Dear Prashant sir-since you are using this, could you just share few
lines from accessibility perspective personally on email and let's take
it to their management for improvement? At least one such device and app
should be accessible for us. I will keep their management details ready
in the mean while.
Another advantage of this should be that those old cars which do not
have connectivity feature can also be benefited by it.
Regards,
Amar Jain

Dear all,
Many visually impaired may be wanting to keep a track of their car.
Some of the new cars come with connected features where the owner can
check where the car is, details of previous trips, set geo
fence, check driver's behaviour such as over speeding, harsh breaking
etc.
Many devices are available in the market for installation in cars that
don't have this feature in-built.
I have just now installed the GoConnect OBD device from GoMechanic. I
think it is an extremely good option. It is for only Rs. 1650 whereas
most other known brands are selling similar devices in the range of rs.
6000 to 12,000.
And the most important is that we are not required to pay any monthly
or yearly subscription for the sim card that is embedded in the device.
It is a one time cost. One can order it from GoMechanic app. You will
need to take your car to their workshop where the device will be
inserted in the OBD port which is mostly below the steering wheel.
Activation takes less than 30 minutes. They did not ask for any
document. You just need to create an account in the GoMechanic ap.
What concerns us is accessibility of the app. The GoMechanic iOS app
is partly accessible at this time. It should be possible for blind
users to check the location of their car, speed, distance travelled
etc. Most other features are not accessible.
Please buy it at your own risk as far as accessibility is concerned.
Otherwise it is highly recommended for non-disabled users of cars.
Thanks,
