Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about FIXD GUARDIAN

FIXD GUARDIAN works with all gas-powered vehicles manufactured after 1996 and diesel vehicles manufactured after 2008 that have a standard OBD-II port. Hybrid vehicles are also supported. It is not compatible with fully electric vehicles (EVs).

The sensor is compatible with iOS and Android mobile devices and works with the FIXD app, which is available on both iOS and Android.

FIXD GUARDIAN is a major upgrade — it turns FIXD from a tool you use occasionally into a system that keeps an eye on all your cars for you 24/7 and sends you updates automatically.

The original FIXD sensor uses Bluetooth, which means you have to be near your vehicle and manually run a scan to check for issues. FIXD GUARDIAN uses built-in cellular connectivity to stay connected to your car at all times — so instead of checking in occasionally, your car is being monitored continuously.

Here's what that unlocks for you:

  • Remote vehicle diagnostics — check your car's health anytime, without needing to be in or near your vehicle
  • Automatic alerts — get notified when something may be wrong, so you're not the last to find out
  • Early problem detection — catch issues sooner and avoid small problems turning into expensive repairs
  • Real-time vehicle location — know where your car is at any time, whether it's parked, in use, or shared
  • Find your parked car — quickly locate your vehicle without guessing or searching
  • Movement awareness — get alerts if your car moves when it shouldn't, giving you added peace of mind
  • Trip tracking — automatically log trips, routes, and mileage without having to track anything manually
  • Multi-vehicle monitoring — keep tabs on all your vehicles in one place, whether it's your car, a partner's, or a family member's

In short, the original FIXD sensor helps you figure out what's wrong when you check your car, while FIXD GUARDIAN helps you stay informed, stay in control, and stay ahead of problems without having to think about it.

Yes, FIXD GUARDIAN requires a yearly subscription. If you're not satisfied, you can return the sensor within 30 calendar days of delivery for a full refund of your subscription fee. Note that subscription renewals are not eligible for refunds — be sure to cancel before your renewal date to avoid future charges.

Yes, you can track multiple vehicles under a single FIXD account.

FIXD GUARDIAN sends alerts remotely, so you don't need to be near your vehicle to stay informed. You can set up and receive a variety of alerts, including:

  • Geofence alerts — get notified when your vehicle enters or exits a defined area
  • Trip start/stop alerts — know when your vehicle begins or ends a journey
  • Potential collision detection — receive an alert if a possible collision is detected
  • Excessive idling alerts — get notified if your vehicle idles for too long
  • And more

Yes. With built-in GPS, FIXD GUARDIAN enables real-time vehicle location tracking at any time. The app also features a dedicated Trips section, providing a comprehensive history of all your vehicle's journeys.
