Car problems. Check engine lights, fault codes. Everyone gets them at some point.

With 300+ common OBDII scanner fault codes explained in plain English, you’re always one step ahead of the mechanic.

“Being able to drive further on a litre of petrol is smart business for Uber driver, Matt. His driving behaviour is being re-wired by this device; like a black box for your car”

"I have a Mitsubishi ASX and a Pixel 2 and it's working perfectly, so much easier than a log book and that sort of stuff. The first one I got would connect and disconnect from Bluetooth at random and after following the troubleshooting tips I didn't have any luck so I emailed the company. When I had tried everything they suggested without any luck, they sent out a replacement and it's great, works perfectly! Great customer service, would not hesitate to recommend!" ― Pia Poynton
"Been using GoFar since they initially launched on Kickstarter! Love that they keep adding new features to the APP! Hoping to see app supporting carplay as well ! Keep up the good work!" ― Yukari Nakahara
"I am an uber driver and drive approximately 250-300 imsa day. my gofar is on every day and records every trip i make,and that can be up to 25 trips each day. i have done over 3800 trips since i purchased my gofer and it has recorded every one. I often get people ask what it is and I tell them to go buy one. Great device." ― Les Hall
"I have been using my Gofar for about four months now and its been great. I especially like the log book feature as i can export it straight to my accountant for tax purposes. I did have a small issue with the unit not logging trips recently but i emailed support and they got me going again straight away, it was a phone issue not the Gofar unit. Great customer service, thanks Al" ― Brett Fiedler
"I’ve been using this for the past month. It has worked flawlessly with my ‘11 Mini Cooper S and Apple iPhone. It automatically establishes a connection and starts recording trip information without any intervention from me. The little Velcro dot to secure the Ray on top of the dash was a bit rubbish, and I ended up wedging the unit into the bottom corner where the dash meets the windscreen. Actually, I prefer this - still in my line of sight but tucked out of the way. My driving behaviour has changed, I’m more relaxed on the road even in heavy Sydney traffic. It’s all about smooth acceleration and braking now, rather than racing to stay in front all the time. Fuel economy has definitely improved and i love having the reminders for checking tire pressure, tire rotation, tire tread, rego and insurance etc. Looking forward to seeing how future car service and maintenance quotes will compare to my usual garage. Thank you GoFar, one of the better investments I’ve made for a very long time. You are champions." ― Franco Paul
"I ordered my gofar on Tuesday night and it arrived on Thursday morning, it tool me about 10 minutes to install in my VE commodore SV6 and about 15 minutes to calibrate because I kept getting green lights so it took a bit longer to get the 10 full 10 second stops in. I am making a point of using it whenever I drive any where and I haven't had any problems at all, the Bluetooth connects as soon as I turn the ignition on which is great and it's giving me the information I want. Absolutely brilliant product that works extremely well. Well done!!" ― David Bolton
"Love this little Ray and mileage tracker. Just wish I could get it all to work properly. Hopefully 5 ***** soon" ― Neil Islwyn Curtis
"As a fellow Australian, I am proud to be supporting the locally developed GoFar. I just received mine, and I had no issues connecting it to my car, a 2009 J32 Nissan Maxima. I used ODB2 dongles in the past, and found they weren't 100% reliable for tracking efficiency as they need a constant connection to my phone. I bought this, as my brother pointed out I'm a bit heavy on the accelerator and brake, and I need to improve my fuel usage. I saw an ad for Gofar, so I decided to buy one during last month's special. So far, so good. I like how it logs fuel consumption and the amount of kilometres. I just now have to wait until it finishes calibration." ― Thomas Watkins
"Great device for keeping a log of your travels, works perfectly, and technical support is great if there are any problems. Definitely the best solution to keep track of travel and fuel spent." ― Anthony John
