
Complete makes sense when you want Smart Control to become an ongoing reference for your car. The value is more than a longer list of parameters: you can select eligible data relevant to your use, revisit sessions beyond the Free limits and inspect supported exports outside the app. Start with the compatibility of your own setup, then consider these capabilities in terms of what you will actually use.
OBD2 Complete adds software capabilities to the data your car already provides. It allows eligible additional parameter selections, history beyond the Free version’s limits and CSV export in supported views. It also permits supported DTC clearing with a recognised Full entitlement. Reading and clearing remain different operations; clearing does not repair a fault.
The licence is purchased once and has no periodic renewal. “Lifetime” describes the software entitlement, not perpetual compatibility or unlimited third-party services. It does not automatically include future SCA products, and buying it cannot add unsupported vehicle sensors. Check the price and terms shown by Google Play before confirming. If you already own a licence or a historical edition, check its recognised status and recovery guidance before purchasing again.
For example, you may want to follow an available parameter across later sessions and keep a CSV copy of the supported data. Or you may keep using history to distinguish different periods and conditions rather than relying on the latest observation. Profile and recording requirements still apply: a software licence does not automatically turn a temporary reading into a record or reconstruct journeys never saved.
The one-time model separates the software purchase from recurring charges. OBD2 Complete does not require a monthly or annual licence subscription. The actual price and terms are those shown by Google Play before purchase for your country and account; no potentially changing amount is fixed here. Remote services that are not operational should not be reasons to purchase as though they were already available.
If you come from PRO, Premium or a historical grant, begin with the status recognised in the app and the recovery guidance. Entitlements have different origins and are not recovered by deleting data or purchasing repeatedly. Local OBD readings remain separate from Google Play checks, which can require Internet. Before confirming a new purchase, establish whether the entitlement you already hold enables the functions you want.
I already paid
Use the appropriate Google Play account and inspect the licence status. Historical PRO, Premium and in-app purchases have different origins; do not delete old apps or data to try to recover a right.
Do I need to buy support?
A basic email support path remains available without purchase. Do not treat an inactive remote service as an immediately available benefit of buying Complete.

Screen guide
How to read the Licenses screen
The app’s names and status messages, explained. This guide does not read your purchases or activate a license.
Free version
The screen does not show a recognized Complete license. If you have already purchased, check the Play account and follow the recovery steps below.
OBD2 Complete — Active
The license for the current SC OBD2 app is recognized. No additional purchase is needed for features already enabled.
Origin to be verified
An active complete OBD2 license with an unverified origin means access is recognized but provenance is not yet qualified. It is not a request to buy again.
SCA Full — Active
This is the name of a recognized historical state in the app. It is distinct from the current OBD2 Complete product. Keep purchase evidence and contact support if previous rights are unclear.
The entries you find in the app
Diagnostics
View engine codes and diagnostic information available from the vehicle. A code alone does not identify the cause of a fault.
Trip diary
Review trips that were actually recorded. This page does not reconstruct missing records.
Find your car
Use the parking location when available and when the necessary permissions have been granted.
Refuelling
Record and review refuelling entries in the app.
Performance
Explore the available tools and measurements. Do not perform driving tests to follow this guide.
Theme
Personalize the interface using settings available in the app.
Actual availability depends on the status shown by the app, vehicle, adapter and permissions. A license does not reactivate remote services suspended in 1069.
1. Redeem a Google Play code
- Install Smart Control OBD2 from Google Play. Check the Google account selected in the Play Store: the redeemed entitlement will belong to that account.
- In the Play Store, open your profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Redeem code. Wording may vary with the Play Store version. Alternatively, use Google Play’s official redemption page.
- Enter the code you received privately. Before confirming, check that Google Play identifies SC OBD2 Complete for Smart Control OBD2. Stop if the app or product does not match.
- After Google Play confirms redemption, return to the app and open Licenses.
A one-time code can be redeemed once. Check its expiry and any eligibility conditions shown by Google Play. A code for one product does not automatically activate other products or apps. Do not send codes to support or post them publicly.
2. Check an active license
Open the app menu and select the license entry: depending on the recognized entitlement, it may read Free license, OBD2 Complete license or SCA Full. The page title is Licenses.
The current license is shown as OBD2 Complete — Active. If you see SC OBD2 complete active — Origin to verify, complete OBD2 access is active but its origin has not yet been qualified; that message alone is not a reason to purchase again.
With Google Play available and an Internet connection, opening or reopening this page checks purchases for the current app package. A pending purchase is not an active license.
3. Restore previous purchases
- In the Play Store, select the same account used for the purchase and make sure the correct app was installed from Google Play.
- Open SC OBD2 and its Licenses page while online. If needed, close and reopen the app, then return to that page.
- Check the displayed status. If the entitlement is not recognized, contact support before making another purchase.
In version 1069, the Licenses page checks purchases automatically; there is no separate “Restore purchases” button to look for. Do not clear app data or uninstall a historical edition to try to recover a license.
4. When an older license is not recognized
- Current OBD2 Complete license
- This Google Play product applies to SC OBD2 only. Recognition uses purchases for the current app and the relevant Google Play account.
- Historical Full license
- This is distinct from the current OBD2 Complete product. A previously recognized purchase may have an origin that is not yet qualified. Keep your purchase evidence and report the exact app message. No automatic new grant of additional rights is promised.
- PRO and Premium editions
- These apps have different package identifiers. SC OBD2’s purchase check does not automatically transfer purchases between packages. If you own one of these editions, keep the legitimate original app installed; recognition supported by the app depends on the edition and a compatible signature. Tell support which edition you used instead of purchasing again as a troubleshooting step.
A promotional code or an old “Full” label is not proof of conversion between editions. Support examines individual cases; this page does not grant or change licenses.
5. Contact support
On the Licenses page, select License not recognized? Tell us. The backend support channel is suspended in version 1069. Use the email option available in the app or write directly to [email protected].
Include the app version, Android version, previous edition and exact license status. If purchase evidence is needed, first ask which minimum details are required. Do not send passwords, promotional codes, purchase tokens, card details, VINs, registration plates or locations. Redact unnecessary information in images.
