What is OBD?

On-board diagnostics (OBD) is an automotive term referring to a vehicle’s self-diagnostic and reporting capability. OBD systems give the vehicle owner or repair technician access to the status of the various vehicle subsystems. Modern OBD implementations use a standardized digital communications port to provide real-time data in addition to a standardized series of diagnostic trouble codes, or  DTC’s, which allow one to rapidly identify and remedy malfunctions within the vehicle.

Which information can you get from a vehicle´s OBD port using the GoSafe?

The OBD devices can be configured to retrieve (if supported by the vehicle) upto 16 PIDs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II_PIDs) and the values read can be inserted into any data packet sent to the server.
