Very cool indeed. Make it really easy also for non mech people to diagnose and get an idea on a problem while having only an OBD2 adapter. How are the reparations prices calculated? Is there some kind of dataset you builder or is it just a guide prompt to an LLM?

Thanks, yes its been empowering my less handy friends to fix things on their own, and building their confidence. I figure, we can't have right to repair without a more informed/confident public to demand better, repairable, and surveillance free cars.

For Pricing calculations it's a mix of the fetched tool search prices data and guided prompt. There are lots of published records on what hours jobs _should_ take and average labor hours per region.

I wish Apple exposed serial on iOS so that we could just use any generic USB - OBD2 cable on iPhones

It looks really impressive. Well done. Wishing you luck with it.

Does it have any make-specific features? For instance, I've used vcds for VW/Audi since it has better reporting than generic odb2 code readers.
reply
At the wire level, no: it speaks generic OBD2 (ELM327), so it sees powertrain codes and standard PIDs. It won't talk to every module on a VAG car the way VCDS does — no ABS/airbag/body modules, no adaptations or coding. If you need that, VCDS stays on your bench.

Where it is make-specific is the interpretation layer. The code database includes manufacturer-specific DTCs for the 10 major makes, and there's per-model data down to the generation level — known failure patterns, which codes are common on which engines. So a P0171 on an E46 gets read in the context of "this generation eats intake boots and DISA valves," not a generic lean-code writeup. The AI report is conditioned on the exact year/make/model/engine, which is where most of the diagnostic depth comes from.

That being said, I'm continually expanding support, it really just depends on what sort of barriers I run into with these bluetooth scanners. For certain types of diagnostics (large truck / Buses etc) I'll likely need to make a separate desktop app that connects directly wired.

Would love to see more Subaru support

Looks great, I would like to try it out. Can you recommend any OBD2 adapter? I’m driving a Ford from 2019.
reply
the Vgate works good, there is a spec for the OBD2 Devices over bluetooth, so any of the cheap ($20-$30 range) should work fine, I haven't found one that hasn't connected to the app yet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XGB4873?th=1&tag=crewchief-20"

Nice one! Is the iPad app a full fledged iPadOS app or just a browser for now?
reply
I haven't targeted for ipad yet, I should test soon, I have an ipad mini that would be great to use, since I keep manuals on there anyways.
