Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for Gikmobil to learn my car?
Gikmobil learns your car continuously, but begins predicting accurately after 24-48 hours of driving data. The more you drive, the more personalized and accurate the predictions become.
Is my vehicle data secure?
Yes. We use military-grade AES-256 encryption for all data transmission. Your vehicle data is never sold to third parties and is always yours to control. You can delete all data anytime.
Will Gikmobil void my warranty?
No. The OBD-II device only reads data; it does not modify any vehicle systems. It will not affect your warranty.
What vehicles are compatible?
Gikmobil works with any vehicle manufactured after 1996 that has an OBD-II port. This includes cars, SUVs, trucks, and hybrids from all major brands.
Can I use Gikmobil with multiple vehicles?
Yes! You can purchase additional devices and manage multiple vehicles from a single app account. Each vehicle gets its own health profile.
What if I have an older vehicle?
If your vehicle was manufactured after 1996, it should have an OBD-II port. Check under the steering wheel or contact your mechanic. We support vehicles from 1996-2024.
