OBDII: Data directly from your car

TripTracker is able to connect directly to your car so that it can read the odometer and calculate the distance traveled. In addition various parameters and the troublecodes can be displayed. To use this feature you don’t need to modify your car! You just require a Bluetooth adapter which is plugged in to the cars OBDII interface. Installation is very easy since in most modern cars the OBDII interface is directly beneath the steering wheel. More information can be found here... Please note: Most cheap OBDII-Adapters on the market don't perform good over a longer period. Thats the reason why an optimized version especially for TripTracker was developed.

Reliable and comprehensive

TripTracker provides complete and correct data collection. The integrity of your mileage logbook is ensured by various hash and encryption algorithm. Each entry has its own checksum to guarantee that it isn't changed afterwards or outside of TripTracker. Also the generated PDF can be signed by one of our servers to ensure that it can't be modified.

Accepted by public authorities, if your data is plausible

With TripTracker you have better chances that your data will be accepted as with the handwritten mileage logbook since in case of any doubts you could provide the tracked GPS-Coordinates or, if you use the OBDII-Plugin, even the data out of your car’s engine control unit to prove your trips. However, it depends on you and how you use TripTracker.

How does OBD2 data logging work?

First, let us briefly recap the basics of OBD2 :

OBD2 offers a standardized set of parameters ( OBD2 PIDs ) that you can record - and easily decode - across most cars.

To log OBD2 data involves 3 simple steps:

• Configure your OBD2 logger with a list of OBD2 PIDs
• Connect it in your car via an OBD2 adapter to start logging
• Extract the SD and decode the data via the free software/API

For details, see the FAQ further below - or our docs:

Top 4 benefits of OBD2 data logging

OBD2 logging lets you collect data from practically any car - below are the top benefits:

Driver/vehicle/part optimization

OBD2 data lets you e.g. monitor/optimize driving behavior and tune your car. OEMs can use the data to analyze the field performance of new prototype parts

Rare issue diagnostics

Rare issues in cars may occur briefly while driving, yet not during repairs. Logging the OBD2 data lets you analyze the period around an event to troubleshoot the problem

Car fleet management

OBD2 WiFi telematics at fleet level enables e.g. driver behavior research, fuel cost reductions, fewer breakdowns, compliance, dispute handling and predictive maintenance

Data control & custom integration

With an OBD2 WiFi logger, you record the raw time series data, which can be extracted via SD or uploaded to your own server - for easy custom integration via open APIs

Use case examples

Below we provide practical examples of how the CANedge can be used for logging OBD2 data.

OEM field testing of vehicle parts

Need to log CAN/OBD2 field data from vehicles in the field?

As an OEM, you may need to do late-stage field tests of prototype equipment. This often requires OBD2 & CAN data from multiple vehicles over e.g. months. The CANedge1 is ideal as it's extremely compact, plug & play and can be pre-configured easily. Data can be collected periodically and analyzed in your favorite CAN tools or the free asammdf GUI/API .

Vehicle telematics (OBD2 + GNSS/IMU + 3G/4G)

Need to setup OBD2 telematics for on-road vehicle fleets?

The CANedge3 can upload recorded OBD2 data through 3G/4G - using your own SIM card. This enables near real-time wireless OBD2 data transfer from e.g. on-road vehicles to your own cloud server. The OBD2 data can be auto-processed via the open APIs (incl. OBD2 DBC decoding support), while the CANedge3 devices can be updated over-the-air . Further, the CANedge3 includes a GPS/IMU, adding data such as position, speed, trip distance, acceleration, attitude and more to your data.

Case study: OBD2/CAN telematics

Learn how Volkswagen uses the CANedge2 to log OBD2 and raw CAN data to an SD card - as well as auto-push the data to their own self-hosted server for analysis.

"The CANedge2 got us up-and-running at a rapid pace with robust config options - and the support was outstanding! "

OBD2 data from an Audi A4

Below you can download OBD2 samples from the CANedge.

You can also download the free open source OBD2 software and try out the process of decoding the raw OBD2 data.

The OBD2 protocol (SAE J1979) specifies a range of standardized vehicle data that you can log from your car. Note, however, that each car differs in what OBD2 data is supported - and in particular older cars often support fewer parameters.

With that said, we've listed some of the standard OBD2 parameters that are often available:

• Fuel system status
• Engine load
• Coolant temperature
• Fuel pressure
• Intake manifold pressure
• Vehicle speed
• Intake air temperature
• MAF air flow rate
• Throttle position
• Oxygen sensor status
• Runtime since engine start
• Distance with MIL on
• Fuel tank level input
• System vapor pressure
• Absolute load value
• Hybrid battery pack life
• Engine oil temperature
• Engine fuel rate
• Various DTCs

For further details, see the OBD2 PID Wiki page or the SAE J1979 standard .

To decode raw OBD2 data from a CANedge OBD2 data logger into physical values (km/h, rpm, ...), you need a database of decoding rules and suitable OBD2 software.

For this purpose, we provide a 100% free OBD2 DBC file , which contains the majority of the standardized Mode 01 (aka Service 01) OBD2 PID decoding rules as found on e.g. the OBD2 PID Wiki page .

The OBD2 DBC file uses extended multiplexing to enable OBD2 decoding. For more on this, see our DBC intro and our OBD2 intro (where we explain how to interpret raw CAN frames with OBD2 responses).

You can load your raw OBD2 data and the OBD2 DBC file in one of our free software tools (e.g. asammdf or our OBD2 dashboard integrations ). This lets you visualize your decoded OBD2 data such as Speed, Engine Speed, MAF, Fuel Level etc.

