DIMO gives developers API access to Toyota Corolla vehicle data. Model years 2008 and newer connect with a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1 or AutoPi). Headline signals include odometer, vehicle speed and vehicle ignition status.
DIMO gives developers API access to vehicle-state data: diagnostics, fault codes, battery and fuel health, odometer, and maintenance signals. For the Toyota Corolla, data comes through a DIMO device, with tested coverage for 2008 and newer model years. The record lists the DIMO LTE R1 and AutoPi devices for this model. Vehicle owners consent to and control sharing, so builders get data with clear provenance.

No factory connectivity?
Toyota Corolla 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 Toyota Corolla 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 Toyota Corolla signalsconst data = await dimo.telemetry.query({ ...vehicleJwt, query: ` query { signalsLatest(tokenId: ${tokenId}) { powertrainTransmissionTravelledDistance { value timestamp } speed { value timestamp } isIgnitionOn { value timestamp } } }`,});console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));Full walkthrough: Developer quickstart.
FAQ
Can I read fuel level remotely on a Toyota Corolla?
Yes, with a DIMO device. The DIMO LTE R1 lists a fuel level signal, which you query through the GraphQL Telemetry API using a Vehicle JWT. For refuel events, the segments query supports a refuel detection mechanism that detects where fuel level rises significantly.
How do I track a Toyota Corolla with no connected services?
Use a DIMO device. Once the owner shares the vehicle with your Developer License, exchange your Developer JWT for a Vehicle JWT through the Token Exchange API. Then query the Telemetry API for that vehicle's signals.
How do I detect idling on a Toyota Corolla?
Both DIMO devices listed for this model support the idling event. Call the segments query in the Telemetry API with the idling mechanism, which returns contiguous periods where engine RPM stays in the idle range. You can tune the upper idle RPM bound with maxIdleRpm, which defaults to 1000.
How do I verify Toyota Corolla mileage?
Both DIMO devices listed for this model provide the odometer signal. Call the Attestation API odometer-statement endpoint with a Vehicle JWT to generate a verifiable credential. Then retrieve the rawVC through the Telemetry API.
How do I detect harsh braking on a Toyota Corolla?
The DIMO LTE R1 lists the harsh braking event. You can create a webhook through the Vehicle Triggers API using the events service and the behavior.harshBraking metric name. Alternatively, request HarshBraking event counts per segment with eventRequests in the segments query.
Which Toyota Corolla model years work with DIMO?
DIMO devices have been seen working on Toyota Corolla model years 2008 and newer. For older vehicles, contact DIMO for additional support.
Do I need hardware to get Toyota Corolla data?
Yes. DIMO lists no OEM cloud connection for the Toyota Corolla, so data comes from a DIMO device.
