Q: What if my child manually turns off Bluetooth in his cell phone?

Q: What if my child has his/her cell phone off when starting the car, and then turns the phone back on after the car is started?

A: By design, our software prevents a teen from manually turning off the Bluetooth of his phone. There are parental locks that will prevent the teenager or user from manipulating this without permission or a passcode. The parents can go to our website and setup the passcode using a PC’s browser, and the K2SD software program in the associated cell phone will automatically update and synchronize with any changes made to the user’s setting without use of a USB cable.

If somehow a teen driver circumvents the parental locks and Bluetooth is turned off, our system can automatically switch on Bluetooth and search for the driving signal from the paired key, so that texting and talking while driving can be identified and blocked by our software program and the transgression is recorded for use in our safety score system.

Good idea, poor execution. Needs improvements

If it only sends out the signal when the key is exposed, can my child have his/her cell phone off when starting the car and then turn it on after the car is started to circumvent this?

What if they turn off the Bluetooth option on the phone? Will the device still stop usage of the phone?

If it constantly sends out the signal, they could leave the key exposed all the time to kill the battery to avoid this whole process.

If my passenger’s phone works and he doesn’t let me use the phone, can’t I threaten him to make him get out of the car if he doesn’t give me his cell phone?

Why would you tell your child about this device when your child will be more than capable of disabling it?

Is the device waterproof? Can my child dunk the device in water to prevent it from sending out the signal as the key is controled by a mechanical switch to expose the key?
