There are two options available as part of this study: both use devices that plug directly in to the OBD-II port in your vehicle. The primary difference between the two devices is that the plug-in device with location utilizes GPS software to track your mileage and provide additional features. The table below outlines specific features available with each device option. Questions? Check out the Pilot Participant FAQs.
