Here's my review after installing the bsafemobile device.
Packaging looks nice. Wish there were instructions. It looks like you install the obd2 module, download app, connect your device via Bluetooth to bbeacon which is the obd2 module.
You also need to go to the bsafemobile website and setup an administrator account and add drivers. You set all the permissions in the admin portal.
You have to drive to see the screen that says passenger or emergency like on the website. When you stop it will ask you to finish drive. If you press finish you can use the phone normal.
I did remove the obd2 module while driving and while sitting to see what alerts I would get. I got none that I know of. If the obd2 module is removed before driving you can use your phone like normal.
You do get a driving score and on my small test so far I can't do anything except a screen shot or hit the home button. The app only see the home button being pressed. It records times and locations of the event. It also records beginning and end of your drive.
I did have some questions and sent an email to support to try and figure out if the software can notice when the module is unplugged and report it. I also didn't get text message alerts yet so I want to find that out as well. This could be that I'm using the phone and also the admin so I may try adding my wife's number and see what happens.
Anyway, at least the product is real and works. I may try and write up some instructions and send to cogosense or maybe they have some already but a step by step guide would be more user friendly.
If anyone wants screen shots or knows a way to post pictures let me know. I have the retail packaging, my driving score and the report with the alerts. Pretty much all the same as on the bsafemobile website except I have yet to see the start button screen.
I'm willing to try or test anything with this unit so let me know and I can report back.
