ZTE’s Connected Car is a Driving Instructor, Babysitter and Mechanic All-in-one

How can something so small offer so much to a family vehicle? The ZTE Connected Car Solution is less than 8cm by 5cm, yet offers a massive amount of safety and connectivity.

It helps you keep your family safe, connected and entertained, while actually helping you extend the life of your vehicle.

It’s simple to install and easily plugs into your vehicle’s OOBDII port. Once installed, you can also control it from a mobile app, designed by Mojio.

Many of today’s cars obviously come with their own Wi-Fi hub and GPS technology, but this device takes it to the next level.

Got a Teenage Driver?

Parents with new drivers or young adults on the road will love the ability to keep tabs on the location of their vehicle and their loved one.

The app can alert you when your driver arrives at their destination safely. And the device also offers “geofencing,” which creates a geographic virtual boundary. So, you will be alerted if the vehicle leaves that area or strays too far from home.

On top of this, the LTE enabled Connected Car Solution can actually use its GPS technology to monitor driving behavior and patterns to help build safe drivers, while it also minimizes unnecessary wear and tear on the actual vehicle.

Find Engine Disturbances Before They Become Engine Problems

Is the vehicle making a funny noise when you slow down, or are you crazy?

This mobile mechanic can also diagnose car trouble and alert you if there is something you should know about your engine.

You can get these real-time updates from your smartphone, whether you’re in the vehicle or not.  If your loved one is out and about and experiencing engine trouble, you will know right away.

You can contact them to let them know that they should either turn around and head home, or drive to the nearest mechanic.

In-Car Wi-Fi Makes For Better Road Trips

We don’t have to tell you the value of keeping your young ones entertained during long road trips. Idle hands tend to poke each other and throw things.

The ZTE device lets you connect up to 5 devices to in-car Wi-Fi, which keeps tiny hands and minds entertained with streaming music or videos, and makes for peaceful(ish) family outings.

The ZTE Connected Car Solution is currently offered through Bell and Telus. It can also be purchased for no money down (except for the SIM card), if you sign up for a data plan.
