# Tesla launches integration with DIMO connected car app

> Tesla has launched direct integration with the DIMO connected car app, enabling Tesla owners to connect with vehicle fleet networks and earn rewards. The integration allows for data permission management through the Tesla app and infotainment system. With 20,000 Tesla vehicles on the DIMO platform, the feature will enhance owners' control over data, offering capabilities like remote trunk unlocking and health widgets. Tesla is the first major automaker to adopt such integration, potentially paving the way for others to follow and promote data ownership among vehicle users.

Tesla has launched the capability for direct integration with DIMO, a decentralized connected car app that lets users connect to networks like vehicle fleets and earn rewards.

DIMO announced the direct integration with Tesla’s vehicles in a press release on Tuesday, set to let Tesla owners manage permissions with their data, connect to vehicle fleet networks, and earn rewards directly through the app. Tesla is the first major automaker to enable such an integration, and the company already has 20,000 Tesla vehicles and a total of 109,000 vehicles integrated with the DIMO platform.

“Where many automakers struggle with issues of security, privacy, and openness, Tesla continues to lead the way by officially supporting robust connections with open mobility platforms,” DIMO writes in the release. “Tesla drivers will now be able to seamlessly manage their connection to DIMO via their Tesla app or infotainment system and continue earning rewards for simply having their vehicle connected to the network.”

To sign up, Tesla owners simply need to download the DIMO app and connect their vehicles to the network here, where they can toggle data permissions and earn money for staying connected. You can learn more about the program on DIMO’s website here.

Tesla vehicles that are already on the DIMO platform will need to upgrade their connection by October 31. The connected car app developer notes that the deal will offer owners “fine-grained permission control,” along with access to advanced widgets for car health, and additional capabilities such as remotely unlocking the trunk, opening the doors, and more.

“The connected car experience will be as personalized as your phone,” explained DIMO Co-Founder Alex Rauwitz in a post on X. “Lot’s of companies trying to make that happen, only one project aiming to do it decentralized.”

Tesla adopting direct integration with the platform is also a huge step, as other automakers could follow in opening up their codebases for integration with third-party platforms like DIMO.

In a conversation with *Teslarati* in June, fellow DIMO Co-Founder explained how the app adds additional layers for vehicle owners in controlling their own data, even with regards to competition in the used auto market.

“You really want to be in a situation where, if you control your data, not only can you in some cases monetize that, but if you’re bringing that data to a transaction with an insurance company, or with the used car market, to these really big transactions that people make all the time, you’re gonna get a better deal most of the time,” Chatham explained. “And you can at least choose whether you’re going to include that data in the deal or not.”

> Survey shows that 96% of consumers want to own their vehicle data