One of the benefits of using this approach is that you can easily modify the OBD2 DBC to include additional proprietary OBD2 PIDs. You can also combine the OBD2 DBC with e.g. proprietary CAN DBC files to enable both CAN/OBD2 car data logging.

What is UDS?

The Unified Diagnostic Services protocol (UDS, ISO 14229-1) is a communication protocol used within automotive ECU communication. An UDS diagnostic tool can be used to send requests messages into the CAN bus, with the purpose of e.g. retrieving information from specific ECUs. While OBD2 is intended as an on-board diagnostics protocol (for while the vehicle is moving), UDS is intended as an off-board diagnostic protocol (for when the vehicle is standing still).

How to make UDS requests over ISO-TP (ISO 15765-2)

Requesting OBD2 PIDs is relatively simple: An OBD2 scan tool or OBD2 data logger sends a specific CAN frame (the OBD2 request) and if the car supports the OBD2 PID, it responds with a single CAN frame. In contrast, UDS requests may require performing transport protocol requests. For example, you can use the UDS service 0x22 to request data by identifier. In this case, the communication flow may be as follows:

• An 'UDS data logger' sends a request frame specifying the service ID (SID) and data identifier (DID) of interest
• The car responds with a first frame , which contains the SID, DID, total message length and initial payload bytes
• Shortly after the first frame, the UDS logger acknowledges the first frame by sending a flow control frame
• After this, the ECU sends consequtive frames with the remaining payload of the message

In other words, to log UDS data requires that the UDS tool can send custom CAN frames and flow control frames. Further, the software tools must be able to re-construct multiframe UDS responses in order to extract the payload and decode it.

UDS and OBD2 extended PIDs for car data logging

The UDS service ID (SID) and the data identifiers (DID) are sometimes combined into one ID and referred to as an 'extended OBD2 PID' - for example 0x220101. Recording UDS data via service 0x22 requests is sometimes used to extract car data beyond what is available through service 01 OBD2 PID requests. For example, some electric cars provide access to State of Charge (SoC%) via UDS requests under service 0x22.

Using the CANedge as an UDS data logger

The CANedge can be configured to send UDS requests. This is done by sending a request frame and adding a flow control frame within X ms after the request. When done right, this triggers the full sequence of UDS responses. The resulting log files with UDS responses can e.g. be loaded in tools like CANalyzer (by converting the MF4 data to Vector ASC ) for decoding. Alternatively, the multiframe UDS response data can be processed via our free Python CAN bus API e.g. to push parameters to a Grafana UDS dashboard . Our github API examples library contains UDS response data and an UDS DBC file for decoding State of Charge (SoC%) from a Hyundai Kona EV. To learn more about this, see our EV data logger article or contact us .

Most likely. The majority of cars and light trucks use the OBD2 standard as their on-board diagnostics methodology. In particular, OBD2 has been mandatory in USA since 1996 and in EU since 2003 (here it is denoted EOBD, but it is basically the same).

However, even if your vehicle supports OBD2, you may be unable to log the data you want. First, each vehicle model (brand/year) differs in terms of what OBD2 data parameters are supported. In particular, older cars often have more limited support for e.g. real-time parameters like speed, RPM etc. Further, some car manufacturers have begun restricting access to the OBD2 data to better control their vehicle data. And finally, while the vast majority of cars use CAN as the signal protocol for OBD2, you may encounter cases for old US cars (pre 2008) or e.g. some EU brands where another protocol is used instead.

Note: A useful check is to review your OBD2 connector in your car. To use a CAN logger to record OBD2 data, it's necessary that you have "metal pins" in the CAN High (pin 6) and CAN Low (pin 14) pins of the OBD2 connector - see our OBD2 connector illustration (the red pins). If in doubt, send us a picture for review.

There are 5 OBD2 signal protocols in total:

• ISO 15765 (CAN): Dominant, as it's required in all vehicles sold in the USA since 2008
• SAE J1850: Standard of the Ford Motor Company
• SAE J1850: Standard of General Motors
• ISO 9141-2: Used by Chrysler and some EU/Asian vehicles
• ISO 14230 (KWP2000): Mainly used by EU manufacturers

The CANedge/CLX000 supports CAN based OBD2 - if in doubt whether your car is supported, contact us .

If you do not have access to your car to visually screen the OBD2 connector, you can do a rough protocol check for the specific car here: OBD2 compatibility (cars) . For further guidance on the basics, check our simple intro to OBD2 .

Note: With an OBD2 logger, you can also check what Mode 01 OBD2 parameter IDs are supported in your car. To do so, you request 'Supported PIDs' parameters (ID 00, 20, 40, 60, 80, A0, C0). Once you've logged these, you can review the response data bytes bit-by-bit to see if a PID is supported not (see the Wikipedia OBD2 PID article for details).

Generally speaking, you'll be logging OBD2 data from cars and light trucks. In contrast, if you're aiming to log data from heavy-duty vehicles like trucks, tractors, excavators etc, you will typically need to record J1939 data. The J1939 protocol is a standardized protocol used in most heavy-duty vehicles today, meaning that data can be decoded across vehicle brands (similar to the case of OBD2). To decode J1939 data, a J1939 DBC file is required - and you can use the CANedge/CLX000 as a J1939 data logger as well.

Both the CANedge and CLX000 data logger series can be used as OBD2 data loggers.

