Review by Dave Greenbaum

If you’ve wanted to know how family members are driving your car, this product is for you! It’s also great for small business owners tracking employees.

Insurance companies have been using these devices for years. It plugs into the ODB port in your car. That’s usually by the steering wheel and is part of any car made since 1996. If you have a car made before then..well kudos for keeping it around so long!nnIt uses an on-board cellular signal to report back diagnostics on the car. To receive that info, you need to be a $19.99 monthly subscription fee. The description is confusing. Without paying that fee you get absolutely no features. It doesn’t use Bluetooth or have a Bluetooth backup like Automatic or other devices. If the manufacturer raises the price on the monitoring, you’re stuck.

Once you install it, the device tracks the car’s location so long as it has mobile signal. It tracks the car and usage, not the drive. I like that because if the kids borrow the car, you’ll know if they are driving too fast. For business owners, it checks the idle time and number of stops. That lets you know if they are wasting gas or running personal errands. It even includes geofencing, so you get alerts when it goes near a particular location. You can view the data from the app or the webnnThe maintenance features are just a way of manually tracking things like oil changes. It doesn’t read information from the ODB port as far as I could tell. This device is just about tracking.

Overall I liked the product. I did not have good experiences with support. It took days to get a response and they were confusing. Fortunately, the product is easy to use, so my support issues were only related to the review.

A slick idea the fulfills a need.
