Want to beta test Sidecar and get two months free? Visit http://sidecar.clutch.engineering/beta/ to learn more.

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 v1.18.0

Thank you to the Sidecar beta testers for making this release one of the biggest releases yet!

Notable improvements, by category:

## CarPlay
Two significant bugs fixed:
1. Labels weren’t rendering properly.
2. The vehicle image would sometimes get offset from your current location.

## Vehicle support
The IONIQ PHEV now has its own symbol.
- Hybrid vehicle battery widgets now show both fuel and battery history.

## Trip logging
Trip reports are now shrink-wrapped, meaning idle times from the start and end of trips are now automatically trimmed. Trip reports are now more accurate as a result.

## Widgets
- The state widget’s fuel and battery bars no longer jump when moving to 100% for hybrid vehicles.
- The default vehicle preference and tapping widgets now correctly opens the app to the selected vehicle.
- You can now theme the State of Health widget’s colors. The default values have been tuned for typical State of Health values.

## OBD scanning

- OBD scalar values can now be connected to the pluggedIn and isCharging parameters.

## Quality
