Vehicle data

Toyota Tacoma vehicle data API: signals, model years and connection options

Get API keys →

DIMO gives developers API access to Toyota Tacoma vehicle data. Model years 2010 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 Tacoma, 2010 and newer model years connect through a DIMO device, and this coverage is tested rather than expected. Once a vehicle is shared with you, you can query it through the Telemetry API with a Vehicle JWT. Vehicle owners consent to and control sharing, so builders get data with clear provenance.

No factory connectivity?

Toyota Tacoma model years 2010 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 Tacoma 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 Tacoma signals
const 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));

FAQ

Can I read fuel level remotely on a Toyota Tacoma?

Yes, with a DIMO device. The DIMO LTE R1 reports a fuel level signal in liters, which you query through the Telemetry API. To detect refuels, use the segments query with the refuel detection mechanism, which flags where fuel level rises significantly.

How do I track a Toyota Tacoma with no connected services?

Use a DIMO device. After the vehicle is shared with you, exchange your Developer JWT for a Vehicle JWT through the Token Exchange API, then query the vehicle's signals through the Telemetry API.

How do I detect idling on a Toyota Tacoma?

Use the segments query in the Telemetry API with the idling detection mechanism, which requires a DIMO device. Idle segments are contiguous periods where engine RPM stays in the idle range, and you can adjust the upper bound with the maxIdleRpm setting (default 1000).

How do I verify Toyota Tacoma mileage?

A DIMO device reports the odometer signal in km. To get verifiable proof of the reading, call the Attestation API odometer-statement endpoint with a Vehicle JWT, then retrieve the resulting credential through the Telemetry API.

Which Toyota Tacoma model years work with DIMO?

DIMO devices have been seen working on Toyota Tacoma model years 2010 and newer. For older vehicles, contact DIMO for additional support.

Do I need hardware to get Toyota Tacoma data?

Yes. DIMO lists no OEM cloud connection for the Toyota Tacoma, so data comes from a DIMO device.
