I don’t think it takes much battery. And the device should remain active to detect car theft etc.

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.
