Does not work!
I bought this product a couple of days ago and it doesn't even work. I wanted to use this device because I drive a lot for my jobs and I wanted to keep track on the health of my car while I'm on the road. The app that goes along with this device is awful. It doesn't want to update or tell me about my recent trips. It haven't worked since I got it and I'm in my return policy and I'm returning this device. I would not recommend this device to any of my fellow friends or colleagues.

Easy to install and use but the user interface is a little dated...
11 years ago
I received one of these from my parents a few weeks ago, they are tech junkies, and I have been playing with it for some time now. They wanted me to use it because I am not the best driver XD (I have had a few speeding tickets/traffic violations in my day) They thought it would help out in that respect and it has. I was a notorious text-er while I drove and really had no self control to stop it myself! The product gives you access to the Zoomsafer app that blocks your phone while you are driving and I am sure it has saved me from a fender bender or two already.
Install:
It was as easy as plugging in an USB. Literally I just plunged it in and turned on the car. There are a few steps to set up the app but it is more profile setting up than installing. It was actually a pleasant...I thought it was going to be a hassle to set up.
Features and Use:
The main thing the device does is track your car and give you feed back on your driving habits. It gives you a neat little map showing your "trip" and also calculates your MPG and how much you spent on gas. It calculates a "driver score" for you that is based on how often you are accelerating to fast, breaking to hard, or taking turns to sharply. I haven;t had a chance to use it but the device also reads your engine...like if your engine light comes on IT TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG. Talk about useful! Ever since my auto mechanic class in HS I was warned about mechanics scamming people into getting more work on their car than they needed. Now I can walk in and tell them what is wrong...not the other way around. I really cannot wait to do this.
So I guess I should say some things I don't really like about it...one is the price but I don't really have to deal with this (parents can be awesome sometimes). The biggest problem I have and it is not even really a problem...is the dated UI. It just looks old but I am sure that could be changed with an update...and seeing how this just recently came out I bet there will be one soon.

Horrible changes to monitoring!
10 years ago
I have had my device for a year and monitor my teenagers driving. They "upgrade" to 2.0 a few weeks ago and it is horrible. I contacted customer service and they agreed they had a lot of complaints about the changes and were working on fixing things. The changes didn't help. It is more about "sharing your info with friends" then monitoring.. things . It no longer simply displays the most useful information and you have to go through a ton of steps to find anything. I am very disappointed, would love to go back to the"old" version!

Okay product

I bought this product thinking it was something else. I returned it to get what I actually wanted. While I had it hooked it it worked okay. The location device was not very good. While I was at work it said that I was 3 miles away.
No, I do not recommend this product.
