'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.
