Description
Connect for Mobilox syncs your vehicle inventory from the Mobilox/Hexon dealer management system to your WordPress site. Vehicles are stored as a configurable post type with full data available to your theme.
Features:
- Real-time sync — vehicles are added, updated, and removed automatically via the DV incremental XML feed.
- Configurable post type — sync to the built-in “Vehicle” post type or any existing custom post type in your theme.
- Full data storage — every field Mobilox sends is stored in a custom table as JSON, accessible via template helpers.
- Image management — diff-based: only new images are downloaded, unchanged images keep their attachment IDs, removed images are cleaned up.
- Endpoint security — protect your sync endpoint with a secret token or HTTP Basic Auth.
- Status dashboard — see synced vehicle count, errors, last sync time, and a full activity log.
- Read-only meta box — view all vehicle data grouped by category on the post editor.
For theme developers:
Access vehicle data in your templates:
$vehicle = mobilox_get_vehicle();
echo $vehicle->{'general.make.name'};
echo $vehicle->{'powertrain.engine.power.pk'} . ' pk';
Or field by field:
echo mobilox_get_field( 'body.colour.name_nl' );

FAQ
-
Which post type should I choose?
-
If your theme already has a vehicle/occasion post type, select that. Otherwise, use the built-in “Mobilox Vehicle” type. You can change this at any time — existing vehicles will continue to work.
-
How do I access vehicle data in my theme?
-
Use
mobilox_get_vehicle( $post_id )to get the full data object, ormobilox_get_field( 'field.name' )for a single field. Field names match the Mobilox XML element names (e.g.general.make.name,powertrain.engine.power.pk). -
Is the sync endpoint secure?
-
By default, the endpoint is open (for easy setup). Go to Settings to add a secret token or HTTP Basic Auth credentials.
