Auto Upgrade Apps

This Connected Device Can Help Consumers Upgrade an Old Vehicle

— October 22, 2015 — Autos
'Voyo' is a smart device that consumers can use to upgrade an old vehicle. While new cars are equipped with a variety of high-tech features, older vehicles remain stuck in the past. This device helps consumers access some of the features that come standard on newer models.

Voyo is a connected device that plugs into a car's OBD-II port. Along with its accompanying app, Voyo helps drivers access some of the features that their vehicle may not be equipped with. The multi-threaded tool works by reading and interpreting 140 operating parameters at the same time. This information ultimately helps drivers stay informed and gives them greater control over an old vehicle. As the head of venture design at Frog explains, "You experience a new level of intelligence with the car and the interaction that takes over."

Voyo is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the connected car device.
Trend Themes
1. Connected Car Devices - Opportunity for technology companies to create more smart devices that can enhance older vehicles with high-tech features.
2. OBD-II Port Technology - Opportunity for development of new technologies that can interpret and use operating parameters on a real-time basis to give drivers greater control over their vehicle.
3. Vehicle Upgrade Apps - Opportunity for app developers to create more innovative and user-friendly apps that can interface with connected devices like Voyo to improve older cars with newer features.
Industry Implications
1. Automobile Industry - Opportunity for companies to offer upgrade services for older vehicles using connected devices that can provide access to high-tech features.
2. Technology Industry - Opportunity for technology companies to create new products and services that enable drivers to access high-tech features in their older vehicles.
3. Mobile App Development Industry - Opportunity for mobile app developers to create user-friendly and innovative apps that can connect with connected car devices which can enhance an older car s functionality.
