According to foreign media reports, T-Mobile has upgraded its integrated connected car solution SyncUP DRIVE. The updated SyncUP DRIVE has more features and a new application. SyncUP DRIVE users can request and track roadside assistance in real time, easily obtain gas prices and nearby gas station information, and better understand vehicle diagnostics without spending extra money.

John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile, said, "We are improving the user experience without increasing costs. We connect users to their vehicles." SyncUP DRIVE is a connected car solution that is compatible with most current vehicles. It can help users better understand their cars and improve road safety. The updated SyncUP DRIVE application is easier to navigate and has a set of new features. These new features include:

Roadside Assistance Live Tracking : The new app can send a request for roadside assistance and track the tow truck in real time.

Gas Assistant : The new app can display gas prices and information about nearby gas stations to help save time and money.

Vehicle Needs Monitoring : The new dashboard uses color icons to display an overview of the vehicle's health, helping users prioritize issues that need attention, including the fuel tank, engine , and battery , and providing other useful information.

Go paperless : The new virtual glove box can store electronic insurance, registration and repair records.

Better connection : After the hardware update, the SyncUP DRIVE frequency is 600MHz, which can better cover areas such as rural areas and parking lots.

SyncUP DRIVE turns your car into an in-car Wi-Fi mobile hotspot, pinpointing the exact location of your vehicle. This is very helpful for parents of teenage drivers and users who forget where they parked their car. SyncUP DRIVE also analyzes driving behavior and provides suggestions for reducing wear and tear. In addition, SyncUP DRIVE can be plugged into the OBD-II onboard diagnostic port, so when the check engine light comes on, users can get information about the car's faults. In short, this new and improved app can help users manage their vehicles. The app is available on iOS and Android and can be downloaded and used by all new and existing SyncUP DRIVE users.