If your main goal is to log data to an SD card, we recommend the CANedge series - it is the 2nd generation of the CLX000 and optimized for logging. Further, if you wish to be able to auto-upload your log files to your own server we recommend the CANedge2 . This device is particularly useful if you aim to set up OBD2 telematics workflows and OBD2 dashboards .

If you wish to also be able to stream OBD2 data in real-time via USB to your PC, we recommend the CLX000 series, e.g. the CL2000 .

If in doubt, please contact us - we'll be able to help find the best fit quickly based on a few details on your use case.

Yes, the CLX000 series enables real-time streaming of raw CAN data and OBD2 data via USB - see our OBD2 streaming intro .

If you connect a CAN logger like the CANedge or CLX000 to your car via the OBD2 connector, it will by default start recording raw CAN bus data (in most cars). This raw CAN data is "broadcasted" by the car sensors and used by the car itself to communicate.

In some cases, you may want to log this raw CAN data - e.g. if you are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the car. In this case you will know what each CAN ID and data bytes represent and you'll have a CAN database (DBC file) that you can use to decode the raw CAN data. However, if you're not the vehicle OEM, the only way to decode the raw CAN data will be by hacking your car and reverse engineer the data. In some cases, you can be lucky and find partial databases for your specific car model/year online - e.g. from projects like opendbc .

In most cases, if you're not the car OEM, your main option for collecting data will be via the OBD2 protocol. Today, almost all cars base their OBD2 communication on CAN bus. OBD2 is available only "on-request", in contrast to the raw CAN bus data. To log OBD2 data, you're basically sending a specific custom CAN frame into the vehicle CAN bus. Essentially you're using the CAN bus to send a command to the car to respond with the requested data. The car may respond to your request, assuming the specific OBD2 PID is supported by the car (which is to some extent up to the OEM to decide).

There is a massive number of OBD2 device types on the market - below we outline the main groups:

OBD2 Scanners: These are typically used by mechanics/technicians for diagnostic purposes - e.g. to identify what causes your malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to be turned on. The OBD2 scanners typically include built-in databases for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and functionality for clearing these. OBD2 bluetooth scanners and OBD2 WiFi scanners also exist for more convenient access to OBD2 diagnostic codes via smartphone.

OBD2 Dongles: While not a "formal" definition, OBD dongles typically refer to small, low cost and simple-to-use consumer oriented bluetooth OBD2 readers. They typically provide data via e.g. a smartphone app, allowing you to get a real-time view of your vehicle's performance. They are great for plug-and-play consumer purposes, but offer very limited flexibility in terms of use cases. Typically these devices use an ELM327 microcontroller.

OBD2 Data Loggers: An OBD logger can be used to record OBD2 timeseries data to an SD card in "standalone mode" (i.e. no PC or app required). The data can be extracted via USB or an extractable SD card for later analysis. The CANedge1 is an example of a CAN bus data logger that can be used as an OBD2 data logger.

OBD2 WiFi/LTE Loggers: Some OBD2 data loggers also support WiFi or 3G/4G data transfer. For example, the CANedge2/CANedge3 can log OBD2 data to an SD card and auto-transfer the OBD2 data to a server (cloud, self-hosted) via WiFi/LTE. This makes the CANedge loggers ideal for OBD2 telematics - e.g. to enable wireless access to car codes and parameters like speed, MAF, RPM etc. This type of solution is also ideal for creating OBD2 dashboards to visualize data across car fleets.

OBD2 Interfaces: Some CAN interfaces can also serve as OBD2 interfaces, allowing for real-time streaming of OBD2 data to a PC via USB. For example, the CLX000 enables USB streaming of OBD2 data to a PC via SavvyCAN.

In most cases, yes.

Typically, when you connect e.g. a CANedge to your vehicle, it'll turn on/off with the ignition, since the OBD2 connector typically uses the IGN power supply. This means that the CANedge will not drain any power from the vehicle battery when turned off.

However, in some vehicles the OBD2 connector power supply will be directly wired to the battery, meaning that the CANedge may still be turned on when the car is off. Normally this is not an issue as the power drain from the logger itself is minimal (<1W). However, if you're polling OBD2 data from the ECUs, this may "wake up" the ECUs while the car is off. This can result in some power drain if the car is off for a longer duration.

You can quickly verify if your logger turns on/off with your vehicle by evaluating the LEDs after the car has been turned off for 15-20 minutes - if the LEDs are not lit, the CANedge is turned off.

In case the CANedge/CLX000 does not turn off with the vehicle - and you know the vehicle will be turned off for longer durations - you can disconnect the device during this period. Alternatively, you can configure the CANedge to start/stop transmitting based on broadcasted CAN data patterns. For example, if your car emits a specific CAN ID or data byte pattern when the ignition is turned on/off, this can be used to toggle the transmit functionality of the CANedge. Finally, you can use a DB9-DC splitter cable and a DC-cigarette receptacle adapter to power the CANedge car data logger via your cigarette power supply. This is typically linked to the ignition, forcing the device to turn off with the vehicle. For details, see the CANedge Docs.

Your car may have a built-in GPS, though it's rarely possible to extract the data via OBD2 or the proprietary CAN data. For practical purposes, we recommend using a CANedge incl. GNSS/IMU . This lets you record GNSS/IMU data timesynced with the CAN/OBD2 data that you record from your car via Channel 1.

Best OBD2 App Comparison Chart: Our Top 3 Picks of 2023

Reviews: our 10 favorite obd2 scanner apps of 2023.

With so many OBD2 apps for Android and iOS available on the market, it can be tough to know which one to choose. We’ve picked out 10 of our favorites below that we’d highly recommend to anyone interested in vehicle diagnostics.

