Deep OBD

About this app

Realtime vehicle diagnostics and logging using various OBD adapter types.
Live data view in Android Auto is also supported.

This open source app uses ECU files for OBD communication.
Theoretically all operations that are possible with ISTA-D, INPA or Tool32, could be also executed with this application.
At the moment only vehicles from BMW and VAG are supported.
With a configuration generator simply select the diagnostics jobs to execute and create your own configuration files.
For complex tasks the configurations files could be created manually.
The app requires 2.5 GB of free external storage.
The application supports the following OBD II adapters:
- Standard FTDI based USB "INPA compatible" D-CAN/K-Line adapters (all protocols)
- ELM327 based Bluetooth and WiFi adapters. Recommended ELM327 versions are 1.4b, 1.5 and origin 2.1, which are based on PIC18F2480 processor (no MCP2515 chip) (D-CAN protocol only)
- Custom Bluetooth D-CAN/K-Line adapter (BMW-FAST protocol over D-CAN and K-Line)
- A replacement firmware for the ELM327 Bluetooth adapter is existing, that is faster, more stable and that also supports K-Line (required for VAG vehicles, supports protocols KWP2000, KWP1281, TP2.0)
- Deep OBD ENET WIFI adapter (for BMW F-models)

Ratings and reviews

If you are a data geek, this app is for you! Lots more BMW specific data available such as high voltage battery voltage and current, cell temperatures, and even motor torque on my i3. Works great with my Veepeak wifi OBD adapter. (I have found the wifi version to be more reliable than the bluetooth one on several different vehicles, plus you can still use your bluetooth connection for other things like taking or making a call while still connected to the adapter.)

Excellent tool. Hope a future version might include the ability to make a nice combined dash with features including the ability to display gauges and turn on aux heater etc. well done developer. Great work and community contribution 🙏

It's a wonderful app, but after installing it on my new phone I can't save a configuration. Doesn't matter how much or little ecu's and jobs I select, pressing the save button does nothing. This renders the app useless. I'm using the latest update of deepobd on a pixel 7a with the deepobd bt adapter. Update: just found out that I needed to use the back button to save the config instead of the save button. Edited rating. If the save button will actually work in the future this app is worth 5
