Meet Obie, your AI mechanic. Plug an OBD-II scanner into your car, and Obie reads your car's own computer and tells you what is wrong, in plain words.
A warning light comes on and never says why. A basic code reader gives you P0420: five characters that mean nothing. ScanMyCar reads everything your car shares, trouble codes from every module and up to 139 live sensors, and Obie looks at all of it. You learn what is wrong, how urgent it is, and what to do first.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Plug a Bluetooth OBD-II scanner into the port under your steering wheel. The ScanMyCar OBD-II Scanner is built for iPhone, and the app also works with other Bluetooth Low Energy OBD-II scanners.
2. Sign in with your email and connect to your car over Bluetooth.
3. Ask Obie anything about your car.
HEALTH CHECK
Obie checks your car one system at a time: engine, fuel, ignition, emissions, battery and cooling. You get a clear verdict (drive normally, check soon, or stop) and the first things to do.
ASK OBIE
Chat about your car. Obie's answers come from your real data: the codes it found, live readings, readiness monitors and the freeze frame your car saved when a fault set. Add a photo of a part or a warning light. When a test would help, Obie guides you through it step by step.
TROUBLE CODES
Read stored, pending and permanent codes from every module, see what each code means in plain words, and clear codes when the fault is fixed.
LIVE DATA
Watch speed, RPM, coolant temperature, battery voltage and the other live sensors your car reports. With Pro, go deeper: up to 139 sensors in all, including fuel trims, oxygen sensors and catalyst temperatures.
WARNINGS YOU CAN HEAR
When a reading crosses a dangerous line, for example coolant close to overheating or a battery voltage drop, ScanMyCar tells you out loud. When your phone is locked, it sends a notification.
DRIVES
Keep ScanMyCar open while you drive, and it records the trip: distance, time, speed and fuel cost. Obie can analyze a drive for you.
YOUR DATA
You sign in with your email. There is no password. Your car's data is kept on your phone and in your account, so a new phone finds your history. No ads and no trackers. You can delete your account from Settings at any time.
WHAT YOU NEED
An iPhone, a Bluetooth Low Energy OBD-II scanner, and a gas car or light truck sold in the US since 1996.
FREE AND PRO
Trouble codes and live sensors are free. ScanMyCar Pro unlocks Obie: health checks, Obie chat, ride analysis and guided tests, plus advanced sensors, custom dashboards, HUD mode, performance timers, Mode 06 tests and CSV export. Pro is an auto-renewable subscription: $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year, charged to your Apple ID. It renews until you cancel it in your App Store settings.
Obie explains what your car reports and points you in the right direction. It does not replace a professional mechanic.
