Véhicule Mind is a device from Quebec that allows us to protect, maintain and extend the life of our vehicle. By connecting to our smartphone, we can obtain a great deal of information about our car and thus prevent problems that may arise.
Update: Please note that on September 15, 2022, Vehicule Mind has unfortunately closed its doors. This invites users to hold the position in case their services are restored.
We live in a world where all devices are becoming smarter and cars are no exception.
However, not all new vehicles have smart functions, and older models obviously don't.
Quebecers came up with the idea of making cars smart using a simple device they called The vehicle of the mind.
Save on possible car repairs
The “car brain” is a device that we connect to our car, which, synchronized with our smartphone, will become like a virtual mechanic.
The latter is compatible with cars, SUVs, minivans and light trucks manufactured after 2008.
I personally tried it on my Kia Soul. You connect the device, download the app, and enter the device code. Magic happens after riding a few kilometers! My car “talked” to me as if it were a Tesla!
Through the mobile application, we get a lot of information about our car. This allows us to detect potential problems and address them before it is too late.
with The vehicle of the mindwe can also know:
- Battery status
- Fuel level
- Residual autonomy
- Problems with the engine or other components
- Level of severity of the problem
- The effects of these problems on the car
- Repair solutions that can be done
- Upcoming interviews
Vehicule Mind is available in French.
A device to easily deduct business-related travel
Vehicle Mind is also a very useful device for people who work on the road and need to deduct their business expenses.
Thanks to GPS, it allows us to keep a record while we only need, through the application, to determine when we travel for our daily life or for work.
So it becomes much easier to get a report for mileage reimbursement from the employer or our tax deductions.
Protect your car and get support
Vehicle Mind also allows us to add a layer of security to our vehicle. In particular, we can determine geolocation, but also receive alerts if we are towed or if there is a collision with our car.
Finally, the device gives us tips on how to become safer and more environmentally friendly behind the wheel based on our driving habits.
The Vehicule Mind hub retails for $100, but you also have to sign up for a $10 monthly subscription to get all of the company's support.
This subscription also allows us to have a 24-hour mechanical and roadside help line if a problem occurs.
