I’m already planning on getting away for Spring Break and I’m excited that this year I have the Zubie to help me stay connected to my car and my “crew”. Zubie is an always-connected wireless service that monitors your engine and battery health so that you can make sure that your vehicle is ready for the road. Plus, it’s a great comfort to have engine alerts explain confusing error codes and help you save money with instant repair estimates should a problem arise. If you are traveling with a group, which is a possibility for Spring Break, try the secure trip coordination to keep track of your caravan. 
Zubie is the ultimate road trip buddy! I’ve been using my Zubie key for the last 8 weeks and I love that it assures me that my engine and battery health are up to par, and it keeps me on top of my driving game! I just plain feel more secure with the Zubie!
How the Zubie Works
Just plug in the Zubie under your dash, download the free Zubie app to your smart phone {Zubie always-connected service works with iOS 4+ and Android 2.3+}, and let the Zubie do the rest!
As you can see from the screen shots above {taken from my phone from my Zubie app}, the Zubie service allows you to track and improve your driving behavior and also provides your real time information on the heath of your cars systems and condition all with the easy-to-install Zubie Key and mobile app! The Zubie monitors and tracks speeding, sudden acceleration, hard braking, vehicle location and more! This is great for families with teen drivers! And one’s with mom drivers as well. {{smiling}} I have far more hard brakes than I’d like, and I’ve been trying to improve that lately. One of my favorite screens on the Zubie app is the map. It shows your route, which can be really helpful in seeing where you’ve been, where you could have made better use of your time, etc. Just yesterday I was reviewing my recent “trips” and I noticed that I had “idled” for 40 minutes during my kids drop off. I hadn’t even noticed that while I was chit chatting with a friend on the side of the road my car was running. At over $4 a gallon for gas, that is driving behavior I should be thinking about! The Zubie alerted me to this, which is really helpful.
Save money on car repairs and prevent breakdowns including low-battery alert and simple translations of engine codes. I’ve been stranded with a dead battery more times than I want to admit. Knowing that I have an extra protection against this means a TON to me.
Eliminate the “Where R U?” texts. You can stay in touch with your family and friends with their secure location sharing and trip coordination features, which is super nice. Plus, once the trip is over, you can disconnect.
To clarify: Zubie is a service – not an Accessory – that uses a cellular connection to keep you, your car and it’s on-board systems always in communication.
Connect with Zubie on Twitter and on Facebook for the latest and greatest!
Share-worthy driving scores and badges make safe driving more fun! I’ve been using my Zubie for 2 months now and I’m finally an “Average Joe”. YES! {laughing}
