ddpc connect
the obd2 companion for ddpc. your car's live data, recorded automatically into your file while you drive.
from the current build
live data, flowing.
overview, economy, health, performance. captured at idle on a 2016 m235i. still teasing. but the pipe's real.

this is the adapter the app has been built and field-tested on. if you want to follow along while connect matures, this is the one we know works end-to-end.

plug it in. drive normally. ddpc fills itself in.
ddpc connect is a small device that lives in your obd2 port. it reads what your car's already reporting on its own bus, pipes the relevant parts into your ddpc garage, and logs the stuff you'd normally forget to write down.
the more of your vehicle's state is captured automatically, the more time you spend driving it instead of documenting it.
the stuff your car already knows about itself.
fuel and mpg
real consumption per drive, per tank, per week. the trend line behind your seat-of-pants feel.
codes and warnings
check engine and pending codes the moment they appear, with the context of what you were doing when they did.
mileage and intervals
odometer synced without asking. service intervals that count themselves down in real time.
sensor trends
battery voltage, coolant temp, fuel trims, the slow drift of things that fail gradually before they fail loudly.
the gap between what you meant to log and what you did.
we've all been there. you meant to write down the fill-up but didn't have your phone open. the check engine flashed for a minute and you forgot to note when. the odometer at the last oil change is approximate because you wrote it on a receipt that's now somewhere.
the richer your file, the more useful ddpc becomes. connect is how the file fills itself in, honestly and continuously, without another thing on your to-do list.
and the richer every file in the network, the stronger the demand signal for the parts and shops that keep your car keepable.
in development. not ready yet.
hardware testing, firmware, the ddpc integration layer. it's coming, but we're not shipping something half-cooked.
the easiest way to be ready for it: start your ddpc file now. when connect is ready, it plugs into the garage you already have.
what we do with your data
short version: your vehicle file belongs to you. we store the log entries, service records, fuel fill-ups, and obd readings you create so you can read them back later and so ddpc can surface patterns in your own data. we do not sell individual-user data. aggregate, anonymized data may be shared with the repair and parts industry only if you opt in, and only to keep the human-driven supply chain visible.
