    Hi,

    We need the OBD PID commands and how to interpret the returned data. Since this is not easily available for most vehicles there is not possibility for us to provide a time estimate.

    You can check our telemetry API for relevant properties:
    documenter.getpostman.com/view/7396339/SWTK5a8w

    Also, you can check our (partially outdated) OBD repository to see what other cars report:
    https://www.github.com/iternio/ev-obd-pids

    If you find that an existing vehicle profile reads data correctly, please let us know, but please DO NOT keep using the incorrect vehicle model with live data.

      Could be that the PIDs we use for an already supported vehicle model could work. Here’s what you can do once you have access to the vehicle and a dongle;

      1. Select the actual model of your car, save it

      2. In vehicle settings, change the model of the saved vehicle to one that you suspect has compatible OBD commands (just any model will not work, it needs to be compatible)

      3. Link the vehicle via OBD (details here; OBD Connection )

      4. Select the correct vehicle model again

      5. After verifying that the data is read correctly (or even partially correctly) notify us that the OBD commands for vehicle model X also works for vehicle model Y.
