Starting with vehicle security features, the JioMotive device provides access to Real-time Vehicle Tracking, letting users track the location of their vehicle in real-time. The device also enables the users to set up virtual boundaries, known as geofences, on a map and receive instant alerts should the vehicle move beyond the set limits. The device also incorporates a Time Fence feature letting users set specific time periods during which the vehicle should not be turned on. The device will also provide owners warning should their vehicle get towed.
Users can also monitor vehicle parameters such as battery health, engine load, coolant temperature, and air intake temperature. Additionally, the device also offers access to over 200+ engine diagnostic codes, helping car owners take better care of their vehicles and save on maintenance costs.
