Description

Your personal automative assistant and OBD scanner, now supporting CarPlay, Shortcuts, and iCloud sync.

Electric 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.

## Privacy and security

## OBD scanner

- Use a connected OBD scanner to read real-time data from your vehicle.
- Requires a separate purchase of an OBD scanner.