Whether you just need something to turn off the check engine light or want to run more advanced functions, you’ll be able to find the perfect tool for you on this list.

This list includes: 

• FIXD OBD2 Scan Tool App
• Carista OBD2 App
• DashCommand
• Car Scanner ELM OBD2
• OBD Auto Doctor
• inCarDoc Pro
• Dash – Drive Smart

1. FIXD OBD2 Scan Tool App

• For Operating Systems: iOS (iPhone, iPad), Android
• Best Compatible Adapter: FIXD OBD2 Scanner for iPhone / Android

FIXD OBD2 is a free diagnostic scanning OBD2 app that is available across iOS and Android devices. The app has to be paired up with a FIXD adapter that slots straight into your vehicle’s OBD2 port. The FIXD adapter is bought separately but carries a very affordable price tag.

The FIXD is a professional OBD2 scan tool app that easily completes all the basic functions that you’d expect from a dedicated car scanner. These include turning off the check engine light, reading diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), and displaying the engine RPM.

This device also has additional fault code reading capabilities that help it stand out from the crowd. Every time your FIXD tool reads a new trouble code, it will provide information about the severity of the issue, and the impact that continued driving will have on the vehicle.

FIXD also allows the user to view real-time data from across different vehicle systems. This means they can see exactly how their car responds to various vehicle inputs. Real-time data is one of the most used tools in a professional workshop and can help identify problems very quickly, so it can be the best OBD iOS/Android for an expert.

Compatible Adapter

The FIXD OBD2 app is designed to work best with the FIXD OBD adapter. The app connects wirelessly to the adapter via Bluetooth and immediately starts reading the vehicle’s VIN number in order to identify the make and model.

This process is remarkably fast for a Bluetooth OBD2 app and you can be reading trouble codes in a matter of seconds. The connection is also strong and extremely unlikely to disconnect as you walk around the vehicle.

The adapter comes nicely packaged with a well-designed travel case. This is perfect for anyone who’s heading out on a long road trip and would like to diagnose any problems they run into on their journey.

It also makes the scan tool the best OBD2 iOS or Android app for professional mechanics who need an easy-to-use diagnostic scanner to take on call-outs.

• Free updates.
• Connects to iOS & Android Devices automatically using Bluetooth.
• Lets you export .pdf reports.
• Global compatibility.
• Real time cost estimates.
• 24/7 car health monitoring.
• Up to 50% discount available at the official website.
• Sells out regularly.
• Can’t read ABS or airbag codes

2. Carista OBD2 App

• Best Compatible Adapter: Carista OBD2 Bluetooth Adapter for iPhone, iPad & Android

The next option on our list of the best Android and iOS OBD2 apps is from Carista. Carista is known across the industry for producing fantastic car diagnostic products and their OBD2 app is no different.

The app can be paired up with a range of different OBD2 adapters, but it works best with Carista’s own Bluetooth transmitter.

Like most of the tools on this list, the Carista OBD2 app completes all basic OBD functions without any problems. The app immediately begins scanning for trouble codes as soon as a connection is made with the adapter and displays useful information about each one.

However, this OBD2 app actually includes a few different advanced features that you’d usually only expect to see on much more expensive diagnostic tools. An example of this is the inclusion of ECU coding, which allows the user to alter parts of their vehicle’s CPU and customize it to their requirements.

The app can also run a smog test . Smog tests are extremely useful as they can quickly determine whether or not a car is likely to pass an external emissions test. This is a brilliant feature and means that a car owner never has to waste money on an expensive emissions test only for the vehicle to fail.

This OBD2 Android/iOS app supports nearly all vehicle makes and models, making the tool viable even for professional workshops that have to deal with many different cars every single day.

As we mentioned earlier, the Carista OBD2 Android/iOS app works best when paired up with the Carista adapter. You can still pair it up with other adapters, but you might not get the same impressive response and ease of use.

The app itself is free to download and use. However, if you want to use advanced features such as ECU coding, you’ll have to join Carista’s subscription program. Considering you’d usually have to buy an expensive dedicated OBD2 tool to access these features, we think it’s a pretty sweet deal.

• Access to a range of advanced features
• Accurate smog tests
• Free month trial for the subscription service
• Vehicle customization options
• Subscription necessary to access full potential.

• For Operating Systems: Windows, Android, iOS (iPhone, iPad)
• Best Compatible Adapter: OBDLink MX Bluetooth OBD2 Adapter for Windows and Android

OBDLink is one of the most well-known, and best Android/iOS OBD2 apps around. The app has thousands of reviews on the iOS and Android app stores and many people have enjoyed the features it has on offer.

The app hooks up with the OBDLink MX Bluetooth adapter for the best results and most accurate readings but can be paired with a wide range of third-party transmitters.

The OBDLink might be the best OBD2 app out there if you’re looking for something that is simple and easy to use. All the app’s features are accessed via the intuitive menu system and each one feels extremely responsive.

One of the nicest features of this OBD2 app is the Dashboard. The Dashboard displays key vehicle data, represented by various dials and gauges. This system is visually appealing and makes it easy to take in all the data. This is in contrast to some other OBD2 tools that display their readings in a confusing list of numbers.

With the OBDLink, you also gain access to your vehicle’s logs and trip information. This allows the user to see exactly how their car has been performing over time and whether or not standards are starting to slip.

