How do I install the Web app as PWA?

For best performance it is recommended to install the Web app as PWA.

Here is how to install the PWA using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge:

1. Mac users: install either Chrome for Mac or Edge for Mac.

2. Open https://mycarpremium.com in your browser.
3. Install the app as follows:

Google Chrome: open Google Chrome menu "..." and select Install My Car.
Microsoft Edge: click the Install My Car -button in the right edge of the address bar (a button with a + symbol).

NOTE: In mobile devices it is recommended to use the mobile apps downloaded from app stores. Although Web app is very close to the native app, the native app performs always better. There are also some features missing from the Web app.

NOTE: To enable all features in My Car for Windows 10/11, install the app from Microsoft Store.

How do I import data manually from the deprecated My Car 4 for Windows 10?

If you still have the My Car 4 for Windows 10 installed, select from menu settings / Tools / Export data, export the .DAT file and import it to My Car for Android / iOS. Otherwise you need to export your data manually.

To export your data from the old My Car 4 for Windows 10 manually, follow these steps:

1. Open this folder in Explorer:

C:\Users\<yourUserName>\AppData\Local\Packages\25529kineapps.16268D3B4AE64_4a6d1yza056d2\LocalState

NOTE: AppData folder is a hidden folder, see instructions e.g. from here how to make it visible.

2. You should now see files like MyCar.db and Settings.dat.

3. In the same folder where MyCar.db is located, create a new file named "version" (without any file name extension) and write to the file only text "40" (without apostrophes).

4. Select all files and subfolders in this folder and add them to a zip file. Make sure the files MyCar.db and version are at the root folder of the created zip.

5. Rename the .ZIP file name extension as .DAT
6. Install My Car for Android or My Car for iOS and import the previously created .DAT file (select from menu settings / Tools / Import data).

NOTE: due to technical restrictions this .DAT file cannot be imported to My Car for Windows 10 directly. As a workaround you must first import it to Android/iOS and then export it again (settings / Tools / Export data). The .DAT file exported from Android/iOS can be imported also to the new My Car for Windows 10.

Why my subscription is not recognized when I sign in?

Please check if you have any of these common issues:

1. Make sure you sign in using the correct email address. Your subscription is associated with the email address used during the purchase.

2. Did you use "Hide my Email" (Apple's private email relay service) when creating your My Car account? In this case you can use Sign in with Apple only (Sign in with Google does not work).
