THE AI NAMES THE PRICE Every likely cause in a verdict now comes with a typical repair price for your country: parts and labour at an independent shop. It is a ballpark, not a quote, but you know whether you are looking at a sensor or a gearbox before you call a mechanic. How likely each cause is is now said in words, as the AI judges it, instead of percentages that only reflected the order of the list. WEAK SPOTS OF YOUR MODEL The garage shows what owners of the same model and year report most often to the US safety regulator: which systems, how many reports, at what mileage, and the owners' own stories. The AI engineer takes these into account, and one tap asks it what they mean for your car. 9,500 CODES EXPLAINED The offline database grew from 590 to more than 9,500 standard codes, in English, German and Russian, including ABS, airbag and network codes that a module read finds. For ten makes there are also manufacturer meanings, marked as a reference that can differ by model. CAR HEALTH ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A new widget for the home and lock screen: health score, the most serious active code and the next service due. RECALLS IN YOUR LANGUAGE Recall titles name the system in your language, and "Explain with AI" retells the regulator's English text and tells you what to do. EASIER TO USE • Your codes fit on the first screen of the Codes tab again; the can-I-drive verdict folds into one line. • No adapter yet? Try the demo or type in codes right from the Codes tab. • Manufacturer parameters are grouped by module. • The fault log says what its checkmark does, and "Clear codes" no longer looks as inviting as "Read". • Trips, mileage and 0–100 timings use your language's units and number format.

THE AI ENGINEER, FRONT AND CENTRE The Codes tab now opens with the AI engineer: analyse the car, describe a symptom or a sound, ask about a dashboard light, or explain any code. Your last verdict sits right under it, one tap from the full history. NO CODE? DESCRIBE WHAT YOU NOTICE A knock over bumps, a squeal on a cold start, a sweet smell in the cabin: most problems leave no fault code. Pick what it is, when it happens and where it comes from, add your own words if you like, and the AI engineer tells you what usually causes it on this car, how to check, and whether it is safe to drive. Pistonly doesn't record audio: you describe the sound, just as you would to a mechanic on the phone. CHOOSE WHAT TO ANALYSE Every code found on the car, or in the module results, has a checkbox. Analyse them all together, or only the ones you pick. Tap a code itself to open it in full, with its own AI explanation. EXPLAIN ANY CODE Type a code from a dealer report or another scanner and get the database entry plus an AI explanation for your car. No adapter needed. THE AI ENGINEER IS NOW PART OF PRO Every AI feature, from verdicts and symptoms to dashboard lights and oil advice, now comes with Pro. Your saved verdicts, the code database with its can-I-drive verdicts, recalls and the rest of the free tools stay free. With your own Claude or Perplexity key the AI works without Pro. MORE CARS Manufacturer profiles for 216 models, all inside the app and working offline. The car catalog gained ten makes, including Cupra, MG, Polestar, Zeekr and Li Auto, and around a hundred models, with duplicate entries cleaned up. FIXES • When the AI couldn't answer and offline rules stepped in, there was no way back to the AI. The result now has a button to ask again. • Every re-run of a diagnosis is saved to the history, and a verdict reopened from the cache no longer appears there twice. • On a car used once, module reads could use the addresses of the car selected in the garage, and codes of a previous car could stay on screen. Both fixed. • A car used once warns that its verdicts are kept only until you close the app, and can be saved in one tap. • When our AI service is down, the message says so plainly. • If the adapter doesn't answer, for example asleep with the ignition off, the app no longer shows "Connecting…" forever: it gives up after 15 seconds and says why. ALSO • Every window has a close button in the top right. • Instruments moved into Tools, and every tab has the same header. • "Read the modules" sits right under the AI engineer. • Clearer names: inspection readiness, explaining a dashboard light. • In the diagnostician's interview, yes and no answers can take a few words of detail.

