CarSense: AI Car Diagnostics

No proprietary dongle required. Works with most $40 ELM327 BLE OBD2 adapters — not the $60+ locked-in hardware competitors sell.

Your car's Check Engine Light came on. The code is P0301. You have no idea what that means, and you're about to pay a mechanic $150 just to read it.

CarSense changes that. Pair an ELM327-compatible Bluetooth Low Energy OBD2 adapter and read the trouble codes stored in your vehicle's computer — then let AI tell you what each code means, how urgent it is, whether you can keep driving, what likely caused it, and what the repair will cost. In plain English, tailored to your specific make, model, and year.

WHAT YOU GET

AI Diagnosis for Every Code Each trouble code gets: • Plain-English explanation — no cryptic hex • Severity: Urgent / Monitor / Likely OK • Driveability: Safe to Drive / Limp Home / Stop Driving • Ranked list of likely causes • Estimated repair cost range, tuned to your vehicle

Live Dashboard Gauges Real-time vehicle data the moment you connect: • RPM, speed, coolant, fuel level • Engine load, throttle, battery, intake air temp • Technical drawer: fuel trims, O2, MAP, baro, catalyst temp, run time • Auto-discovers which gauges your vehicle supports — no manual PIDs

Pre-Purchase Inspector (Pro) Buying a used car? Connect before you commit. • Full DTC scan + readiness monitor check • AI evaluation calibrated for buyers, not just owners • Verdict: Buy with Confidence / Caution / Walk Away • Specific negotiation points + total estimated repair cost • FIXD and BlueDriver don't have this

AI Chat Assistant (Pro) • Ask follow-up questions in plain language • Knows your vehicle, mileage, and recent codes • "Is it safe to drive 200 miles with this code?" • "What should I tell the mechanic?"

Voice Explanations (Pro) • Tap the speaker icon on any code for a spoken summary • Useful when you're under the hood and can't read the screen

Multiple Vehicles • Unlimited vehicles, each with its own history • AI explanations tuned per make/model/year • Full scan history preserved automatically
