  2. Will this work for my hyundai creta diesel 2018 model?
    Will it scan and show all health parameters compared to other obd devices available on amazon/flipkart?

  3. Hi. I’ve three cars and would like to have it. Is it work with Nexon (2019 BS IV), Kwid (2020) and Hyundai Eon Magna + (2016) models ?

  4. Device is one time purchase or some payment has to be done like annually? What is the warranty and return policy if some issue?

    • Hey Sanjeev, the GoConnect comes with a lifetime subscription. No recharges or renewals required. The GoConnect comes with a standard 1-year warranty.

  5. When I try to purchase obd device through Gomechanic app- in cart it shows name as “GoConnect obd device installation”. Is this device or device installation charge?
    Why it is asking for pick up date/time in next screen?

    • Hey Sanjeev, as an extended service, we offer FREE installation for the GoConnect. You can visit your nearest workshop and get the GoConnect OBD installed by our technicians. No extra charges applicable.

  6. I have two queries
    1, is goconnect work on heavy commercial vehicles like benz or any . Does it show remaining fuel in tank?
    2, if there is sim inbuilt then how its life time free without any yearly subscription. Pls clarify

    • Hey Yusuf, the GoConnect works on any vehicle with an OBD 2 Port. Moreover, the GoConnect 2.0 comes with an inbuilt SIM card with a lifetime subscription. No additional recharges or renewals are required.

  7. I have ALTROZ XZ Diesel. Can’t use car due to DPF issue. I feel I lost 10.5 lakh due to DPF issue. Tata service is pathetic. It takes 3 days for them for regeneration.
    Can this OBD 2 help mein this?

    Does it show DPF soot level? Can we perform DPF regeneration with this?

  8. I the OBD from Go Mechanic and have made the payment too which was scheduled to be delivered on 19th August 2022 around 16:00 hrs which is today, but I got a call this morning saying that I have to Go to Guwahati to get it installed (😂😂😂) ( As to my understanding it is FREE HOME DELIVERY) I live in Siliguri !!!
    Or they have to cancel the order, which they did too immediately.

    I was also advised to buy the product from Amazon or Flipkart instead. But the BIG problem is there is no link or availability on both the sites (😡)
    I chatted with the Customer service assistance, he asked me to call ( +91 88008 52557 ) Or Email ! I called the Number “Guess What” > NO ONE ANSWERED NOR GAVE A COURTESY CALL BACK , Well I think after getting the Money, we are of no VALUE.

    Well I leave it to you all to decide !!

    Well Done Go Mechanic
    Cheers.

  9. Frequency of recharge?
    I mean I understand that it will have inbuilt sim but do we need to pay annual/ periodic charge?

    Further, how about internet charge? Do we need to do recharge? Which network does the sim card uses?

  10. I have purchased go connect recently and installed in my hyundai verna fluidic 2014 model car.I am really disappointed with the purchase.
    I have my parking in the basement of my apartment and in my office too the parking is in the basement and so my go connect most of the time it just says updating and It doesn’t give me the real time data.
    Outside also most of the time the data is wrong.Gomechanic should really improve the tracking and updates on the OBD or else it would be a just a waste of money purchasing it.

    • Hey Syed, the GoConnect OBD utilises GPS and Cellular data to show the accurate location and vehicle status. In many cases, mostly in basements, the in-built GPS module faces difficulty in triangulating the correct location and obtaining cellular coverage which might be the reason for tracking issues on the app.

      We request you to please write to us on gomechanicblog@gomechanic.in and we’ll get you connected with our Service Buddy who’ll help you our with any issue.

    • Hey Abdul,

      The GoConnect OBD 2.0 is currently out of stock on Amazon & Flipkart. However, you can get your very own GoConnect on the GoMechanic Website [https://gomechanic.in/goconnect-obd-device]

    you have mentioned that it is a one-time purchase with lifetime subscription.

    However, today I got it installed and in the app, it is saying “Buy Miles Membership and get a Free OBD Lifetime Subscription.”

    Please refer to this screenshot https://mega.nz/file/BENmgR7b#f_s-wsXIJKkLP6VBhv5qik6j73_wznfZ_WzZMBZ860Q

    Now which one is correct?

    Thanks

    • Hey Alok,

      As of now, we are offering FREE lifetime subscription with the GoConnect OBD 2.0 on Android and iOS as an introductory offer. However, when you purchase the GoMechanic Miles Membership, you are automatically entitled to a FREE subscription to the GoConnect OBD 2.0 indefinitely.

      Hope this helped. For more info, you can write to us on obd@gomechanic.in

  12. Hey, I have Ciaz diesel 2015 model, this GoConnect work with my car. Also is there any annual charges for this or just a one time purchase cost.

