The Vivint Car Guard is an aftermarket vehicle diagnostics tool for drivers seeking to keep an eye on the health of their car on a regular basis without having to constantly take it into the mechanic. The device works by being plugged into the OBD-II port on the vehicle and will go to work monitoring for issues that could come about on a regular basis. Users can also take advantage of reminders to perform routine maintenance according to the last time they did so and more.
The Vivint Car Guard also works to track the location of the vehicle to relay this information to the driver via the accompanying smartphone app to keep an eye on it for security purposes or when someone else is driving it.
