I am still marveling at this device, I’ve never seen anything like it. The Mavia is a device that you plug into your car’s diagnostic port (currently used only by car technicians to analyze your car). The Mavia can then tell you numerous things about your car and it’s use. For example, when your check engine light turns on, Mavia will tell you in very understandable language what the problem is. Mavia will also help you keep track of your maintenance schedules and notify you of any needed service via your smartphone. Forgot where you parked the car? The Mazia app on your your smartphone will provide you with walking directions to your car. Curious where your teenage son is at 2am? If his car is equipped with the Mavia, you can check the GPS location of the car. Have you set limits of where your daughter can drive the family car to? With the Mavia, you can set GPS boundaries that when crossed, you will be sent an alert via your smartphone. Worried about your child being in an accident while driving? Unfortunately, the Mavia cannot prevent the accident, but it can automatically send a text message once an accident has occurred with the car’s GPS location to you, family members, 911, or even Facebook! Car stolen? Mavia will help you track the car’s location through your computer or smartphone, making it easier to notify police of it’s location. Mavia will be coming out on the market later this year and is likely to retail somewhere between $200-$300. Wait, there’s one more bonus…there is no monthly fee for the service!
