# Overview

## Integration Levels&#x20;

There are currently three connection methods. AutoPi (hardware), Tesla direct connection, and SmartCar. Over time we will add more hardware and direct OEM connectivity options. You can learn more about this in [DIMO](https://app.gitbook.com/o/IDM0isB8NflgM8HmoQc9/s/R36mSlZp0ko1mS8FaNMB/ "mention")

Some methods (SmartCar and AutoPi) may be combined for a single vehicle.

### &#x20;    AutoPi

&#x20;    The most reliable connection method, vehicle data is streamed so there are no risks of data failures or delays.

### &#x20;    SmartCar

&#x20;    DIMO makes data requests and pulls data once approximately every 4 hours

### &#x20;    Tesla

&#x20;    DIMO makes data requests and pulls data once every few minutes

## Gold / Silver / Bronze&#x20;

🥇 Gold tier vehicles can generally access all DIMO features and have the richest quality and quantity of data.

🥈 Silver tier vehicles can access most DIMO features.

🥉 Bronze tier vehicles provide us with the lowest quality and quantity of data. Most vehicles in this level have yet to be fully decoded.

### Adding Support for a Vehicle

Vehicles without a support level do not currently qualify for DIMO rewards, you can request support for vehicles older than 2012 by filling out [this form](https://gkmkni9caof.typeform.com/to/CIi4MB8C), which (if approved) will allow you to add your vehicle in the mobile app, pair it to prove compatibility, and start using more apps & services on DIMO.&#x20;
