Your car — in your Telegram
A personal bot that watches your car 24/7 and messages you first when something matters. It explains fault codes in plain language, forecasts fuel, catches fuel theft and towing, and warns about hail and black ice.
The bot warns you on its own — no commands
The point: you don't check the car — the car reports on itself.
- Black ice in the morning
- Frost · hail · wind by location
- Service due — in advance
- Fuel + “running low soon” forecast
- Tire pressure drop
- Fuel theft or towing
- Sunroof, window, door left open
- Low battery voltage
- Entering and leaving geofences
- Car woke up / went idle
Three steps, two minutes

⚠️ Important: turn the two switches on ONE AT A TIME. Enable CarData API first, wait ~1 minute, then enable CarData Streaming. Turning both on at once can make BMW apply them incorrectly on their side — a common reason for “connected, but no data”.
The manufacturer's app vs the bot
| Feature | Manufacturer's app | This bot |
|---|---|---|
| Car status | when you open the app and log in | writes 24/7 on its own |
| Fault codes | none / not shown there | in plain text |
| Fuel forecast | — | at your own pace |
| Theft / towing | — | yes |
| Hail by geofence | — | yes |
| Your own AI agent | — | yes |
| History export | — | yes |
| Analytics | — | yes |
| Proactive notifications | — | yes |
What the manufacturer's phone app doesn't have
Fault codes in plain language
The fault memory is shown not as a code but as clear text: which unit, what happened, how serious — in your language.
Smart fuel forecast
Not just “low tank”, but “at your pace it lasts until about Thursday” — based on the real consumption of your trips.
Anomaly detector
Fuel siphoned while parked, or movement without a trip (towing or theft) — the bot notices what a person spots too late.
Weather alerts
Frost, hail and dangerous wind for the car's location — sent in advance and again about 2 h before the event. A repair costs more than one message.
Connect your own AI agent
Optional, if you already have your own AI assistant: a personal read-only token and a ready-made skill file let you connect it to the car data.
Honest data freshness
Some values the manufacturer updates rarely — the bot shows the age of each one instead of passing old data off as current.
Watch over it at the shop
Left the car at a service centre, detailer, car wash, tyre shop or dealer — the bot notices if someone drained the battery while you were away (risky for it), drove the car, or opened it.
What it shows about the car
Status
Fuel, range, mileage, battery, coolant, time to service, faults, lock, coordinates.
Where it is
Coordinates and a pin on the map — where it stands right now.
Security
Lock, alarm, ignition, motion, lights, sleep mode.
Doors & climate
Doors, windows, sunroof, trunk; climate, heating, pre-conditioning and timers. We’ll warn you if a window, sunroof or door is left open.
Tires
Pressure and temperature for each wheel.
Service
Service intervals with dates and onboard warnings.
Analytics & history
Trip stats
Mileage, weekly average, consumption, period comparison.
Charts
Fuel, mileage, range and battery voltage over time.
Auto-reports
Weekly or monthly summaries, automatically.
Export
The whole history to CSV.
Access for family
Optional, if you need it: connect your spouse or family to the same bot — each with their own Telegram, sharing access to one car. A one-time invite code valid for 24 hours; remove anyone with a single button. Only the owner can invite.
And the nice touches
40 languages
Interface and fault-code explanations in 40 languages.
Several cars
One account — several cars.
Real time
Polling plus streaming: arrival and an open window come instantly.
Read-only
The bot doesn't control the car — and can't: BMW CarData has no control commands, impossible for any software.
A warning light, turned into a sentence
When a fault code appears, the bot doesn't show a cryptic code — it tells you what it is, how urgent, and what to do, in your language.
Your language, not just English
Bot and site speak 40 languages — every fault code, every alert, every page. English by default, your own language when we detect it.
Private by design
Read-only access, encrypted storage, and a hard line: we never sell or share your driving data.
Encrypted
Tokens and telemetry encrypted at rest and in transit.
Delete anytime
One command wipes your data and revokes access. No questions.
Never resold
We don't sell, share or monetise your driving data. Ever.
