MindR Connect uses a powerful and compact GPS unit capable of advanced telematics (over 40 CAN bus parameters are available). The same unit also provides an OEM style alarm which is able send you real time alerts, sound the horn and prevent the vehicle from starting if it detects unauthorised access. We break GPS systems down into 2 categories, active and passive. Most other systems are passive systems which require you to return to your vehicle, find it has been broken into or stolen and then contact your provider to try to locate and recover it. MindR Connect is an active system which constantly monitors your vehicle for theft attempts allowing it to actively raise the alarm and notify you as soon as the vehicle is compromised or stolen giving you the best chance of recovery. Additionally MindR Connect is great for managing small fleets with WOF/Licencing/RUC and service reminders all included with our NZTA datalink. Always know the state of your vehicle with features such as: * Real time vehicle location * Battery Voltage * GSM Jamming Alert * Intrusion alert (vehicle is broken into, sounds horn) * Theft alert (vehicle is towed, sounds horn) * Alert from external alarm * Warrant of Fitness Reminders * Servicing Reminders * Vehicle licencing reminders * Live odometer (live off the dash or GPS calculated) * Vehicle lock status (CAN bus only) * Fuel level (CAN bus only) * Seatbelt alert (CAN bus only) * Driver behavior * Vehicle finder (ever lost your vehicle in a carpark?) * A variety of DTC codes are available depending on vehicle (airbag fault, abs fault etc) .
