Paradigm Shift in Car Diagnostics
Modern cars are packed with electronics, which means that both owners and mechanics increasingly often need to interfere with engine parameters. Previous solutions allowed changes to be made only when the car was stationary, usually in a workshop. Unfortunately, in order to check the effectiveness of the modifications made, it was necessary to disconnect the vehicle from the computer and perform a test drive. If necessary, it was necessary to return to the mechanic, which generated time loss and additional costs. For motoring enthusiasts, this approach was extremely ineffective.
In response to these challenges, I was involved in creating a graphic design, UX, and UI for a mobile application that would connect to the vehicle’s diagnostic system via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. My goal was to design an interface that would allow not only monitoring live parameters but also making changes during vehicle operation. This is how the JScan application was created, which quickly gained recognition among Jeep brand enthusiasts. What’s more, adaptations for other car brands are already planned.
The JScan application is available for Android and iOS platforms.
Below is a video review of the beta version of the app.
