## What is HiAuto?

HiAuto is a smart vehicle management app that helps you take full control of your car ownership experience. Whether you drive one car or manage an entire family fleet, HiAuto keeps everything organized in one place.

GARAGE & MULTI-CAR SUPPORT
Add vehicles by VIN (automatic decoding via NHTSA) or manually. Manage multiple cars with individual profiles, nicknames, and photos. View full vehicle specs: body type, engine, fuel type, drive, and origin.

TRIP TRACKING WITH AUTO-DETECTION
Record trips with precise GPS tracking. The app detects when you start driving using motion sensors and can automatically begin recording - no need to touch your phone. Auto-stop kicks in when you park. Classify trips as business, personal, medical, or charity for tax reporting. View detailed trip history with routes on a map.

LIVE ACTIVITIES & DYNAMIC ISLAND
See real-time trip data right on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island: duration, distance, and speed update live while you drive.

EXPENSE MANAGEMENT
Log fuel fill-ups, EV charging, maintenance, insurance, parking, tolls, car wash, and more. Track spending per vehicle with monthly summaries and pie charts. Snap receipt photos and let AI extract the amount, vendor, date, and category automatically.

MAINTENANCE & RECALL ALERTS
Set smart reminders by date and mileage for oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, filters, fluids, and 20+ service types. Track full maintenance history with costs and service providers. Get notified about official manufacturer recall campaigns via the NHTSA database.

NEARBY SERVICES WITH LIVE PRICES
Find gas stations with real fuel prices, EV charging stations with connector type, power output, and real-time availability. Discover car washes, auto repair shops, and parking (free or paid) nearby. Results adapt to your car's fuel type - electric car owners see chargers first.

AI VEHICLE ASSISTANT
Chat with an AI that knows your specific car - make, model, year, VIN, mileage, maintenance history, active reminders, and recall status. Get personalized advice on maintenance schedules, troubleshooting, and ownership tips. Full conversation history is preserved per vehicle.

CARPLAY INTEGRATION
Full CarPlay dashboard: start and stop trips, switch between vehicles, see live speed, distance, and duration. Classify trips right from the car screen. Bind your CarPlay connection to a specific vehicle so the right car is selected automatically every time you plug in.

HOME SCREEN WIDGETS & CONTROLS
Quick-action widgets: start/stop trip, log fuel, add expense - all without opening the app. Car status widget shows your active vehicle, trip count, and monthly distance at a glance.

CAR SHARING VIA QR CODE
Share vehicle access with family or friends by scanning a QR code. Set granular permissions: choose exactly what they can see - trips, expenses, maintenance, mileage, or recalls. Transfer full ownership when selling a car. Shares expire after 30 days for security.

HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT
Create a household and invite family members. Assign roles (owner, admin, member) to control access levels. Everyone sees shared vehicles with their permitted data.

OBD-II DIAGNOSTICS
Pair with Bluetooth OBD-II adapters to read vehicle data directly from your car's diagnostic port. Get real-time diagnostics and detailed vehicle information.

### 5/5 — Promising

*2026-04-27*

The app is promising, has nice interface, and good functional. But I wasn’t able to connect my OBD II scanner with it. Hope it will be fixed soon

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words about the interface and functionality - and for trying out OBD-II! You're right that scanner support wasn't quite there yet when you tested it — sorry we weren't clearer about that at the time.

Good news: real OBD-II scanner support (Bluetooth, WiFi, and MFi adapters) has since been added in version 1.0.3 - live sensor data, check engine light status, and trouble code explanations. It's still a beta feature we're actively improving, so if you run into any trouble or have suggestions, please email us at hiauto@shekhovtsov.me - we'd really appreciate it.

Thanks again for taking the time to leave feedback!

Trip Reports

The Trips tab now has a Reports button with real charts: total trips, distance, and time for the period you pick — this month, 3 months, 6 months, or all time — a distance trend chart, and a breakdown by trip category (business, personal, medical, charity), so you always know where your miles went.

Smoother First Run

New users now get a proper welcome flow that explains each permission before asking for it, walks through your preferences, and gets your first car added right away.

CarPlay Reliability

Trip tracking now arms itself automatically the moment you connect to CarPlay, even if you haven't opened HiAuto on your phone first. Several fixes to automatic trip start and stop make tracking more accurate and recover cleanly from interrupted drives.
