Dallas — AT&T and Audiovox have partnered to provide network connectivity to an Audiovox telematics and location-based vehicle service system.
The plug-in OBDII device is designed to provide maintenance alerts, vehicle tracking, car location and driver scoring, among other things. A smartphone app will enable remote start and vehicle locking.
The OBDII device will use an embedded HSPA wireless modem to send telematics and location data that can be accessed through a smartphone, tablet or desktop computer, AT&T said.