    • Hey Amit, the GoConnect OBD 2.0 will work on your 2015 Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, without any problem. Moreover, there are no annual charges associated with the GoConnect

  13. Live location works fine, it gets updated every 5 seconds when the vehicle is running. The problem is sometimes it misses to mark a trip. Mileage shown is very different. Has only battery voltage and coolant temperature in vehicle health report. Custome care support is ok only through call. Using it for last one month.

  14. I have purchased obd 2 on 25th August 2022. Till now it is not paired with my app. The service buddy is playing games. He didn’t give box also. How do I pair it.

  15. I am disappointed for one thing, and it is that I had booked OBD 2.0 on 16th Aug 2022 vide Order No 20220816980380656. The amount paid was Rs 1,699 and the timeslot was 4 pm to 5 pm. The other day, I had to leave out of the city for a few days. But to my surprise, there was no communication from anyone until 9 pm. I then placed the cancellation request and received a call from GoMechanic asking me why I would like to cancel the order. I briefed them, and they said that they have cancelled the order.

    Now here is the fun part. After I was told that the order has been cancelled, the order wasn’t actually cancelled. I started receiving order confirmation messages with the details of the service advisor and the next day’s timeslot.

    The other day, I received a call from the service advisor asking me to come to their garage. I told that I have already left out of city for a few days. He insisted that I get the OBD installed whenever I come back, to which I refused. I asked him to cancel the order since I am uncertain when I would be returning.

    On 31st Aug, after I returned, I again placed the order (no 20220831956082201) and this time, instead of Rs 1,699, I was charged Rs 1,999, a price hike of Rs 300 in just 15 days and that too because of GoMechanic’s mistake.

    After installing OBD 2.0, I noticed a few issues. The trip record shows incorrect details. For, e.g., if I have travelled today, the trip journey shows that I have travelled the previous day. Furthermore, I am an ethical driver with a driving experience of 35 years, but this OBD is reporting:

    — Harsh Acceleration
    — Harsh Braking

    Now take into account today’s trip. I left home at 4:35 pm and returned home at 4:53 pm. As of 10:16 pm, the status is still showing as “Running”. In short, GoMechanic is trying to tell me that after returning home, I have left the car engine running and sending me alerts that I should take a small break.

    How very funny.

    • Hey Alok,

      We’ve noted your feedback and escalated your query with our tech and escalation team. We are reaching out to you shortly. Thanks 🙂

  16. Hi. Does it work with a Chevrolet Cruze LTZ 2016? What is the return policy? Is the subscription still life time free for normal user? And what all car parameters does it show?

    • Hey Amit,

      We will be restocking the GoConnect OBD on Amazon and Flipkart very soon. Request you to please check back in 4-5 days.

  17. Worst Product.. Post the installation TATA harrier battery got drained. During the first incident I thought it could be something else and removing the OBD car was fine for a few months. In the 2nd incident I connected this device again to see how it performed and again the next day the battery got drained. This is product you buy and you will have sleep less night ( good that i was in town when this happens)

  18. I have KIA Sonet 2022 model.
    Can I fit Goconect 2.0 pro by DIY?
    You mentioned as the installation will take 2 hrs, but in your videos it seems to be a plug and play device. Will it take really 2 hrs for fitting the device and app installation?
    I am in Madurai, Tamilnadu. How long will it take to reach me?
    Please kindly reply.

  19. Some questions please clarify
    Is this device is compatible with my Hyundai venue Splus petrol?
    Is the device is under replace or refund policy?
    What about Warranty or guarantee of the said device ?
    If obd device faced any error ,in this condition is any service centre available at Lucknow city to repair?
    In condition of under warranty what is procedure of claim warranty?
    Can i track my vehicle if my vehicle is too far from my handset?
    Is device needs any charging?
    What about the rental or subscription?

    • Hey Saurabh!
      The GoConnect 2.0 OBD is compatible with your car.
      This device will e replaced free of cost if there is any manufacturing error
      This device doesn’t need any charging
      This device is free for lifetime!

      I hope this helps

      • Hi vishal..Please confirm that for life time obd subscription there is no need of miles membership subscription? Some users mentioned that before lifetime subscription its required to purchase miles membership.

        Regards

  20. Hi Team, i Have ordered OBD 2.0, after so many calls and follow-up with the CR finally after 4 days received call to come and pickup , but i got OBD which has 2 lights but as per reviews available in YouTube and in your website also OBD 2.0 its 4 light. I called and spoke to CR he said there are 2 devices scuto and loconov, i got scuto which has 2 lights .
    If OBD 2.0 has 4 lights ( loconov ) then why i have received 2lights one ( scuto ).This shows i have received old model and my CR is fooling me saying both are same and nothing to worry as both works same.
