About DriveHub: Car & Bike OBD2
DriveHub - the AI mechanic that actually explains your car Your check engine light comes on. DriveHub tells you what it means, why it happened, and what it's likely to cost - in plain English, not mechanic jargon. Plug in a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi OBD-II adapter and your iPhone becomes a real diagnostic tool, for any car, truck, or motorcycle with OBD-II - no proprietary dongle required. CAR HEALTH - ONE TAP, THE WHOLE CAR One check reads every part of your car DriveHub can reach - engine, brakes, steering, climate, body - and measures your battery and charging. You get a score and a plain-English list of what needs attention, what's only worth watching, and what couldn't be read. Check again later and DriveHub shows what changed, charts your battery voltage over time, and warns you when it starts to fade - before it leaves you stranded. AI COPILOT Ask DriveHub about your fault codes, live data, or driving habits and get a context-aware answer from your vehicle's actual data - not a generic chatbot reciting a code lookup table. LIVE DIAGNOSTICS Real-time speed, RPM, coolant temperature, fuel level, battery voltage, and more. Read and clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes directly from your phone. Decode SAE J1979 emission readiness monitors so you know if your vehicle will pass inspection before you go. GO DEEPER, WHERE YOUR VEHICLE ALLOWS IT Full Vehicle Health Scan, Module Discovery, and On-Board Monitor tests reach beyond the basics into your vehicle's individual control modules. How much they find depends on your manufacturer - some share a lot with a generic tool, some restrict it to their own dealer software. DriveHub always tells you plainly which one your vehicle is, instead of guessing. STAY AHEAD OF PROBLEMS Safety recall notices for your vehicle (US-market vehicles), service reminders based on how far you actually drive, and a Car Health widget with your score, next service and recalls on your Home Screen. CARPLAY A live vehicle status screen on your car's display - speed, RPM, coolant, fuel, and battery, refreshed twice a second - with one-tap access to trip history and SOS. WORKS WITH ANY VEHICLE Any ELM327-compatible Bluetooth or Wi-Fi adapter. No brand lock-in, no proprietary hardware. Cars, trucks, and motorcycles of any make and year with OBD-II. No adapter yet? Open a sample report and the adapter guide inside the app first. ALSO INCLUDED Driving Score & Trip History - every trip scored 0–100 on Safety, Efficiency, and Smoothness, with route playback and personal records. Fuel Tracking - log fill-ups in seconds; cost-per-litre and efficiency trends tracked automatically. Navigation - turn-by-turn with live traffic, toll estimates, and along-route points of interest. Dashcam - continuous loop recording; a crash automatically locks the last 30 seconds. Crash Detection & SOS - automatic text alerts with your location to emergency contacts who accepted (not yet available for US numbers); one-tap manual SOS with confirmation. Drive Mode & Apple Watch - auto-silence notifications while driving with a customizable auto-reply; live speed and ETA on your wrist; active navigation on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. PLANS Free: your first Car Health check, navigation, manual dashcam, limited AI assistant, one vehicle profile. DriveHub Pro (monthly or yearly): unlimited Car Health checks with history and trends, unlimited vehicles, full diagnostics, CarPlay, unlimited AI. DriveHub Pro Lifetime (one-time purchase): everything in Pro, forever, with your first year of unlimited AI Copilot included. Prices for your country are shown in the in-app purchase list on this page. Note: DriveHub requires a separate Bluetooth or Wi-Fi OBD-II adapter (sold separately) to access live vehicle diagnostics. Recall data covers vehicles sold in the US market and is advisory - confirm with your dealer using your VIN. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
What’s new
Version 1.4.2 · Updated October 21, 2026
Automatic emergency alerts. When you press SOS, or a crash alert is not cancelled, contacts who accepted your invitation now get a text message with your location, even if you cannot tap Send. If an automatic text cannot be sent, DriveHub opens the usual message screen, and you can always send a message yourself as well. Availability varies by country and is not yet available for US numbers. Also new: delete a contact with a swipe, clear contacts who have not accepted in one tap, your location in every SOS message, and full Spanish and Portuguese support.
