Is Your Vehicle Making Noise? | Transforming Your Driving Experience into a Smart Connection #vzwbuzz

While many are familiar with smart home devices, there’s now an innovative technology designed to upgrade your car into a “smart” vehicle.

Verizon Telematics, a front-runner in the telematics industry with over a decade of experience, has rolled out an aftermarket vehicle solution that empowers drivers from all walks of life—from busy parents to routine commuters—to stay connected and informed.

The hum device offers users an easy-to-install solution that predicts potential vehicle issues, helps avert breakdowns, and ensures support when trouble occurs. With just a simple button press, drivers can access diagnostic data, request roadside assistance, and consult ASE-certified mechanics and emergency responders instantly.

How hum operates

The installation of hum requires plugging an onboard diagnostic (OBD) reader into the vehicle’s OBD port and attaching a Bluetooth-enabled device to the visor. The subscription plan includes a smartphone app that allows users to monitor vehicle health, request assistance, and manage maintenance needs, even when away from the car.

Utilizing GPS technology, hum can effectively send advanced roadside assistance, notify emergency services of the vehicle’s location in the event of a collision, and help recover a reported stolen vehicle.

Highlighted features include:

– Precision Roadside Assistance available for breakdowns, flat tires, overheating, dead batteries, or any situation requiring tow or roadside help.

– Incident Notification & Emergency Assistance alerts the hum emergency response team if an incident is detected, sending help to the location based on GPS, especially if an accident occurs or there is no response from the driver. Drivers can also reach out for help by pressing a button to connect with a live agent.

– Vehicle Health & Diagnostics allows subscribers to foresee and avoid mechanical problems by providing insights into vehicle wellness through both the hum web portal and mobile app.

– Mechanic’s Hotline connects drivers to ASE Certified Mechanics, offering personalized, prompt, and impartial advice on repairs and vehicle maintenance.

– Parking & Meter Features assist users in locating their vehicle with the hum app while also tracking remaining parking meter time.

– Maintenance Alerts and Notifications can be customized for routine services like oil changes and tire rotations, while the system will automatically inform users of any vehicle issues or recalls.

– Stolen Vehicle Assistance is available upon request; hum collaborates with authorities to assist in tracking down stolen vehicles.

– Travel & Repair Discounts cover hotels, rental vehicles, travel-related expenses, and auto maintenance costs.

Subscription plans spanning two years start at just $14.99 per month, plus applicable taxes and fees for the primary vehicle (hardware valued at $120 included). Additional vehicles can be added for a lower fee. To discover more and acquire hum, visit hum.com.
