Service Plans and Connections A Service Plan is a yearly subscription for access to AUTOMATE® On-line. It includes AUTOMATE® website and telephone access. Each vehicle within an account requires its own Service Plan. Service Plans are available in 1, 2, and 3 year terms. Connection credits are the number of alert and action connections available. Each time an action is successful or alert is processed the connection meter is debited. The number of debits made is dependant on the action performed or the alert processed. Connections may be used by any vehicle within an account, and as long as your subscription is active your connection balance will not expire. Be aware if your connection balance falls to zero you will not be able to perform any actions nor will the system be able to process any alerts.

Originally developed by the US Department of Defense, GPS is used for many different applications including, offshore ocean navigation, direction finding, exploration and vehicle locating. Without Selective Availability, GPS is accurate to within a radius of 6. 3 meters of a location (95% of the GPS points fall within this radius). There are inherent limitations to wireless communications and the Global Positioning System (GPS). Future of GPS Technology AUTOMATED® 210A services leverage stable, reliable technology platforms with the ability to implement future technological advancements. AUTOMATED® 210A is developed to support emerging wireless platforms and devices to ensure future value and avoid obsolescence. The AUTOMATED® 210A uses industry standard cellular wireless communications networks (cellular) to communicate with vehicles. Therefore, vehicles must be within cellular coverage to communicate. Cellular networks currently cover approximately 95% of populated North America. [. . . ] We encourage you to familiarize yourself with these statements.
