About the Beta Tester Program

As a beta tester, your feedback is critical to improving the Sidecar experience. This guide explains the requirements to become a beta tester, the benefits of participating, and how to get started.

Beta Tester Requirements

To become a Sidecar beta tester, you’ll need:

  1. Access to a car: Ideally, you’ll test with your daily driver, but infrequent drivers (even garage queens) are welcome.

  2. iOS 18+ device: Testing should ideally be done on your primary iPhone. Android support isn’t available yet, but if you’re interested, email Jeff at support@clutch.engineering to express interest.

  3. OBD data sharing: If you’re testing OBD support, you will need to share scan logs and screenshots to help with data accuracy.

Note: if you do not have an OBD scanner yet but would like to purchase one, a set of tested scanners is available in the OBD-II Scanning guide.

Beta Tester Benefits

As a thank you for your participation, approved beta testers will receive a free, two-month Sidecar subscription. This gives you access to all of Sidecar’s features to aid in testing the app.

Conditions

  • A finite number of beta testers are allowed per vehicle make, model, and year, and only when a tester is needed. If your car is not listed in the supported cars list at all, it probably needs a tester :)

  • Registration operates on a first-come, first-served basis.

How to Register

Please register your interest by filling in the form below:

We’re onboarding cars in the order shown in the leaderboard.

Once we start onboarding your model, you will receive your subscription promo code after you have:

  1. installed Sidecar and connected it to your car either with a Connected Account or via OBD-II (you can connect your car without a subscription),

  2. emailed an export of your OBD logs to support@clutch.engineering.