Additionally, the OBDLink has a freeze-frame data function, allowing the user to take snapshots of car data at a specific moment in time. For example, you could take a freeze-frame data shot at the moment the accelerator is pressed, to see whether the engine RPM is responding as expected

The OBDLink MX Bluetooth adapter has clearly been designed to work seamlessly with the OBDLink OBD2 app. A strong wireless connection is made in a matter of seconds to an iOS, Windows, or Android device.

If you want to get the most out of your OBDLink scan tool app, then we’d definitely recommend picking up the MX Bluetooth adapter to go with it. The adapter is pretty affordable, especially when compared to the price of a dedicated scan tool.

• Very attractive app design
• Access car logs and trip information
• Excellent freeze-frame data function

4. DashCommand

• Best Compatible Adapter: PLX Devices Kiwi 3 Bluetooth Adapter for iPhone Android Windows

Another option for you on this list of the best OBD2 apps for Android and iOS is the DashCommand diagnostic tool. This app is available across all iOS and Android devices and can connect up to nearly any wireless adapter. DashCommand is definitely one of the most versatile OBD2 apps around.

DashCommand displays all the information it gathers in easy to read gauges. This is similar to OBDLink’s Dashboard feature, and it is implemented just as well here. There’s nothing worse than being faced with a jumble of seemingly random numbers and DashCommand solves this problem with attractive designs.

The basic gauges represent fuel consumption and mileage. Although you can usually see this information on your vehicle’s display, DashCommand can be used as a more accurate measure and to check that the physical fuel gauge is working correctly.

DashCommand also displays refined data about a vehicle’s past trips, data logs, and overall performance. If you drive long distances in your car or van, then using DashCommand would be a great way to investigate how your vehicle has been holding up.

This auto diagnostics app also has a decent trouble code reading capability and can quickly uncover problems with a vehicle’s engine, fuel system, and much more. Reading trouble codes is an essential function for any respectable scan tool and DashCommand does this easily.

DashCommand is compatible with a wide range of third-party adapters, but we’d recommend going for the PLX Devices Kiwi 3. This adapter connects quickly to the DashCommand app and hardly ever disconnects or has issues.

The PLX Devices Kiwi 3 can also be linked up with other Android/iOS OBD2 apps if you’d like to explore other options that offer different capabilities to DashCommand.

• Can be paired with nearly all third-party adapters
• Fantastic gauge design
• Rapid reading of trouble codes

If you want to take a deep-dive into the performance of your engine, then OBD Fusion might be the best OBD2 Android/iOS app for you. It can access a wide range of engine sensors built into the car and provide accurate readings for them all.

The engine information displays in the form of a graph or gauge for easy consumption. Being able to access the engine PIDs in the way that OBD Fusion does is something that we’d only typically expect to see on much more expensive scan tools.

Aside from running engine diagnostics, OBD Fusion can also investigate the fuel system and provide sophisticated feedback. Knowing how efficiently your fuel system is operating is essential if you want to keep your vehicle running at a sensible price.

The final feature we love is OBD Fusion’s ability to locate and track your vehicle . If you’re someone who regularly forgets where they’ve parked their car, then you can simply head to OBD Fusion and it will guide you straight there. As long as your Bluetooth transmitter is plugged in, you’ll never lose your car again.

Although this OBD2 app can pair up with most adapters available on the market, we’d recommend buying the BAFX Products transmitter. This adapter works extremely well and holds a strong connection even as the user walks around and away from the car.

• Fantastic engine diagnostics
• In-depth fuel system reporting
• Compatible with a range of devices
• Some of the more advanced features require in-app purchases

One of the adapters that OBD Fusion is compatible with is the BAFX Wi-Fi OBD2 adapter. This particular adapter is compatible with Android or IOS devices. It is a great adapter similar to other ELM327 devices , and works with Wifi or Bluetooth. A great tool to help connect with the OBD Fusion application and get quick vehicle reads.

6. Car Scanner ELM OBD2

• Best Compatible Adapter: Vgate iCar2 OBD2 Wifi Code Reader for iPhone iPad Android PC

Here we have the Car Scanner ELM OBD2 app. This is yet another scan tool that has seen booming popularity on digital app stores thanks to its great set of features and free initial download. There’s no dedicated adapter to pair it up with but there are tons of third-party options available.

The Car Scanner ELM OBD2 tool goes a few layers deeper than some of the other scan apps on this list. If you’re someone who has a decent knowledge of how OBD2 systems function, then this could be one of the best options for you.

Having said that, the app is still pretty easy to use and could still be a great choice for someone just getting into car diagnostics. Car Scanner ELM reads trouble codes with ease and even gives the user some in-depth feedback about the source of the issue and repair suggestions.

This OBD2 app for Android and iOS also makes use of a variety of sensors located in a vehicle’s engine, fuel, and emission systems to give the user an in-depth rundown of how these various systems are performing. All car owners would definitely be able to benefit from being able to see these statistics.

The smog test feature is also very useful and can save a vehicle owner from sending their car for repeated failed emissions tests. Simply use the app to check how efficiently your emissions system is operating and then decide whether or not it is likely to pass the test.

The best compatible adapter for this OBD2 app is the iCar 2 from Vgate. This can be connected to the app either via WiFi or Bluetooth and always connects with ease. The WiFi connection is probably the fastest and most responsive option but the Bluetooth system also works well.

The adapter is clearly built to a high standard that matches Vgate’s solid reputation in the industry. It’s extremely rugged and you’ll have no problem chucking it in the glovebox to take out on road trips or a call-out.

• Great for in-depth investigation
• Pairs easily with third-party OBD2 adapters
• Impressive smog test feature
• There are some knock-off versions of the Vgate adapter floating around, so be careful!

