Car Control - OBD2 keeps your whole car in one app: cheapest fuel nearby, GPS trip recording, refuel and maintenance log, deadline reminders. Plug in an ELM327 / OBDLink adapter and you also get a full live OBD-II dashboard.
Local-first by design: your car data lives on your phone and works fully offline. No ads, no third-party trackers, and we never sell your data. Cloud features are optional and stay off until you turn them on.
EVERYTHING WORKS WITHOUT AN ADAPTER
- Fuel-station price finder - Italy (MIMIT), France (Roulez-Eco), Spain (Geoportal Gasolineras), Luxembourg, United Kingdom (CMA). Daily refresh, ECB exchange rates for cross-border drivers. Fuel prices are available in these countries only - every other feature works anywhere.
- GPS trip recording with route map, average and max speed, distance, duration. Foreground service keeps the lock alive when the screen is off.
- Refuel log: full or partial fills, real consumption per vehicle (km/l, l/100 km, mpg), monthly spend chart, cost per kilometre.
- Maintenance log: oil, filters, brakes, timing belt, tyres, coolant, transmission - predefined types plus your own.
- Deadlines: road tax, insurance, MOT/inspection, periodic service. Notifications fire 30, 7 and 1 day before.
- Documents vault: photos and PDFs of registration, insurance card, last inspection - stored in app-private storage.
- Tyre sets: summer / winter tracked separately with fitting date, current km, brand, dimensions and DOT week.
- Multi-vehicle profiles: switch between cars with a tap. Each car keeps its own settings, history, refuels, deadlines and trips.
- Backup as a single ZIP, restore on any device. Auto-backup runs to the folder you choose.
WITH AN ELM327 / OBDLINK ADAPTER YOU ALSO GET
- Live cluster: three skins (Classic gauges, Sport digital, Retro LCD), fullscreen landscape mode, smoothed instant fuel consumption with quality badge.
- DTC reader: stored, pending and permanent fault codes (modes 03 / 07 / 0A) with plain-language descriptions in your language. Clear codes with an emissions-readiness warning.
- True fuel-used data on trips instead of estimates.
- VIN auto-detection - switches to the right vehicle profile when you swap the adapter between cars.
- Reading history: every connection logged with VIN, codes found, PIDs sampled.
FREE & PRO
Everything above is free. Pro is optional: it adds unlimited vehicle profiles and encrypted cloud backup that syncs across your devices, with a 7-day free trial. You can use the app forever without it.
PRIVACY
The app works without an account and collects no analytics. If you choose to sign in with Google for cloud backup or Pro, your backup is encrypted on your device before upload - we cannot read it. No ads, no trackers, and we never sell your data. Full policy: https://www.carcontrol-obd2.app/privacy
LANGUAGES
The app is available in English, Italiano, Français, Español and Deutsch.
OPEN GUARANTEE
Export your full database as a ZIP at any time and restore it on a new device. Uninstalling deletes everything on your phone; deleting your cloud account removes it from our servers too.
