OBx installation guide

Get your fleet connected.

Three phases take you from a new account to a fully paired fleet: create your OneRoad account, register your vehicles, then install and pair each OBx device. Allow around 15–20 minutes.

01

Create your account

Your fleet account is created in a web browser on a desktop — not the mobile app.

1

Go to app.oneroad.io & choose Fleet Owner

Open app.oneroad.io in a browser, click Sign Up, and select Fleet Owner when asked for a user type.

2

Enter your company details

Add your trading name, ABN, company email and phone number, then Continue.

3

Licence details — only if you also drive

Add your driver licence now if you will drive fleet vehicles yourself, or skip it and add it later from settings.

Choosing the right role matters. Fleet Owner unlocks fleet management, vehicle registration and OBx pairing. Do not select Driver.
02

Register your vehicles

Every vehicle must be in the portal before its OBx can be paired.

1

Log in to the dashboard

Sign in at app.oneroad.io with your mobile number and the SMS code.

2

Go to Assets → All Assets

From the left sidebar open Assets. Click “+ Add Asset” (top-right) and Get started.

3

Enter the rego & confirm

Type the Australian plate — OneRoad searches the NHVR Heavy Vehicle Register — review the details, then tap Add asset to Fleet.

Add every vehicle that will receive an OBx before you move on. Full detail is in the Add an asset guide.
All vehicles registered? You are ready to connect your OBx devices.
03

Install & pair the OBx

Physical install, then a quick pair in the app. Repeat for each vehicle.

Stop first — safety checks. Park the vehicle securely and switch off. Confirm there are no dashboard warning lights, and that the OBD-II port is undamaged (no bent or missing pins). Do not proceed if any fault is present.
Install the hardware
1

Locate the OBD-II port

Usually on the driver’s side of the dash or instrument panel; in heavy vehicles, near the centre console. Check the vehicle manual if unsure.

2

Plug in the OBx — ignition OFF

With the ignition off, firmly insert the OBx (with any required adapter). The connector is keyed and only fits one way — push until it clicks.

3

Turn the ignition ON

Ignition-on powers the device — the engine need not be running. Give it 15–30 seconds to initialise.

4

Confirm a flashing blue light

A flashing blue light means the OBx is live and ready to pair.

If a new dashboard warning light appears after plugging in, switch the ignition off, remove the OBx, and email [email protected] before trying again.
5

Secure with a cable tie

Once paired, tidy the device and cabling with a cable tie, kept well clear of pedals, the steering column and airbag panels. Inspect it periodically.

Pair in the app
1

Sign in to the OneRoad app

Open the app on your phone and sign in with your registered mobile number. Make sure Bluetooth is on.

2

Profile → Options → Devices

Tap Profile (bottom-right), open the Options menu (the four-squares icon), then tap Devices.

3

Add new device to your fleet

Tap “Add new device to your fleet” — the app searches for nearby powered OBx units.

4

Select the vehicle & pair

Choose the correct registration from the list and tap Continue. Keep the app open within 1–2 metres until it confirms success.

5

Verify in the portal

In app.oneroad.io → Assets, confirm the vehicle shows an active OBx. Then repeat for the next vehicle.

Device assignment is permanent. Once paired to a vehicle, an OBx must stay in that vehicle — moving it can cause ECU interactions and voids the pairing.

04

Which adapter cable?

Some vehicles need an adapter between the OBx and the diagnostic port. Check your make before you start.

Open the Adapter MatrixSearch your vehicle make, model or connector type to find the exact adapter you need — heavy transport, construction, material handling and agriculture.
Not sure which adapter fits your vehicle? Email [email protected] with the make and model and we will confirm.
