-
Device management.
- Manage the behavior of your devices from a centralized location. Allowing you to define rules for specific vehicles, such as enabling or disabling certain functionalities, setting up alarms, and how data is formatted and where it is sent. With this level of control, you can ensure that your fleet operates efficiently, safely, and securely.
-
Over the Air updates.
- Update the firmware and software on your AutoPi devices remotely, without the need for physical access. The AutoPi Cloud service provides a centralized platform for managing updates, enabling you to schedule updates, monitor progress, and roll back updates if necessary.
-
Powerful API.
- Integrate with the AutoPi device and cloud services, enabling you to access critical data from your fleet’s vehicles. The AutoPi device support various endpoints, including HTTP REST endpoints and MQTT endpoints. Access to a range of data including vehicle location, engine performance, fuel consumption, etc.
-
Fleet management.
- Monitor critical fleet metrics, including vehicle location, engine performance, and fuel consumption, from a centralized location. The Fleet Dashboard provides a holistic view of your fleet's operations, enabling you to identify potential issues and make informed decisions to optimize performance and efficiency.

Frequently asked questions
You should choose the automotive data logger that best fits your project and your requirements. If still in doubt, contact us — we will help you setup with the most suitable solution.
Our general recommendation is as follows:
-
AutoPi Mini: You are searching for a plug & play data logger, that logs OEM and standard (EV & ICE) data parameters.
-
AutoPi TMU CM4: You want more detailed CAN data from vehicles / machines and custom configurations options.
-
AutoPi CAN-FD Pro: You require a full CAN dump of dual CAN/CAN-FD buses, with the option of additional 2 external flash drives.
Overall, the Autoi CAN-FD Pro is far superior for CAN bus data logging that supports mixed 11 bit and 29 bit frame IDs, onboard CAN decoding, remote live debugging and interaction through secure VPN, hardware encryption, etc. — then we strongly recommend this, unless you specifically require something else.
The automotive data loggers are designed to be user-friendly, letting you capture CAN bus & OBD data from a vehicle or machine's Controller Area Network (CAN) and/or On-board Diagnostics II (OBD-II) system.
-
The automotive data logger connects to the vehicle / machine's OBD-II port.
-
Once powered on, the data logger listen to the data stream and start logging raw data — depending on your project, it can either:
-
Store raw CAN data on an SD card
(This allows for local data storage, useful for projects where data analysis will be performmed on-site or later on an external computer).
-
Upload raw and/or decoded CAN bus/OBD data
(Data can be uploaded to our cloud backend, your own server, or a SaaS solution, useful for remote access and real-time insights).
-
Onboard CAN decoding
(Using DBC files, Python scrips, etc., the data logger can decode CAN signals directly on the device. This feature is ideal for projects that require immediate, on-device analysis or for devices without a constant connection to an external server. Only available on the AutoPi CAN-FD Pro).
-
-
From here, you can access the log files remotely or locally and begin analyzing detailed insights about vehicle or machinery performance, diagnostics, and more.
For more details, see our getting started guides which will guide you through each step and set up your automotive data logger.
To get the most out of your AutoPi automotive data loggers, we strongly recommend using the AutoPi Cloud platform — a combination of device- and fleet management.
With our device and vehicle management platform, you will get insights to all the detail you need to manage your business.
-
Use our fleet management cloud to keep track on your vehicles and the performance of these.
-
Use our device management platform to deploy advanced software configurations to the edge devices or to record large amounts of data from the vehicle CAN bus.
