What Obede customers say
Real experiences from people who saved time and money on mechanics.
My check-engine light kept coming on and I really couldn't be bothered taking the car to a mechanic. With Obede I found out the light was coming on for nothing, and I saved money, time and everything :D
My car throws the check-engine light a lot, and I always know why, but I don't want it on because it blocks features in my car. Instead of paying $30 every single time to have it cleared, I paid once and now I clear it myself whenever I want — plus I get mechanic-level diagnostics :)
Why would I pay mechanics that kind of money? You plug in Obede and in 5 minutes you know everything about your car. It costs about the same as a single diagnostic and it's yours forever. Seriously great tool, mate — good luck with the project!

Frequently asked questions
Obede is compatible with almost every petrol and diesel car built from 2003 onwards that has an OBD2 port. That covers every popular brand on the road here (Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, Hyundai, Ford and more).
Yes — it is one of Obede's main features. The app lets you not only see the cause of a fault in plain language, but also wipe the fault codes and turn off the warning light on your dashboard with a single tap.
Not at all. Obede is built for ordinary drivers, not just mechanics. The interface is very simple, and every technical term is explained in plain, everyday language.
Yes, completely safe. The device only reads information from your car's computer and never changes its software settings. It does not damage the electrics and does not affect your warranty.
This is one of the best uses for Obede. You can see a car's real history, including previously cleared "hidden" faults that sellers often keep quiet about. It protects you from a bad investment and expensive repairs.
In 99% of cases the port sits below the steering wheel, near the driver's feet. Finding it and plugging Obede in takes about 30 seconds — no tools needed.
It costs less than a single cup of coffee. It lets us keep the fault database up to date, add new models, and give you precise AI-generated advice on looking after your car.
We are confident in the quality of our product, so we offer a 30-day guarantee. If the device does not meet your needs, we will refund you in full.
You do not need internet to scan for faults and read data, but you do need a connection (mobile data is fine) to get the written explanations and to sync with our database.
