Sidecar is designed specifically for Apple platforms and with privacy and data security in mind. It's your car, your data, your journey.

No connected services on your car? No problem: use an OBD scanner + iCloud sync to see your offline car data on your Apple Watch, iPad, and widgets.

The app works best in combination with an OBD scanner and/or a Connected Account (Beta). Without either, you can still pull NHTSA recall notices for your vehicle and track trips.

Get 30 seconds of OBD scanning for free. Extend this time by purchasing ScanPasses for either 24 hours or 7 days, or by purchasing a subscription.

What’s New

Version v1.19.0

# CarPlay widgets  
You can now configure the Sidecar widgets that are displayed in CarPlay. Choose from vehicle state, range remaining, and tire pressure. New buttons have also been designed for the CarPlay UI, making them easier to see in more contexts.  

# Improved trip logging  
The Sidecar trip logger has been fine-tuned and optimized to handle more edge cases. The trip logger will now conclude trips more confidently and handles transitions from car to walking and vice versa more consistently. The journeys timeline now also filters out noisy trips.

# OBD parameter pinning  
You can now pin OBD parameters which will cause them to appear on your vehicle's home page and update in real time when connected to your car via OBD.

# More hybrid refinements  
Hybrid vehicle widgets will now show any available information! If your hybrid is only reporting fuel data, this data will now be visible in the state widet.   

# More vehicles  
New vehicle symbols are now available: Toyota bZ4X, Honda CR-V, the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, and SEAT León.

# OBDb  
Sidecar now uses the OBD-II Database (OBDb) as its official source for all OBD parameter information. The OBDb is an open source collective project to document vehicle diagnostics parameters and new vehicles are being added every week.

# Battery optimizations  
Various features in Sidecar have been optimized to reduce battery usage.

# Points of interest  
The points of interest will now only appear for vehicles that support the feature (specifically, the Porsche Taycan). This feature is expected to return for all cars in the future.

# Bugs and crashes  
Various bugs and crashes have been resolved. Thank you to the beta testing community for the incredible feedback!
