Turn your car into a smart device with Apple iPhone

Automatic Labs has recently announced the launching of a highly-innovative device that can turn ordinary cars into smart devices using Apple’s iPhone. This invention will definitely be appreciated by drivers, who will be able to save both time and money.

Apple iPhone to communicate with a car as smart device

What does the brand-new Automatic Link to for your car?

Automatic Link begins working when plugged in your vehicle’s OBD (on-board diagnostics port), which is located near the driver’s seat, under the left side of the dashboard. The OBD port is found on all vehicles merchandised in the U.S. since 1996, and its main goal is to provide information related to fuel level, speed and error reports. This app takes over these pointers, offering crucial information that will help drivers travel safe, while also reducing their energy usage.

The current information shows that the device is actually designed to turn driving into a smarter activity. ThejoKote, co-founder of Automatic and its actual CEO, stated that once drivers manage to change their driving habits, gas usage will no longer be a problem, as the consumption will be reduced remarkably. He also mentioned that the purpose of this app is to improve drivers’ views on their cars, even though they do nothing for their improvement. Automatic Link is turned on whenever the engine is started and creates its own journey report, which shows the places visited and the fuel efficiency (expressed also in money). Besides, this app has the ability to show weekly trends and timelines that drivers can share between them, especially if they own similar types of cars.

Automatic Link- a Smart App that you’ll simply adore

Users who use this app constantly will get the chance to see their own weekly score statement, which is created, based on several aspects such as rough braking, fast accelerating and speeding. This means that drivers will be able to adjust their driving habits in order to improve their fuel efficiency. Besides, Automatic Link uses the data obtained through GPS in order to identify the price that you need to pay for filing your gas tank. In other words, the GPS analyzes the gas stations located in your vicinity and their prices, as well as the quantity of gas that you need.

Apart from these features, Automatic Link can also look over the state of your vehicle and use push notifications for explaining why some lights may be activated on your dashboard. And to make things even better, this system is also able to evaluate the issue and come up with a solution. Knowing that a device can help them deal with their vehicle’s problems will be a great relief for drivers who can’t always go the mechanic.

Another useful feature included in this app is a system called Crash Alert, which uses the iPhone’s data connection to transmit several details about a potential accident to 911 operators, including the name of the driver, exact location, and car description. Plus, it can also get in touch with your close friends and relatives and inform them about the accident and about whether an ambulance was called.

The best thing about the app is that you’ll never have to determine the quantity of gas needed to go from one location to another, since it will do everything for you. Drivers no longer have to worry about inconveniences brought by their old cars, because Automatic Link works even with vehicles whose fuel efficiency is not shown on the dashboard.

Device compatibility and cost

Did you forget where you parked your vehicle? Every driver who has had this type of experience knows that a system like Automatic Link is their savior. The smart device provides drivers with the exact location of their cars, meaning that you will never have to deal with this type of situation again.

As far as price is concerned, this device doesn’t cost more than $70 and doesn’t imply any subscription charges. Automatic Link is currently available only for iPhone 4S and iPhone5. Android users may be a little disappointed that their operating system is not available with this app, but they will be pleased to find out that developers have announced the launching of a new version compatible with Android this fall. With all these features included, Automatic Link will definitely attract a large number of drivers.  Besides, its price is very reasonable taking into account the wide range of benefits offered.

    Having a diagnostic app for your smart phone and connecting it to your cars ECU would be brilliant. The technology is out there and even better if connected using a blue tooth device? We all struggle to get warning codes from our vehicle without going to a garage or someone who has OBD diagnostic reader.
