DriveHub on the big screen.
DriveHub works with Apple CarPlay on iPhone and Android Auto on Android. Each one is built for its own platform, so the car screen shows what is useful and safe to glance at while you drive.
Apple CarPlay
Live vehicle status, fault codes, trips and SOS
On CarPlay, DriveHub is a vehicle status app, not a map. It gives you three screens built for a quick glance.
- DashboardLive speed, RPM, coolant temperature, fuel level and battery voltage, refreshed twice a second, plus your OBD connection status and how many faults are active.
- FaultsEvery active fault code in a list. Tap one to see its severity, category and a plain-language description. A new fault also appears as an alert on the car screen.
- TripsYour recent trips with distance and driving score.
- Start or stop a trip, or send SOSThe buttons are on the dashboard. SOS asks you to confirm first, so a stray tap does not send it.
Needs an iPhone, a CarPlay-compatible car (wired or wireless) and a Bluetooth LE or Wi-Fi OBD-II adapter. The CarPlay dashboard is part of DriveHub Pro.
Android Auto
A navigation map and a Vehicle data screen
On Android Auto, DriveHub is a navigation app with live vehicle data one tap away.
- MapYour position on a DriveHub map that follows the car's day and night mode.
- NavigateAsk the car to navigate to a place, pick from the results and follow turn-by-turn directions with the next turn, the time of arrival and a Stop button. The next turn also shows in the car's instrument cluster.
- Vehicle dataOne tap on the map opens speed, RPM, coolant temperature, engine load and any fault codes, live from your OBD-II adapter.
- Turn alertsNavigation also posts notifications for upcoming turns.
Needs Android 8.0 or newer and an Android Auto-compatible car, or the Android Auto app on your phone. Live vehicle data needs an OBD-II adapter. The map and navigation use your phone's GPS.