The CarScanner ELM OBD2 application works with any adapter that is ELM 327 based. Therefore, there are a few Bluetooth or Wifi based adapters that work well and are affordable. Any adapter with ELM 327 is basically a small computer that can connect with your vehicle and give full information reads.

That being said, the best adapter choice is any ELM327 based device that has version 1.4 or 2.1. Users should beware of cheap knock-off devices before purchase. Many users have complained about devices that are not compatible or a knock-off device. A noteworthy tip: cheaper devices do not promise good quality results.

7. OBD Auto Doctor

• Best Compatible Adapter: PLX Devices Kiwi 4 Bluetooth Scanner for iOS Android

OBD Auto Doctor is an effective OBD2 app for Android and iOS devices that ensures your vehicle stays fit and healthy throughout its lifespan. It is available in nearly every region around the world.

OBD Auto Doctor completes all the basic functions that we’ve come to expect from capable OBD2 apps. It can turn off the check engine light following a repair and can read most trouble codes almost instantly.

Aside from being able to turn off the check engine light, OBD Auto Doctor also lets users dabble in more advanced diagnostics. For example, you can watch real-time data unfold as you perform vehicle functions, and combine this with freeze-frame data for great analysis opportunities.

Additionally, you can access parts of a vehicle’s CPU to really get a sense of how the car is performing. You probably won’t be able to perform any in-depth ECU re-coding using OBD Auto Doctor, but just being able to see what your computer is up to is a good feature.

As soon as you connect the app to the Bluetooth transmitter, the adapter reads your vehicle’s VIN information and instantly lets the app know the make and model.

Not only does this allow the app to tailor its functions correctly, but this could also be a useful feature for anyone buying a new car who wants to check that the vehicle is exactly what the seller is claiming it is.

Our favorite adapter to use with OBD Auto Doctor is the PLX Devices Kiwi 4.

This is a very capable transmitter that has never let us down and works well with the Auto Doctor’s real-time data functions. Having said that, the OBD Auto Doctor can be paired with most third-party adapters if you’d prefer to use something else.

Having said that, FIXD is the number one pick of mechanics across the globe. Click here to see a full FIXD review. For example, some OBD2 tools will be excellent code readers, able to uncover all the problems in your car in a matter of seconds, whilst others will be geared towards customization and ECU re-coding. It’s important that you don’t get carried away by the number of features an app offers – it’s always best to choose one that is specialized to your needs. All the OBD2 apps on the list are fantastic options and we’d highly recommend that you try out as many as you can to find the one that’s best for you. Most of them are compatible with third-party transmitters so you won’t need a new one for each app.

There are plenty of free OBD2 apps for Android and iOS available but if you want to access some of the most advanced OBD2 functions, then you’ll probably have to pay for the service. This is often in the form of a monthly or yearly subscription plan, but sometimes you can make a one-off payment. FIXD app offers an impressive range of features and can act as a driver’s main source of vehicle support and information. It goes way beyond just being able to disable the check engine light and even has features such as ECU coding. There are many other paid options available and we talked about quite a few of them in our rundown. It’s worth remembering that you’ll also have to pay for a Bluetooth transmitter to link up to your app, so make sure to factor this in when you’re working out the true cost of any OBD app you choose.

Most of the best OBD2 apps for Android and iOS will be compatible with all OBD2 compliant vehicles. An OBD2 compliant vehicle is one that was built after 1996. If you want to run diagnostics on a car that was made before 1996, then you’ll need an OBD1 tool . If you want to confirm whether an app or transmitter is compatible with your car before you buy, then you should head on over to their respective app store and product pages. Most companies will usually list the car brands that their software works with. If you can’t find this information easily, then don’t be afraid to get in touch with their customer service teams. All of them are very friendly and would be glad to help you make a more informed choice about your purchase. You can also check out customer reviews and OBD2 forums to see if anyone else has used the product you’re looking at.

Most auto diagnostic apps will actually be compatible with any third-party wireless transmitter. This is particularly true for those apps that don’t have their own dedicated transmitter available, such as the Torque Pro app featured on our list. However, if you want to get the most out of your diagnostic app, then we’d advise you to go with FIXD recommendations on our list. Some OBD2 apps just work better with certain adapters and you should definitely choose one that works in harmony if you have the option.

OBD2 is a diagnostic system on all vehicles built after 1996. Some cars made before 1996 did have a diagnostic system built-in, but it wasn’t a requirement by law. Reading the diagnostics of a car built before 1996 usually requires a separate OBD1 tool. OBD2 systems can quickly recognize when there are things going wrong within the vehicle’s systems. When this happens, the computer produces OBD2 error codes and deciphers them with an OBD2 diagnostic tool or app. OBD2 also allows mechanics to gain access to advanced information about vehicle performance. By using vehicle sensors spread across a car’s systems, an OBD2 tool can quickly gather information and report it back to the mechanic. This is why you’ll be able to find an OBD tool in nearly every workshop across the globe – they allow mechanics to save loads of time, money, and resources.

If you’re looking for a great OBD2 app for Android, then you’re in luck. There are loads of options available to Android users and every one of them offers its own unique benefits. There are some high-quality free code readers and there are some expensive subscription apps – which you choose all depends on what you need the app to do. Having said that, out of all the options on our list FIXD is the best, so if you’re looking for the best OBD2 app for Android, that’s a good place to start. We included a range of options that this device does. The Android operating system works on thousands of different devices around the world. If you own a phone or tablet that isn’t iOS-based, then it’s highly likely that you are able to download OBD2 apps from the Android store. We’d probably say that it’s best to own an Android device if you want to run car diagnostics.

