OBD2 DBC File – Decode Your Car Data
The OBD2 DBC file contains conversion rules for decoding raw OBD2 data to human-readable form (km/h, %, …).
DBC is the standard CAN database format used in most CAN tools – incl. our CANedge software/APIs.
This OBD2 DBC contains ~150 of the standard Mode 01 PIDs – and you can easily extend it with e.g. proprietary PIDs.
The database is 100% free and can be used natively with the CANedge series through the asammdf GUI/API.
When is an OBD2 DBC used?
The OBD2 protocol is used across practically all passenger cars today. Because OBD2 is standardized, you can use the OBD2 DBC file to decode OBD2 PID data across different car brands/models/years OBD2 data logging and telematics.
For basics on OBD2 data logging, see our OBD2 telematics intro.
