Auto Parts Identifier: PartsIQ
Identify cables & car repair
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Snap any car part, cable or tool to see what it is, what it does and which part numbers fit your car. Circle the part you mean, then ask the parts advisor.
What is that part? Take a photo, and PartsIQ tells you what it is, what it does, which part numbers fit your car and where to get one.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Take a photo of the part, cable, connector or tool. More than one thing in the shot? Tap the photo to circle the one you mean.
2. PartsIQ's AI identifies it.
3. You get its name, what it does, when to replace it and whether it's a DIY job. Detailed and Expert reports add full specs, compatibility, install tips and a cost comparison.
MY VEHICLE
Add your car once. Enter the VIN and PartsIQ fills in the year, make, model and engine, or type them in yourself. Every identification and chat then uses your vehicle for fitment and part numbers.
CAR PARTS, CABLES AND HARDWARE
Under the hood, under the car or on the body: sensors, hoses, belts, brake parts, fuses, filters and more. Your cable drawer too: USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, Ethernet, audio and power cables. Plus tools, fasteners and fittings.
MAINTENANCE PLANS YOU CAN CHECK OFF
Describe the job ("60,000 mile service for my car") and PartsIQ writes a step-by-step checklist with the tools and supplies. Keep it under Checklists and tick off each step.
ASK THE PARTS ADVISOR
Chat about any scanned part: compatibility, replacement, where to buy, how to install. Answers can search the web for current part numbers.
Every identification is saved, and your newest scans show right on Home.
Available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese.
