CANnect [automobile diagnostic application]

The global automotive aftermarket is a rapidly growing industry that is expected to reach about $722 billion by the year 2020. Today's consumers are taking an interest in the maintenance of vehicles to ensure they maximize their automobile's lifetime. Our team at CANtech is introducing an open source hardware and software package called CANnect that allows consumers to perform car diagnostics and read real-time telemetrics of their vehicle. CANnect is a combination of a hardware module that can be connected to the CANbus system of the vehicle, and a software application that receives this vehicle data through a Bluetooth connection. Our product is open source which would allow consumers to customize our base features to meet their needs and introduce new solutions to our platform.
