How Automatic Works
Your car is smarter than you think
Did you know?
Your car is a computer
Whether your car is brand new or decades old, it has data hidden inside it about your mileage, gas usage, performance, and even its engine health.
Automatic Adapter
Plug in an adapter to get your car talking
An Automatic adapter plugs into just about any car’s standard diagnostics (OBD-II) port. It unlocks the data in your car’s on-board computer and connects to the cloud.
3rd Party Apps
Make your car even smarter
The Automatic App Gallery features many more car apps. Whether you expense your mileage for work, geek out over your car’s performance and driving stats, or want your car to connect to the rest of your digital life, there’s an app for you.
