Underground parking can block satellite signals. Updates resume when the car comes out.
Questions we hear often
Is wired or OBD better?
Wired is harder to find. OBD is quicker to fit and move.
Will fitting harm my car?
A correct fitting does not. We use proper connectors.
Does it record video?
No. Video needs a dashcam.
