The questions people ask before they sign up.

What does autodAIgnosis actually tell me?

Plug in a compatible OBD device and autodAIgnosis turns the warning light into a plain-language answer: what is most likely wrong, which part is involved, how urgent it is, and whether it is safe to keep driving. You get that in under two minutes, in English, Hindi or Marathi.

Do I need to buy special hardware?

You need a standard OBD-II adapter, the same inexpensive kind sold for any code-reader app. autodAIgnosis is not tied to one brand of adapter and we do not sell a locked-in device.

Which vehicles are supported?

Any vehicle with an OBD-II port, which covers effectively every petrol car sold in India since 2010 and most diesels since 2013. Coverage is tuned for Indian models first, and the platform reads the same standard fault codes used worldwide.

How is this different from a free code-reader app?

A code reader hands you a code and a dictionary definition. autodAIgnosis reads the code alongside your live sensor data and your vehicle's context, cross-checks its own conclusion before showing it to you, and names the component that is actually failing — then tells you whether the car is safe to drive today.

Is my vehicle and personal data safe?

Yes. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, we do not sell personal information, and you can request deletion of your account and diagnostic history at any time. The full detail is in our Privacy Policy and our Security & Data Protection page.

Can I trust the diagnosis enough to skip the mechanic?

No, and we will never claim otherwise. autodAIgnosis tells you what is likely wrong and how urgent it is, so you walk into the workshop informed and are not sold a repair you do not need. Physical inspection and repair remain a qualified mechanic's job.

What does it cost?

Pricing is not public yet. Join the waitlist and we will tell you before launch — no card details are needed to reserve a place.

How quickly do you answer support emails?

We answer every email to support@autodaignosis.com within 1 business day, Monday to Saturday, 10:00–19:00 IST.

What is autodAIgnosis?

autodAIgnosis is an AI-powered predictive automobile health platform that connects to a vehicle through a compatible OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) device. The platform analyzes diagnostic information, driving patterns, engine behavior, fault codes, and vehicle performance data in order to provide users with:

  • Vehicle health summaries
  • Early warning alerts
  • Fault code explanations
  • Maintenance reminders
  • Repair recommendations
  • Predicted future failures
  • Driving behavior insights
  • Cost estimates for possible repairs

autodAIgnosis is designed to help users understand the condition of their vehicle before a major issue occurs.

How does autodAIgnosis work?

Once a compatible OBD device is connected to your vehicle and linked with the autodAIgnosis platform, the system may collect and analyze data such as:

  • OBD fault codes
  • Engine temperature
  • Battery voltage
  • RPM
  • Fuel consumption
  • Sensor readings
  • Speed and acceleration
  • Mileage
  • Maintenance history
  • Vehicle usage patterns

Our AI system compares this information with historical diagnostic patterns and may generate:

  • A list of possible issues
  • Estimated severity levels
  • Recommendations for repair or maintenance
  • Predictions about future vehicle problems
  • Suggested urgency of action
Is autodAIgnosis a replacement for a mechanic or workshop?

No. autodAIgnosis is only an informational and predictive technology platform. It is not a substitute for:

  • A certified mechanic
  • A licensed automotive technician
  • A vehicle inspection center
  • An authorized service station
  • Manufacturer recommendations

The platform should only be used as a supporting tool. You must always consult a qualified automotive professional before:

  • Repairing a vehicle
  • Replacing parts
  • Driving a vehicle with a serious warning
  • Making safety-related decisions
Can autodAIgnosis guarantee that it will detect every problem?

No. autodAIgnosis may not detect every issue because some vehicle problems:

  • Do not create an OBD fault code
  • Cannot be identified through sensors
  • Require physical inspection
  • Depend on conditions that are not currently visible in the data

Examples of issues that may not always be detected include:

  • Tire punctures or wear
  • Brake pad wear
  • Suspension issues
  • Fluid leaks
  • Body damage
  • Rust or corrosion
  • Cosmetic issues
  • Hidden mechanical failures
Are the AI predictions always accurate?

No. autodAIgnosis uses artificial intelligence and statistical analysis, but predictions are not guaranteed.

The accuracy of predictions depends on many factors, including:

  • Quality of data received
  • Vehicle age
  • Service history
  • Weather and road conditions
  • Driving style
  • OBD device quality
  • Vehicle make and model

The platform may sometimes:

  • Miss a problem
  • Incorrectly identify a problem
  • Predict a failure that never occurs
  • Underestimate or overestimate severity

You should never rely only on the platform when safety is involved.

Which vehicles are supported?

autodAIgnosis generally supports vehicles equipped with OBD-II or equivalent systems. This may include:

  • Cars
  • SUVs
  • Pickup trucks
  • Vans
  • Commercial vehicles
  • Hybrid vehicles
  • Some electric vehicles

Support depends on:

  • Vehicle manufacturer
  • Vehicle year
  • Country-specific regulations
  • OBD compatibility
  • The specific diagnostic protocols used by the vehicle

Some older vehicles or uncommon models may not be supported.

Which OBD devices are compatible?

autodAIgnosis may support compatible:

  • Bluetooth OBD-II adapters
  • Wi-Fi OBD-II adapters
