01 — DIAGNOSTICS

Live OBD-II, decoded properly.

DriveHub pairs with any ELM327-compatible Bluetooth (or Wi-Fi) OBD-II adapter — the same $15–30 dongles sold for any car, truck, or motorcycle — and turns the raw CAN bus data into something you can actually read.

12 live PIDs monitoredSpeed, RPM, coolant temperature, fuel tank level, control module (battery) voltage, engine load, intake air temp, throttle position, and more — refreshed continuously while connected.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)Read and clear Active, Pending (Mode 07), and Permanent (Mode 0A) fault codes directly from your phone — no separate scan tool needed.
Emission readiness monitorsSAE J1979-compliant decoding of Catalyst, Heated Catalyst, EVAP, O2 Sensor & Heater, EGR and more, so you know if your vehicle will pass an emissions inspection before you go.
Historical trend chartsEvery reading is quietly persisted to SwiftData and synced via CloudKit. Browse interactive Swift Charts for any PID over days, weeks, or months.
Bluetooth & Wi-Fi adapter supportWorks with OBDLink, Veepeak, BlueDriver, FIXD, Carista, Autel, Foxwell, XTOOL and most generic ELM327 clones.

02 — AI COPILOT

An assistant that knows your car, not just chat.

DriveHub's AI Copilot is fused with your live OBD data, trip history and location — so it answers with your vehicle's actual state, not a generic guess.

Context-aware quick promptsSuggested questions change based on what's actually happening — low fuel, a new fault code, an unusually high coolant temp.
Hands-free voice inputSpeak your question instead of typing, so your eyes stay on the road.
Persistent memoryConversations are saved and synced via CloudKit — pick up exactly where you left off, on any of your devices.
Plain-language diagnosticsAsk "why is my check engine light on?" and get an explanation in plain English, not a four-digit code.

03 — NAVIGATION

Mapbox-powered, built for the dashboard.

Turn-by-turn navigation designed to feel native on both your phone and CarPlay — not a web map squeezed into a mobile screen.

Live route trackingCompleted segments gray out in real time, so you always know exactly where you are on the journey.
One-tap re-centrePan freely to explore, then snap back to following your live position and heading instantly.
Home & Work shortcutsSave your favourite destinations once and route there in a single tap, from the map or CarPlay.
Multiple route options with toll pricingCompare alternatives side-by-side with estimated toll cost and time savings, plus automatically flagged toll-free routes.
Along-route points of interestGas stations, restaurants and rest stops surfaced directly in the nav bar — no detour or separate search required.
Speed camera awarenessProactive alerts for known speed camera locations sourced from open map data.

04 — CARPLAY

Native on the big screen, not a port.

DriveHub's CarPlay experience runs under Apple's Driving Task category — a live vehicle status screen built specifically for diagnostics and safety apps, refreshed twice a second, with one-tap access to trip history and SOS.

Live Dashboard

Speed, RPM, coolant, fuel and battery, refreshed every 0.5 seconds, right on the wheel's screen.

Recent Trips List

Glance at your last five trips' distance and driving score without touching your phone.

One-Tap SOS

A confirmation-gated SOS button built into the dashboard — no digging through menus in an emergency.

05 — TRIP SCORING

Every drive, graded like a report card.

DriveHub scores each trip from 0–100 across three dimensions, with a letter grade, personal-record tracking, and a full animated playback of the route you just drove.

DriveHub trip detail screen with driving score 92, grade A, and safety, efficiency, smoothness bars

Safety scoreTracks hard braking, sharp cornering and speeding events relative to posted limits.
Efficiency scoreMeasures throttle smoothness, idle time and acceleration patterns that affect fuel economy.
Smoothness scoreRates how gently the vehicle was driven overall — fewer abrupt inputs, a higher score.
Personal recordsDriveHub flags new bests automatically — "New personal record for smoothness" — to keep good habits reinforced.
Animated route playbackWatch your exact route replay on the map after the fact, synced to the trip's speed and timing.

06 — VEHICLE & FUEL TRACKING

Multiple vehicle profilesEach with its own make, model, year, fuel tank capacity, and odometer history.
Fuel fill-up loggingLog litres and cost in a few taps — DriveHub calculates km/L (or mpg) automatically from your last fill-up.
Fuel history & cost trendsSee monthly spend and average efficiency at a glance, with each fill-up timestamped and itemized.

Live ActivitiesActive navigation appears on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so the next turn is visible without unlocking your phone.

08 — DASHCAM

Always recording, never cluttered.

A loop-recording dashcam that overwrites old footage automatically, and instantly protects the last 30 seconds the moment a crash is detected.

Continuous loop recordingOld footage is automatically overwritten so storage never fills up — no manual cleanup required.
Crash-triggered auto-saveThe last 30 seconds before a detected crash are instantly locked and protected from being overwritten.
Speed & GPS overlaysEvery clip is timestamped with speed and location, useful for insurance claims or incident review.