Various data tools work with KIA, Chevy, Nissan, Dodge, Volkswagen, or Volvo vehicles, but it makes sense to find one that suits your particular car. For example, some great Nissan OBD2 scanners include BlueDriver Wireless Professional OBDII Scanner, Foseal WiFi OBDII, and BAFX Products 34t5 Bluetooth OBDII.

Also, OBDII is standard, but there are up to five distinct kinds of hardware communication protocols used by OBDII vehicles. Some loggers are compatible with all five while others are manufacturer specific.

To sum this up, take ample time to understand your car’s needs and pick the most appropriate OBD2 data logger.

Things to consider when buying an OBD2 tool

Assumedly, you have several brands and models in mind, so you are trying to weigh the options you have. The typical advice is to always opt for a feature-packed OBD2 data logger, preferably one that comes as a kit or bundle.

High-end units are less likely to have incompatibility issues, and that’s what car owners want. You’ll need to play close attention to these features when selecting the right tool :

• VIN compatibility – Should be able to display your vehicle’s VIN
• Upgradable – Ability to update the tool to work with newer car models
• Airbag capability – Tool needs to detect and reset your airbag
• On screen definitions – Codes should show with their definitions
• Real time logging – Data about engine, and car performance should be live
• Adequate storage – Saves car’s data for later access, retrieval, and analysis

If you are not confident about the right option, don’t just pick one that feels good. At least, get recommendations and advice from experts that understand your vehicle better.

The options are many

The on-board diagnostic products mentioned above are some of the popular options in the market, but that does not mean your choices are limited. Other great tools include ScanTool, Car WiFi, and BAFX.

Many car owners tend to opt for Bluetooth devices as they can be used with mobile phones to diagnose your vehicle better. They also boast fast data reporting and performance thus providing you useful information about your vehicle’s status.

If you travel a lot in your car, having an OBD2 data logger is essential in keeping your vehicle at its maximum performance at all times. So, you will always enjoy peace of mind as you drive.

The good thing is that data loggers can be used on both personal and commercial vehicles for those who want to make their onboard diagnostics convenient and efficient.

The ball is in your court

At this point, you now have some clarity on what OBD2 mileage tracker and scanner to choose. So, it shouldn’t be a challenging task to decide on the right tool to buy and install.

Whether you are purchasing online or from a local store, take the time to identify the key features and other essential elements. Today, most car owners tend to pay much attention to the power consumption of the device.

Having an OBD2 tool helps to cut your car’s expenses because you can identify and fix issues early enough before they worsen. It is also helpful to learn and understand the trouble codes to ensure you stay ahead of any potential problem.

If you have an ARB certified vehicle with a PZEV rating, the manufacturer warranty covers any OBD2-detected problem as long as your car is less than 15 years old and the mileage is below 150,000.

So, identify your options and pick the right OBD2 data logger for your vehicle.

It’s worth the investment!

The OBDLink® app can log vehicle data to a CSV file automatically. If logging is enabled, the logged data can be viewed on the Files screen of the Logs menu, and it can be exported for use by an external program of your choice. 

By default, logging is enabled and a CSV file is automatically created when the app is connected to the vehicle. However, you will most likely want to change the logging settings to capture the data that you want.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Logging Enabled

Logging trigger, logging control, select items to log, time format, number of decimals, view information while driving, messages  , need more help, set up log preferences.

To configure logging, open the Settings > Preferences > Logging page. This screen may look different depending upon the device that you use. Each setting on this screen is described below.

This option enables or disables the logging feature. [Default setting is Enabled]  

When logging is enabled, a new CSV log file will be created automatically each time the app connects to your vehicle.

The logging trigger configures when a frame of data is recorded to a CSV file. A single frame of data contains one data point for each sensor being logged. The following options are available:

• Trigger on GPS frame [Default setting] - A frame of data is saved to file when a new GPS reading is captured from your phone or device. GPS readings are usually captured at a rate of one per second. This logging trigger is the most useful when you are using the CSV logs to view data on the Maps screen. If you are exporting the CSV files for use outside of OBDLink, then you might want to consider using one of the other logging triggers. Note: If GPS is disabled or your device is not receiving a GPS signal, then there will be nothing to trigger the data logger and a CSV file will not be created. 
• Trigger on PID frame – A frame of data is saved to file when the OBDLink app refreshes each sensor being logged. For example, if vehicle speed, engine RPM, and engine load are being logged to a file, the app will read one sample of each of the three items from the vehicle, then the data will be written to the log file. This logging trigger is useful if you want to export the log files and want to have data points at the same rate as they are read from the vehicle. Note: This option provides the fastest sampling rate. 
• Trigger at a fixed sample time – A frame of data is saved to file at a fixed sample time. The sample time is configurable on the Logging screen. In this trigger mode, the OBDLink app keeps track of the most up-to-date frame of data read from the vehicle. When the logging sample time expires, that frame of data is written to a CSV file. This logging trigger is most useful if you want to export the log files and want the data at a constant sample rate. Note: If the sample time is faster than the rate at which data is read from the vehicle, you will see multiple rows in the log file with the same data points. 

This option determines whether logging is Automatic or Manual. 

• Automatic [Default setting] - Logging starts when the app connects to the vehicle. 
• Navigate to Logs > Graphs and tap the Play icon. 
• Set up a dashboard gauge using the push button style and the action to Start or Stop Logging. Refer to the Add and Edit dashboard gauges article for details on how to set up a gauge.

