Driving and using the cellphone at the same time is a very dangerous combination. Notwithstanding all kinds of warnings on this matter, the fact remains that most drivers find it irresistible to check those phones even when driving. If ever you belong to these kinds of drivers, then perhaps it’s time for you get cellControl.
cellControl is the newest innovation from Scosche. This is a driving system, which integrates the phone and the vehicle to ensure safe driving. The system works by blocking all incoming text messages, phone calls and internet access while the car is in motion. In effect, cellControl gives the driver an excuse not to touch and use the mobile phone when driving. Specifically, cellControl is helpful to drivers who have made it a habit of using the phone whenever they are driving. “Habit” in this case means they cannot help themselves from using the phone no matter how much resolve they put on such effort.
Drivers can use the cellControl by buying the app and downloading it on their mobile phone. The user must activate the system by going to the Scosche website. Last thing to do is to install the trigger unit that comes with the system into the vehicle’s OBD – II interface.
Scosche said that cellCONTROL can be used by over 1,200 cell phones and with all types of cars in the United States since 1996, provided there is an OBD-II in the car. The system works without the driver doing anything. Thus, when the car is in motion, the system automatically kicks in to block all cellphone functionalities that may tempt the driver to use the phone, unless the system detects a hand-free headset. As an added safety protection, the system cannot be removed or tampered since a signal of these acts will be sent to a “designated administrator”. Finally, cellControl works one on one with the enrolled phone, which means that not all phones inside the vehicle will be affected.
cellControl is now available for $129.95 at Scoshe’s site.
