# How to Create a New Vehicle Profile
26

37
A vehicle profile is a JSON file that tells WiCAN how to communicate with the vehicle. It uses the ELM327 protocol instead of sending raw CAN frames, making it as user-friendly as possible. ELM327 is an AT command-based protocol used by all OBD apps and software. This is also important for creating a profile since most EVs have non-standard PIDs to request data, such as EV battery state of health and other vehicle-specific parameters. These PIDs are not publicly available; however, apps like Car Scanner and Torque have a huge database of these PIDs.
