How Does GOFAR Work?

Using the same OBD2 scanner technology used by professionals, GOFAR gives you control over your car – on the road and at the mechanics. GOFAR consists of three parts:

GOFAR Adapter

The Adapter plugs into your vehicle’s diagnostic port. Your car’s data is then sent from the Adapter to the GOFAR app on your phone.

GOFAR App

The GOFAR app is your window into your car’s efficiency, performance and health. Track trip distances and duration, expenses and more.

GOFAR Ray – Optional

The GOFAR Ray is a simple but effective, helping you avoid speeding fines, save fuel and get home safely.

Quick and easy setup!

Install GOFAR by yourself in just minutes. No tools or technicians required.

STEP 1

Download the App

The GOFAR app steps you through the set up process in minutes with nice, clear instructions and pictures.

STEP 2

Plug in the Adapter

Plug the Adapter into your car’s diagnostic port which is usually just under your the dashboard and above the pedals. It’s what mechanics plug their OBDII scanner into to service your car.

STEP 3

Attach the Ray to dashboard

Place the Ray on your dash with the movable adhesive patch. Next, connect the Ray and Adapter using the thin custom cable. It’s as easy as plugging in headphones.

You’re all installed!

Now you can start driving. Your car is being monitored for faults every 2 seconds and you can start saving on fuel, tax and servicing!

“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”
― David Eccleston, 7 News

“When it comes to monitoring your car’s health and performance, there’s nothing better than GOFAR. The clever device that connects your car to your smartphone.”
― Ben Fordham, 2GB

"I’ve been using GOFAR for 4 months now and it’s been great. I especially like the log book feature as I can export it straight to my accountant for tax purposes." ― 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
