Quick tips to get the most out of OverRIDE
OverRIDE is designed to work automatically in the background—but a few simple tips will ensure everything runs smoothly every time you drive.
📌 Start Here: The 3 Most Important Things
If something isn’t working as expected, check these first:
The OBD device is plugged in securely
The driver’s phone has all permissions enabled
The app is running in the background (not force closed)
✅ Most issues are resolved by confirming these three things.
📱 Keep the App Running Properly
For OverRIDE to activate instantly when driving begins:
Do not force close the app
Allow background activity
Keep permissions enabled at all times
📌 Modern phones may try to limit apps in the background—make sure OverRIDE is allowed to run.
🔔 Enable Notifications
Notifications are critical for:
Speed alerts
Tamper alerts
Setup confirmations
⚠️ If notifications are turned off, you may miss important safety updates.
🚗 Understanding OverRIDE Mode
When the vehicle starts moving:
Selected apps are locked automatically

The phone returns to normal when the vehicle stops
🟢 No manual action is required—OverRIDE activates on its own.
🚨 Bypass & Alerts
In case of an emergency:
The driver can manually bypass OverRIDE Mode
The parent/admin will be immediately notified
📌 This ensures safety while maintaining accountability.
🔧 If Something Isn’t Working
Try these quick fixes:

Confirm all permissions are still enabled