WHAT OIL, WHICH FUEL The question every owner has when nothing is broken. In the shop there is a wall of cans, all of them say "suitable", and the choice gets made on price. Pistonly answers it for your engine: the manufacturer approval, not just the viscosity, the capacity and the interval, the octane your engine actually requires against the octane worth paying for, and what owners of this engine typically get wrong. Free, and no adapter needed. WHAT ACTUALLY FIXED THIS CODE A code card used to end with a hypothesis. Now it also carries evidence: the parts that fixed this code on the same model and generation, reported by owners who came back and said what worked. Nothing is shown until three independent reports agree, because one answer is a coincidence, not a pattern. Above that sits your own service book: if you already did work for this code, the card says so, and says the code came back after it. SERVICE REMINDERS The app has been working out the schedule since 1.6, but you only found out you were overdue by opening the screen, which is a reminder for people who already remember. Now it tells you. Everything overdue on one car arrives as a single message rather than three in a row, and reminders are off until you turn them on. A REPORT FOR THE MECHANIC The codes screen could export JSON and CSV, which are formats for another program. At a service desk somebody looks at a sheet of paper or at your phone. The new PDF holds the same content in a readable shape: the car, every code with its plain-language name and the can-I-drive verdict, and what you already did for those codes. That last part is what saves the mechanic half an hour. THE VALUES ONLY THIS APP READS, NOW IN THE RECORDING A recorded drive used to hold standard sensors only. Now manufacturer parameters ride along: transmission oil temperature, the pressure in one particular tyre, an EV cell. The AI analysis of the drive sees them too, so a verdict can rest on the value that actually explains the behaviour. MORE OF IT IS FREE Five full AI analyses a month instead of three. Drive Mode with lap timing is now free. The dashboard light explainer got a budget of its own, so asking about a light no longer eats into your analyses. MODULES Select all or clear the selection in one tap, and the count follows what you tick by hand afterwards. FIXES • Pro subscribers were being held to the free monthly limit and refused from the sixth analysis. Fixed, and the limit for Pro is gone as it always should have been. • The VIN could reach our servers inside a module identification when you asked what a module was. It never leaves the device now, on the client and on the server. • The batch counter could read "8 of 5" while reading or clearing modules. • The record button in the drive log looked active while it was disabled.

WATCH THE VALUES YOUR CAR KEEPS TO ITSELF Manufacturer parameters could be read, but only as a snapshot. Now you can put an eye on any of them and watch it live while you drive or rev the engine: the pressure in one particular tyre, transmission oil temperature, an EV cell's state of charge. The choice is remembered per car, and the screen shows the real refresh rate rather than pretending these read as fast as standard sensors. MODULES WITH NAMES, NOT ADDRESSES A module found outside the standard tables used to be called "Module 753", which tells nobody anything. Pistonly now works out what a module is from what it actually reports: the one returning four wheel speeds is brakes, the one returning four tyre pressures is tyre monitoring. Where a whole make agrees across its models, the name applies even to a car whose own profile is silent. Fifty-nine addresses across sixteen makes, and every one of them backed by at least three models agreeing. THE REAL WARNING LIGHTS The dashboard light screen now draws the actual telltales, the same symbols your instrument cluster uses, at a consistent size. Picking the light you are looking at is a lot easier when it looks like the light you are looking at. SIX MORE FAULT CODES P0847, P0882, P2036, P2413, P2562 and P2610 were missing outright and now read properly. FIXES • On imperial units, some readings kept their metric labels. Live data and Drive Mode could disagree on the same value. • A fault code whose name we only had in an unexpected language rendered a card with no name at all. • A Bluetooth failure could report the reason as "unknown" in the middle of a translated sentence.

PARAMETERS YOUR CAR NEVER SHOWED BEFORE Pistonly now ships diagnostic profiles for 205 models and reads what the generic OBD-II set does not expose at all: the pressure in each individual tyre, steering angle, temperatures and voltages from modules the standard mode never talks to. A Cayenne has 28 of these, a RAV4 has 215. Open Tools, pick Manufacturer parameters, and they are simply there. No packs to import, no PIDs to type. MODULES THAT USED TO STAY SILENT The way Pistonly addresses control units was rebuilt. It now learns which CAN ID a module actually answers from instead of assuming one, sends the flow control that multi-frame answers need, and understands makes where every module sits behind a single tester address rather than its own. On BMW that difference is the whole reason modules were invisible before. CODES THAT EXPLAIN THEMSELVES A code is no longer just a number. The failure type byte is decoded, so P1F35-13 reads as an open circuit and P2BAC-64 as an implausible reading — the difference between checking a wire and checking the sensor. It works on every make, including codes we have no entry for. Brand-specific meanings now ship for Ford, GM, Toyota and Lexus, Honda and Acura, Nissan and Infiniti, Hyundai and Kia, and the VW group, kept apart per brand on purpose: P1602 is a supply voltage drop on a Toyota and terminal 30 on a VAG car. The status byte tells you which of your twelve codes is the one turning on the dashboard light, and whether a fault is happening right now or was recorded last winter. THE LIGHT IS ON BUT NOTHING WAS FOUND That is not a contradiction, and the app now explains why instead of leaving you to guess: the code may live in a module the codes tab never asks, a permanent code may be holding the light, or the fault is gone and only the record stayed. Each with the right next step. WHAT IS THAT LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD? Pick the symbol or describe it in your own words, before reading any codes and even without an adapter plugged in. You get what it means on your car, how urgent it is, and the codes worth looking for. MODULES WITH NAMES, NOT ADDRESSES A module outside our tables used to be called "Module 753", which tells a person nothing. It is now named by what it actually reports: the one sending wheel speeds is the brakes, the one sending tyre pressures is the tyre pressure system. Nothing is named on a guess, so a module we cannot place keeps its address, and for those you can ask the AI what it is. That answer is kept with the car and marked as a lead, not a fact. READ THE WHOLE CAR IN ONE TAP Everything that answers, read in one pass, with a summary of how many codes were found in how many modules and how many of them light the lamp. The result exports as a report you can hand to a mechanic. ALSO • Exhaust gas temperature, where the ECU reports it. • A code that keeps coming back is now flagged as recurring. • The freeze frame reaches the AI diagnosis, not just the code card. • Compare a drive before and after a repair, matched by driving regime. • Reconnecting is faster: the bus protocol is remembered per car. • An explained code is remembered per car: next time it opens instantly, offline, without spending a diagnosis. • Code explanations are now properly translated instead of appearing in the wrong language.

