      • i inquiired the same with your local workshop, as per them there were some issue with the product as of now it’s sales is on hold.

        • i take the risk of ordering it and have installed on my car.. it worked for 1 day, now not able to trace the vehicle and even data is not showing in my app… trying to sort it with their technical team…

          as its a new product there will be some issue with the software, hope the same will be rectified shortly…

          Will post the updates as when occur. so that corrective measure can be taken…

        • I have taken the risk and had fitted the obd2 GPS, there wasn’t any issue on the first day, but being a new product on market there were some issue on the second day as the product wasn’t responding but by the next day evening they rectified it..

          it is a good product for getting your driving normalised, i was facing the problem of low mileage on my car. it helped me to find out the fault in my driving.. it shows most of your car’s data like coolent temperature, engine condition etc.

          but till this time i was not able to figure out where anti theft alarm is and where i could enable emergency calling feature..

  1. When will it launch? does it have a sim card slot or embedded sim card to send data? Does it work on battery power? Do we need to recharge it periodically?

    • Hi,
      This OBD device uses the power from the OBD port itself. Meaning, it draws the battery power. But let me tell you, the power drawn from the battery doesn’t affect the life of the battery in any way. Also, as of now, this OBD device is only available for cars running in and around Delhi NCR. We will inform you as we go national. Stay Pinned! 🙂

      • hi, can you guide me to set theft alarm, emergency calling, smart car alerts etc. i think its not sending any.. i rode my car way out of geo fenced area, still it dosent give any alerts.

        do reply, as all the above is mentioned as the features of your OBD device.

        Regards
        Rijesh

  2. Just what the doctor ordered…
    To diagnose my car’s health.
    And the prescription is
    Rx:
    GoConnect OBD

    • Hey Harshad,

      Due to overwhelming response, we have sold out all GoConnect devices. Kindly wait 10-15 days until restocking.

    • Hey Mahnedra, Due to high demand, we are out of GoConnect devices as of now. We request you to wait till August for restocking.
      Moreover, the GoConnect device requires no external SIM card or subscription apart from the upfront cost of Rs. 1,499

  3. I have ordered OBD device on 2 July 2021, ORDER # 20210702942084269. Order was cancelled by the company due to “not in stock”. Please let me know when this item will come in stock.

    • Hey Shivaji,

      The GoConnect OBD comes with an included SIM Card with a pre-activated subscription that is valid for a lifetime.

  4. Iam using goconnect obd but Why don’t we get message alerts or app notification alerts for ignition on/off , live speeding, lock unlock e.t.c

    Also for geofence and anti thieft we don’t get any alerts or messages or app notification we only get call after 10-15 min which is very long time for this kind of cases

  5. Planning to take this for Bangalore – Tata Nexon XMA(S). Doubt is that will it drain the battery when idle ? And what’s the idle power intake (2mA?) when the OBD sleeps. It should not drain or keep the ECU on .

  6. I have downloaded the gomechanic app on IOS device and entered details of mobile number to register. It asked me the model number and fuel variant of the car. I am not able to see know more services in the My cars section to purchase goconnect OBD device and as well the app throws me an error while registering my registration number.. It throws me an error as “invalid registration number”.

    It is mandate to register the registration number to enable know more services option to purchase the goconnect OBD device ?

    • Hey Surendra, the GoConnect is not available as of now for iOS. Our devs are currently working on rolling out a stable version of the GoConnect for iOS. Stay pinned, till then!

  7. Would this device show fault codes also such as other ELM327 OBD2 devices (such as steering sensor fault, Powertrain sensor fault, clutch sensor fault, Cam shaft sensor fault, etc.,)?
    My vehicle is 2012 XUV500 W8. Is that compatible?
    My Location is Andhra Pradesh. Is that deliverable?

  8. Apple devices not supported so it’s useless for people with just iOS fone. You guys should pay heed to developing an iOS app

    • Hey Arham, we take your feedback very seriously. Our devs are working clockwork for launching the GoConnect for Apple devices. Stay pinned!

  9. where can i buy , i am from Chennai , i can’t find a buy link , can you share it here and will the OBD 2.0 work in Chennai because few people stating that it will work ONLY in Delhi NCR.

    • Hey Kiran, the GoConnect does show live speed on the app. Moreover, you can set a “High-Speed Alert” under “General Alerts”, which will send out a notification when your car crossed the specified speed limit.

  10. Hi
    Seriously contemplating buying one but bit confused.
    1) The price you have mentioned appears to be one time including life time subscription fees. Does it include SIM connectivity for life time??? or I need to pay it / renew it myself or on additional charge?
    2) Does the device captures fuel level of the car?

    • Hey Anshuman, answering your queries one by one;

      1. The price of the GoConnect Rs. 1,699 (as of June 20220) is, inclusive of all charges. You don’t need to purchase a separate SIM card or pay any fees for the pre-installed SIM card. Additionally, GoConnect comes with a lifetime subscription.
      2. No, as of now, the GoConnect does not reflect the real-time fuel level of your car. There may be a similar feature introduced shortly. Stay pinned!

  11. The notification are delayed. It gives improper notification. Even when the car is off it gives a notification of car idling. Can’t find steps to reset the device.

      • Same thing is happening with me as well. It is draining battery when status is not changed from Running to Parked or Stopped after the engine is turned off.

          • Hi Akshat,

            Gomechanic + OBD OEM team is working on my case from past couple of months, But the issue is still not solved.
            OEM claims that Car ECU is sending constant RPM which i dont agree and evidences doesn’t prove that.
            If Car ECU is sending constant RPM, then after the OBD device restart also it should get same old RPM. but when i restart device by pressing the button on it, it reads correct RPM for around 10 minutes and the same thing continues.

            I dont think your device is well tested. Atlease never tested on Elite i20 Asta (O) Diesel i can say.

            Kindly get this to closure ASAP.

            Avinash

    • When you buy the GoConnect OBD 2.0, you only pay Rs 1,699 once. The GoConnect comes with an in-built SIM Card module with a pre-installed SIM Card with a lifetime subscription. No additional charges!

  12. Does Go Mechanic stores and uses the data collected by OBD2 device ? Is there any data privacy policy for using GoConnect OBD 2 connecto

      • It doesnot answer my question…..does gomechanic uses data collected by obd2 adapter l. Is there any privacy policy around data collected by obd2 adapter

        • Hey Priyesh. GoMechanic does collect vehicle data for the sake of the basic functionality of the GoConnect OBD. Moreover, please be assured that your Data is end-to-end encrypted.

    • Absolutely not! The GoConnect 2.0 comes with an in-built GPS module and a SIM card with FREE lifetime subscription. No separate SIM card needed.
