Honda CR-V vehicle data API: signals, model years and connection options

Get API keys →

DIMO gives developers API access to Honda CR-V vehicle data. Model years 2008 and newer connect with a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1 or AutoPi). Headline signals include odometer, fuel percentage and vehicle speed.

DIMO gives developers API access to vehicle-state data: diagnostics, fault codes, battery and fuel health, odometer, and maintenance signals. For the Honda CR-V, that data comes through a DIMO device, with coverage for model years 2008 and newer. You query it through the Telemetry API, a GraphQL API, using a Vehicle JWT for each vehicle the owner has shared with you. DIMO adds vehicle-state depth on top of GPS tracking; it doesn't replace it.

No factory connectivity?

Honda CR-V model years 2008 and newer have no OEM cloud connection listed. For these years, a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1 or AutoPi) plugs into the OBD-II port and streams vehicle signals once the owner connects it and consents to sharing.

See the developer quickstart for how owners connect vehicles and grant access.

Events available

  • Idling
  • Refuel
  • Harsh braking

Build it

Query the latest Honda CR-V signals with the DIMO TypeScript SDK. The vehicle owner must first share access with your app through DIMO Connect.

import { DIMO } from '@dimo-network/data-sdk';
const dimo = new DIMO('Production');
const tokenId = Number(process.env.DIMO_TOKEN_ID); // from DIMO Connect
const developerJwt = await dimo.auth.getDeveloperJwt({
client_id: process.env.DIMO_CLIENT_ID,
domain: process.env.DIMO_REDIRECT_URI,
private_key: process.env.DIMO_API_KEY,
});
const vehicleJwt = await dimo.tokenexchange.getVehicleJwt({
...developerJwt,
tokenId,
});
// Latest Honda CR-V signals
const data = await dimo.telemetry.query({
...vehicleJwt,
query: `
query {
signalsLatest(tokenId: ${tokenId}) {
powertrainTransmissionTravelledDistance {
value
timestamp
}
powertrainFuelSystemRelativeLevel {
value
timestamp
}
speed {
value
timestamp
}
}
}`,
});
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));

FAQ

Can I read fuel level remotely on a Honda CR-V?

Yes, with a DIMO device. The DIMO LTE R1 lists fuel level and fuel percentage signals, which you read through the Telemetry API with a Vehicle JWT.

How do I track a Honda CR-V with no connected services?

Use a DIMO device, which is the connection type listed for the CR-V. Once the owner shares the vehicle, exchange your Developer JWT for a Vehicle JWT through the Token Exchange API and query the Telemetry API.

How do I detect idling on a Honda CR-V?

Idling is listed as an event for the CR-V's DIMO devices. Query the Telemetry API segments resource with the idling mechanism, which requires a DIMO device and treats engine RPM at or below an idle threshold as idle (default 1000, configurable with maxIdleRpm).

How do I detect refueling on a Honda CR-V?

Refuel is listed as an event for the DIMO LTE R1. Query segments with the refuel mechanism, which detects where fuel level rises significantly, and tune it with minIncreasePercent (default 15).

How do I verify Honda CR-V mileage?

A DIMO device provides the odometer signal for the CR-V. Use the Attestation API odometer-statement endpoint to generate a verifiable odometer attestation, then retrieve it through the Telemetry API.

Which Honda CR-V model years work with DIMO?

DIMO devices have been seen working on Honda CR-V model years 2008 and newer. For older vehicles, contact DIMO for additional support.

Do I need hardware to get Honda CR-V data?

Yes. DIMO lists no OEM cloud connection for the Honda CR-V, so data comes from a DIMO device.