ASK ABOUT YOUR CAR, NOT JUST READ CODES After the AI gives its verdict you can keep asking: what to check first, whether it's safe to drive, what the repair usually costs. The diagnostician already knows this car's codes, its history and what it told you last time, so you don't re-explain anything. Pro. FREE REPAIRS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT Pistonly now checks the manufacturer's safety recalls for your model and year. Recall work is done free of charge by a dealer, whoever owns the car now, and most owners never find out. Campaigns the regulator marks "do not drive" or "park outside" are flagged in red. DRIVE MODE Phone in the mount, speed in huge digits, revs as a bar you can read at a glance, best acceleration times and the distance of this drive. The screen stays awake while it's open. Pro. MODULE SCANS THAT SURVIVE A DROPPED CONNECTION The scan used to save nothing until it finished: lose the link at address sixty and the whole hour was gone. Now every address is saved the moment it answers, you can stop the scan on purpose, and the next run picks up exactly where it left off instead of starting over. MODULES OTHER OWNERS ALREADY FOUND Addresses confirmed on cars of the same model and generation now show up before you scan anything. You can read codes from them right away; clearing still waits until the address is confirmed on your own car, because clearing writes to the module. ALSO • Stop and resume applies to reading and clearing codes in bulk too. • The "can I drive" verdict is passed into the AI analysis, so the banner and the AI can't contradict each other.

CAN I DRIVE IT? NOW YOU GET AN ANSWER Every fault code now comes with a straight verdict: better not to drive, drivable but fix it, or fine to drive. It works offline, the moment the code is read, with no waiting and no subscription. The code list itself is topped by the worst one it found, so you know where you stand before you read a single line. A HEALTH SCORE FOR YOUR CAR One number out of 100, in your garage, built from what Pistonly has actually seen: active faults weighted by how serious they are, servicing that is overdue, and what your last recorded drive showed. Tap it and every deduction is listed with its weight. If Pistonly has nothing to go on yet, it says so instead of inventing a score. PRE-PURCHASE CHECK (PRO) Looking at a used car? One pass collects what the seller would rather you missed: codes cleared just before the viewing (the monitors give it away), permanent codes, faults sitting in other control units, and mileage that disagrees between modules. You get a verdict and a report you can share on the spot. FIXED: MODULES YOUR CAR ACTUALLY HAS Addresses for VW/Audi/Seat/Škoda/Porsche control units were wrong, so scans came back empty and modules stayed locked. They are now the real ones. And the module scan lives on the Modules screen itself, right next to the rows it unlocks. FIXED: "LIGHT IS ON, NO CODES FOUND" When two control units answered at once, one of them could be ignored and its codes lost. Codes are now read per control unit and merged. ALSO • Readiness asks what is actually lit on your dashboard before saying anything about passing an inspection. • Past AI verdicts are reachable from Garage, from the activity feed and from the diagnostician itself.

RECORD A DRIVE, LET THE AI READ IT Record a whole drive and Pistonly logs every sensor your ECU exposes. The AI then reads the entire drive at once — comparing idle, cruising and hard pulls separately, because a reading that's off at idle but normal under load means something very different from one that's off everywhere. It works even with no fault codes, for when the car just feels wrong and the light never comes on. Before you spend an AI call, the app already flags patterns on its own, offline and instantly: a lean mixture and where it's lean, a thermostat stuck open, charging trouble, an unstable idle, timing pulled under load. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Your garage now shows what's due. Pistonly reads your service book together with the drives it recorded and flags what's overdue — by distance or by time, whichever ran out first. A car that mostly sits still still ages its oil. WILL YOU PASS THE EMISSIONS TEST? The readiness screen now answers that question directly instead of showing raw monitor flags. A lit check engine light fails the test even when every monitor is complete, while a single incomplete monitor is normally allowed — the old screen got both wrong. It also spots the tell-tale pattern of recently cleared codes, which is worth knowing before you buy a used car. NOW IN GERMAN The whole app is available in German. ALSO • Clearing codes now shows exactly what will and won't be erased, and warns that it resets the readiness monitors — so you don't clear them right before an inspection. • Fixed buttons that only responded when you tapped the text itself.
