Download the driver card over Bluetooth
No card reader and no card that has to come out of the tachograph. The app reads the card in the cab, by itself or at the press of a button.
Patent pending Patent protection has been applied for on technology in the VYS Tacho apps.
Read the driver card without a card reader
The card simply stays in the tachograph. The app fetches the full content of the card over Bluetooth and sends the file to the portal. That keeps you well within the 28 days that apply to the driver card.
- Automatically in the background: every 4, 8, 12, 24 or 48 hours
- If an attempt fails, the app tries again by itself
- You can always start one with the Start DDD download button
- A fixed phone per vehicle works too: it downloads the card of every driver who gets in
- Works with the VDO DTCO 4.1 and the Stoneridge SE5000 Smart 2
The card must be in the tachograph and the ignition must be on: with the ignition off the tachograph normally switches its Bluetooth off. If the driver swipes the app away on an iPhone, automatic download only continues once the app is opened the app again.
Pair once
On a VDO you start pairing in the tachograph menu, with the driver card inserted, and confirm a six-digit code on the phone and the display. On a Stoneridge you confirm the code the phone asks for.

- Other brands, such as the Intellic EFAS, and tachographs without their own Bluetooth are not supported.

Frequently asked questions
Does anything have to be installed in the truck?
No. The app uses the Bluetooth that is already in the smart tachograph. No box, no cable and no download key goes into the vehicle.
Do I need a company card?
Not for the driver card. For the vehicle unit you do: with a VDO in a card reader at the office or in the tachograph, with a Stoneridge in the tachograph.
Does the driver have to do anything?
Pair once and switch on automatic download. After that the app downloads by itself, as long as the card is in the tachograph, the ignition is on and the app has not been swiped away.
Do I get a real DDD file?
Yes. A card file comes through unchanged, a vehicle unit file is downloaded as an official M file. The digital signature is checked.
How often do I have to download?
The driver card at least every 28 days and the vehicle unit at least every 90 days. The app does it more often, so you are never short.
What if there is no internet?
Then sending fails. The app does not keep the download to send later, but downloads again as soon as it can.
No extra hardware
No download key, cable or box: the app and the tachograph's Bluetooth are enough.
