## What is AXLY?

AXLY turns your iPhone into a powerful vehicle diagnostic, performance, and AI assistant tool — free. Pair any Bluetooth LE OBD2 adapter and get real insight into any 1996+ vehicle.

CHECK ENGINE CODES
Scan and clear check-engine (CEL) and powertrain trouble codes in seconds, each with a plain-English explanation. Extended ABS, SRS, and transmission module scanning is in beta for VAG vehicles.

ASK AXLY — YOUR AI MECHANIC
Get a plain-English diagnosis for any trouble code, researched for your exact year, make, and model with live web search — the most likely causes, the first thing to check, and real sources to back it up. Ask follow-ups by text, photo, or voice. Your first questions are free.

LIVE DATA
Beautiful real-time gauges for RPM, speed, throttle, boost, coolant temp, and more — organized into Engine, Fuel & Speed, and Electrical tabs.
  
DRIVE MODE & DASHCAM
Turn your phone into a heads-up digital dash, or record the road with your speed and datanburned right into the video.

TRACK MODE
Drag-strip-style timing using your car's real OBD2 speed data — more accurate than GPS-only apps. Time your 0-60 and quarter mile with christmas-tree staging, reaction time, and trap speed. Save runs and chase your personal bests.

GARAGE
Store multiple vehicles with photos, identify them by VIN, track service history, log modifications, set maintenance reminders, and generate shareable spec-sheet PDFs.

ECU CODING (IN DEVELOPMENT)
A preview of what's coming: unlock hidden factory features on VAG vehicles (Audi, VW, Porsche, Škoda, SEAT) — needle sweep, digital speedometer, comfort windows, and more. Currently a demo while full coding is in development.

COMPATIBILITY
Works with Bluetooth LE OBD2 adapters (Veepeak, Vgate, OBDLink, and more) on any 1996+ vehicle.

PRICING
AXLY is free — every feature unlocked, no subscription. The only optional add-on is AI question packs for Ask AXLY: 10 questions for $4.99 or 25 for $9.99. One-time purchases that never expire. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-08-11

Drive Camera, no adapter required.

Point your phone, hit record, and your speed is burned right into the video — GPS handles it on its own now. Plug in an OBD2 adapter and RPM, throttle and coolant join the overlay.

Ask AXLY keeps the conversation going.

Reach the end of a chat and you can continue it right there instead of starting over and losing everything you'd already explained about your car.

Also fixed
• Starting a new chat after a code scan now truly starts fresh, instead of picking up the previous conversation.
• Speed reads "---" until there's a real signal, so a recording never shows a confident 0 mph.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-07-23

What's New in 1.0.7

• Share your build — spec-sheet links now unfurl with your car's photo and details when you text them, and demo mode includes a full sample spec sheet to explore
• Cleaner spec-sheet PDFs with a refreshed header
• Fixed scrolling on the Garage and Vehicle Details screens in landscape
• Fixed a location-services leak that could keep GPS running after leaving the drive screens
• Faster and more efficient — cut unnecessary background requests
• Under-the-hood groundwork for what's coming next
