The Driver's Texting Disabler

This is the system that prevents drivers from texting, accessing email, and web browsing on a smartphone while the car is moving. A palm-sized transmitter plugs into a car's OBD-II port under the dashboard and connects via Bluetooth to a free app on the driver's phone. The app prevents the use of distracting smartphone software when the car is moving yet enables full access when stationary. Winner of the Design and Innovations Award at the Consumer Electronics Show, the system allows drivers to make hands-free calls and listen to music while the car is moving. If the device is removed from the vehicle's OBD-II port (standard in automobiles manufactured after 1996), an email is automatically sent to a designated parent or guardian. Compatible with smartphones running Android 2.1 and up or BlackBerry 4.5 and up. 6 3/4" L x 4 2/3" W x 1 2/3" D. (4 oz.)
