Fyndr App — basic car-finder companion with unreliable performance and sparse support

Pete Milner

04/30/2026

Fyndr pairs with Fyndr car chargers to save and share parked-car locations, set parking timers and provide compass guidance, but the app appears outdated (last updates in 2018), the developer website is suspended, privacy details are missing, background GPS can drain battery, and at least one user reports inaccurate location data.

Fyndr App functions as the companion application for Fyndr car chargers CHRG2, CHRG-C and CHRG-Q3. When paired with a Fyndr charger, the app provides a means to locate your parked vehicle.

In outdoor parking scenarios, the app records your car's location automatically. To recover the vehicle, open Fyndr App and follow the compass arrow on screen toward the last parked position.

The app includes a parking meter timer. Once configured, it notifies you as the parking session nears expiry, aiding in the avoidance of parking fines. Location sharing enables rapid and convenient sharing of your parked car's position with family and friends.

Fyndr App connects to Fyndr car chargers via Bluetooth LE and is compatible with devices running iOS 8.0 or later.

Notes:

Fyndr App may not detect your parked car's location if you are parked indoors or in an underground parking lot, where strong GPS signals are required to capture your location.
Fyndr App relies on GPS running in the background, which can dramatically decrease your device's battery life.

Relies on continuous/background GPS which can significantly reduce mobile device battery life

Potential compatibility or reliability issues with newer devices/OS if the app is not actively maintained

FAQ

What is the Fyndr App?

Fyndr App is a companion mobile app from Directed Electronics Australia for Fyndr car chargers (CHRG2, CHRG-C and CHRG-Q3) that helps you save and find your parked car, set parking meter timers, and share parking locations.

Which devices and OS versions are compatible with Fyndr App?

Fyndr App is designed for iPhone and requires iOS 8.0 or later. App store listing also shows languages supported (English, French, German, Simplified Chinese) and an approximate size of 18.3 MB.

How does the app find my parked car?

When paired with a compatible Fyndr car charger via Bluetooth LE, the app automatically saves your car’s GPS location when you park in an uncovered area. To find the car, open the app and follow the on-screen compass arrow toward the saved location.

Will Fyndr work in indoor or underground parking?

No — Fyndr relies on a strong GPS signal, so it may be unable to detect your parked car’s location in indoor or underground parking where GPS reception is poor.

Does Fyndr run location services in the background and how does that affect battery?

Yes — the app may use your location even when it isn’t open to track parking location, which can noticeably decrease your device’s battery life.

How do I pair my car charger with the Fyndr App?

Enable Bluetooth on your iPhone and on the Fyndr car charger, then open the Fyndr App and follow the in-app pairing prompts. The app uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for the connection.

What parking features does Fyndr provide?

Fyndr automatically saves your parking location, provides a compass arrow to walk you back to the car, includes a parking meter timer with notifications before expiry, and lets you share your parking location with friends or family.

I’m getting inaccurate or no location — what can I try?

Ensure your phone has a clear view of the sky for GPS, Bluetooth is enabled and the charger is paired, Location Services are allowed for the app (including background location if you want automatic saving), and your phone’s battery-saving modes are off. Underground or indoor parking may still prevent accurate fixes.

What privacy information does the developer provide?

As of the App Store listing details, the developer (Directed Electronics Australia) had not provided privacy practice details to Apple; those details may be required when the next app update is submitted. The app likely collects location data to provide its core features.

I see poor user ratings citing false data — is the app reliable?

User reviews in the App Store include complaints about inaccurate data. Reliability can depend on GPS quality, correct pairing with the charger, and device settings. If you experience consistent issues, check setup, ensure firmware/app are up to date (if available), and contact Directed Electronics Australia support for help.
