Innovation from Scosche at CES 2012 – Parents, want to stop teens from texting and driving?

How to stop texting and driving

Check out this innovative product from Scosche Industries. The CellCONTROL module makes it easy for parents to make sure their kids are driving safe and not distracted by using their cell phones while driving. This device is designed to plug into the OBDII port of any vehicle produced in the US from 1996 and up. The CellCONTROL module is easily set up.  Simply activate the unit online, download the app to the distracted driver’s cell phone and then plug the CellCONTROL into the OBDII port.

When the vehicle is in motion, the most distracting functions of the cell phone will be disabled. No texting, no internet browsing, no camera functionality and not even phone use will be allowed. Phone functionality resumes when a handsfree bluetooth kit is registered to the phone.


Not only is this kit a wonderful option for parents of teen drivers, but it’s a great option for any employer who has employees driving on company time.