This option opens a sub-screen for you to select which PIDs (such as RPM or coolant temperature) you want to record to a CSV file. [Default PIDs are vehicle speed, latitude, and longitude]

If GPS is not turned on, you will be able to select GPS PIDs in this screen, however, no data will be returned.

To search for a particular PID:

• Android: Use the global search function at the top of the list. 
• iOS: Select the PID category (such as SAE PIDs) and search within it.

CSV File Options

All CSV log files contain a column with the time at which the frame was captured. The time format option determines whether the time column is written as seconds (from the start of the log) or as a full date and time stamp. [Default is seconds]  

This setting determines the number of decimal places used to write data to the CSV file. [Default is Auto]  

By default, the OBDLink app enables trip logging for certain vehicle PIDs (vehicle speed, longitude, and latitude), so you can view log data even if you haven’t changed any of the options described above.

Note: The info presented in the Graphs view is a separate visual representation of PIDs that you select. It allows you to view up to four PIDs while the vehicle is in motion. It is not related to the CSV file PID selections.

Before you begin, be sure to: 

• Start your vehicle and connect your phone/tablet to your OBDLink adapter.
• Make sure your phone/tablet is not streaming to any other Bluetooth/BLE devices.
• Confirm that your phone/tablet is Connected to the OBDLink adapter.

Tap Menu (iOS) or the Gear icon (Android) to log different items.

We selected Transmission Fluid Temperature as a third item in the iOS example screenshots below.

Why you shouldn’t use OBD-II dongles to verify mileage

Sr. Content Writer

Whether we’re looking at pay-per-mile products, usage-based pricing, or traditional policies, mileage verification plays an important role in all kinds of auto insurance products. Many insurance companies use aftermarket hardware like OBD-II dongles to verify mileage. Here’s what this hardware solution lacks and how you can use a successful software-based alternative.

Why OBD-II dongles are bad at verifying mileage

While on-board diagnostics dongles (OBD) are versatile and useful for tracking and diagnostics, they are far from ideal when it comes to mileage verification.

• Inaccuracy: It might surprise you, but on-board diagnostics dongles aren’t able to access a vehicle’s actual odometer reading. Instead, OBD dongles calculate a car’s approximate mileage information based on its location as well as the start and end of the driver’s trips. As you can imagine, inferring mileage from location and trips comes with inevitable inaccuracies. On top of that, if the dongle wrongly detects the start or end of a trip, small imprecisions can turn into significant errors.
• Inconvenience and unintentional failure: OBD-II dongles, like all hardware devices, need to be correctly installed and used. Policyholders have to wait for a package in the mail and spend time installing the device in their vehicle. This lengthy onboarding process causes many prospects to drop off, if it doesn’t discourage them from requesting a quote in the first place. Once installed, devices can easily fail due to a loose connection or if customers accidentally knock them out of place. Finally, OBD dongles can draw too much power and cause a customer’s car battery to die.
• Intentional tamper: Beyond the risk of incorrect installation and unintentional failure, some customers will deliberately commit mileage fraud. Policyholders might unplug their device before going on a long trip, and your product will take some time to detect the tamper. By the time your customer re-installs the dongle, they might have driven 10 miles or 500 miles. In hindsight, you won’t be able to determine this number, let alone the amount of premium leakage caused to your company.
• Privacy concerns: As consumer privacy is becoming an increasingly pressing issue, insurance companies have a hard time gaining their customers’ trust. Policyholders are skeptical towards constant tracking, and with good cause. OBD devices are essentially black boxes that provide little transparency about the kind of information they collect, how it gets passed on to the insurance company, and how it is being used.
• High expenses: Finally, OBD-II dongles are a significant cost factor. Your business will have to purchase OBD devices, ship them to policyholders, and replace them in case of damage or loss. If customers switch to a different insurance provider before your business has recovered the initial hardware cost, your profits will be dropping, not rising.

Why APIs are great at verifying mileage

As cars are becoming increasingly internet-connected, we don’t always have to depend on hardware to do the things that matter most. Smartcar is a pure software alternative that uses API technology to offer the perfect mileage verification solution to auto insurance companies .

• Accurate: APIs return a car’s real odometer reading — not an estimate of how far the vehicle has travelled based on trips and location. Your business will be able to finally provide precise pricing and underwriting, while your customers will never again complain about inaccurately reported mileage.
• Easy to use and reliable: Smartcar’s onboarding process just takes a few clicks from any mobile or web app. Customers will no longer have to wait to receive a device in the mail. They won’t have to install any hardware in their vehicle, but will simply log into their existing car account and accept a list of permissions. Once that’s done, customers won’t need to worry about incorrect installations, loose connections, or dead car batteries.
• Tamper-resistant: With a car API , your insurance product will be able to read a car’s actual odometer regularly and automatically. Customers won’t be able to commit mileage fraud, because they won’t be able to hide or rig any information. This way, you won’t ever need to worry about lost profits from premium leakage again.
• Privacy first: Our onboarding flow with granular permissions puts transparency and user privacy first. Customers will see exactly which information your insurance app is asking for (e.g. a vehicle’s odometer, location, or fuel tank level). With the push of a button, they can choose to accept or deny this list of permissions.
• Cost-efficient: Smartcar offers simple SaaS pricing that scales and adjusts to your needs. You won’t spend time and money on hardware devices, shipping, replacements, and repairs. Instead, your company will be able to save up and spend more time on the important thing: building incredible insurance experiences for your customers.
