Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on OBDPlatform are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. This disclosure is required by the FTC and we are happy to be transparent about it.

An affiliate link is a tracked URL that tells a retailer you arrived from our site. If you make a purchase after clicking one, the retailer pays us a small percentage of the sale as a referral fee.

The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer's site. You pay nothing extra. The commission comes from the retailer's margin — not from you.

Affiliate links on OBDPlatform appear in one place only:

• Our Best OBD2 Scanners page — which contains product recommendations with links to AliExpress

Our 100 OBD2 code guides contain no affiliate links. The Gumroad links to our e-books are direct product links — Gumroad is our own storefront, not a third-party affiliate program.

AliExpress Affiliate Program — We participate in the AliExpress affiliate program. Product links on our Best OBD2 Scanners page may earn us a commission if you purchase through them.

We select products based on what we genuinely believe is useful for our readers — not based on commission rates. Our editorial decisions are made independently of affiliate relationships.

• We only link to products we believe are genuinely useful
• Affiliate relationships do not influence our diagnostic content
• We never recommend a product solely because of commission rates
• Our OBD2 code guides are written with complete editorial independence
• We are transparent about affiliate relationships wherever they exist

If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or this disclosure, please get in touch.
