Connect a suitable adapter
The workflow uses a Bluetooth LE OBD adapter. The vehicle and adapter must supply the required values. A connection alone does not mean every value can be read.

More context from the vehicle, when it provides the data.
A compatible OBD adapter can add vehicle values to lesson review. The available data depends on the vehicle, adapter and calibration.
Which vehicle values add context to a situation
Additional context can help discuss vehicle control: engine speed, speed, throttle or an estimated gear. RoadReview connects available values with recorded positions and situations.
Read values in driving context
Speed, engine speed, throttle and gear information can add context to positions or recorded mistakes. Gear is estimated and requires suitable calibration. Missing or implausible values need professional interpretation.
Core recording remains independent
You can record GPS routes and situations without OBD. Review shows available saved values for the lesson or situation. The full continuous vehicle measurements remain on the recording device.
Three steps
Connect the adapter and set up the vehicle profile
Check compatibility
Check the vehicle, adapter and supported values.
Set up a profile
Test the connection and perform required gear calibration.
Review the context
Read available values alongside recorded situations.
Vehicle, adapter and estimated gear
OBD requires a suitable vehicle and a compatible Bluetooth LE adapter. Discuss which values your setup provides with us. Estimated gear requires calibration; these data do not include the odometer reading.
Students use RoadReview through a participating driving school. New schools can register their interest; the enquiry does not automatically activate access.
Questions about optional OBD vehicle data
Does this work with every vehicle?
No. Available values depend on the vehicle, supported data fields and adapter. The specific combination must be checked.
Is gear read directly from the vehicle?
Gear information is an estimate with calibration. It should not be interpreted as a universally available direct gear reading.
Do I need OBD for the app?
No. Smartphone recording and review are the core product. OBD optionally adds available vehicle data.
