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
Approved apps continue working
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:

Restart the driver’s phone
Confirm all permissions are still enabled
Make sure the device is fully plugged in
Take a short drive to re-trigger the system

✅ These steps resolve the majority of issues.

📊 Using Your Dashboard

Inside the app, you can monitor:

Trip history
Driving behavior
Top speeds
Vehicle health

📌 Check in regularly to stay informed and reinforce safe habits.

🔐 Your Privacy Matters

OverRIDE is built with privacy in mind:

No tracking when not driving
No unnecessary data collection
Data is only used to power safety features

💡 Pro Tips
– Set app rules with your driver together for better buy-in
– Allow navigation + music apps for a balanced experience
– Review trip data weekly to reinforce safe driving habits
