Automatic - Smartphone App

I like it, just pre-order it...........

 

Looks great. If real time data is shown (for example ICE RPM) I will buy it!

 

Interesting product. I'll have to wait until May for the iPhone5. Hopefully there will be good feedback on this item from fellow Prius owners.

 

I'm wondering if you have used your Automatic in your PIP. I just preordered one, and then asked the company if a PIP is supported (yes, I should have asked first!). The quick reply was that the Prius Plug-In is not supported, nor are other electric cars. When I preordered, I noticed there was a drop down selection for a Prius, PriusC and Prius V. Nothing specifically for a PIP. what was interesting was the drop down for a LEAF.
If it has worked for your PIP I would love to get one.

Thanks,

Joyce

 

Just a quick update... I bought this. It shows the approximate cost of trips travelled, will also show where you parked your car, if you get into a major accident it will call the authorities, can tell you if your take offs and braking is eco friendly and report where you have been traveling (see your trips on a map). You can see error codes and clear them. There are third party apps that work with the device to show real time info (rev mpg etc).

Overall I was disappointed. It doesn't show the actual amount of gas I have, and/or how much is being used. Most of the other 'features' I can get without the device via other apps or the car itself.

I would recommend this product to a person who has an older car and smart phone without all of the features. For a majority of Prius owners... not useful.
