Modul-System has developed the Modul-Connect app for Android Auto, enabling users to seamlessly engage the Modul-Connect app on their smartphone on the vehicle’s infotainment system, regardless of make.
The vehicle app, developed for the light commercial vehicle industry, synchronizes with the phone app, enabling users to control the heater, monitor assets and turn vehicle lights on or off directly from the in-vehicle screen.
With all functions presented on the built-in screen, Modul-System reduces driver distraction. The company says the integration marks a major step toward safer and more efficient fleet management. With all essential functions in one system, drivers no longer need multiple screens or separate systems for auxiliary electrics.
Users can control essential vehicle functions such as lights, the heater and the security system. The platform also enables real-time monitoring of vehicle climate, battery voltage, vehicle weight and onboard assets. Through its historic data capabilities, Modul-Connect provides access to records including the driving journal, climate history, battery performance and vehicle weight, and users can generate downloadable reports on vehicle climate, toll data, driving logs and weight metrics, enabling informed decision-making and enhanced operational oversight.
“At Modul-System, we are committed to developing cost-saving, user-friendly solutions that align with the future of fleet management. We see the need, the potential and the proof from our customers, Modul-Connect simplifies the user’s day,” said Thomas Johansson, vice president of Modul-System.
