MyCarAlert
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stolen. Towed. Taken without you knowing. You find out instantly, wherever you are. A thief, a tow truck or someone who took the keys without asking – the moment your car starts moving, MyCarAlert sends an alert to your phone and shows you where it is. Through the 4G SIM inside the device, not Bluetooth: it works when you are in another city or another country. ALERTS AND LOCATION Get the notification on your phone when the car moves without you, when the engine starts, when it exceeds the speed or RPM limit, when the device is unplugged. See the live position and three months of history. Movement and engine-start alerts work from day one, with no setup; zones and speed limits are optional. VEHICLE DATA AND MAINTENANCE On compatible cars, the device reads the on-board computer and brings the data to your phone: - Error codes. - Real odometer from the dashboard, not estimated from GPS. - RPM, battery voltage, fuel level – with alerts when they leave the normal range. - Service reminders by mileage or by date: oil change, filters, inspection, insurance – the app reminds you in time and shows how far you are over. Available data depends on the car's make, model and year. MyCarAlert does not replace a workshop diagnosis. IMPORTANT This app requires a compatible MyCarAlert GPS device and an active service subscription. Alerts require mobile coverage for the device and internet on your phone. No alarm can prevent a theft; MyCarAlert tells you right away and shows you the position. Tell the people who drive the car that it is monitored.

Verdict
