FIXD Automotive sensors plug into the dash of your car, connecting the engine to your iOS or Android device. The app diagnoses any of the 6,800 reasons your check engine light turns on. You can get your car serviced knowing what the issue is before even stepping foot in a mechanic’s shop.

Aside from being a handy problem prognosticator, it also provides you with a health history of your car. You can even check it remotely if a friend of family member is using the vehicle.

No need for a state of the art set of wheels: FIXD works with any model made in the last 20 years.  The app is free to download and the sensors are available for $59. If you’re buying for the family, you can buy one sensor and get the second half off.
