Congratulations on getting your DroneMobile system installed. You and your vehicle are now connected like never before. As with any new technology, you might be wondering exactly where to start to get the most out of your experience.

Follow this guide to set up your account and customize the app to fit your lifestyle.


Set Up Your Free Premium Trial

Every new DroneMobile installation comes with a 30-day free trial of our Premium service. This includes vehicle control, GPS tracking, and instant alerts. For most users, Premium offers the ideal balance of features to stay connected with their car.

To ensure your service remains uninterrupted, you can set up an automatic renewal with a valid billing method at any time during your trial. This ensures you never go a day without the peace of mind that DroneMobile provides.


Customize Your Vehicle Profile

When our support team connects with new users, we always enjoy seeing a great photo of their car or a creative vehicle nickname. Beyond personalizing your experience, uploading these details serves a practical purpose.

Having a distinct photo and name eliminates the possibility of accidentally sending a command to the wrong vehicle if you have multiple DroneMobile systems in your household or business.


Personalize Your Home Screen

The DroneMobile app home screen features a variety of widgets that display vital information. You can rearrange these to prioritize what matters most to you. Simply tap the pencil icon in the top right corner to enter edit mode.

Depending on how you use your vehicle, you might consider these layouts:

  • The Daily Commuter: Move Controls to the top so you can quickly lock, unlock, or remote start your car the moment you open the app.
  • The Family Driver: If a teen or family member is using the car, place the Location widget at the top to see where the vehicle is at a glance.
  • The Prized Possession: For project cars or vehicles that sit for long periods, prioritize Battery and Status widgets to monitor your battery levels and health.

Set Up Important Alerts

Setting up alerts is one of the most important steps for vehicle security. To manage these, tap the Setup icon in the lower right corner, select Vehicles, and then choose Alerts.

From this menu, you can toggle specific notifications on or off based on your preferences. Please note that the specific alerts available to you may vary depending on your DroneMobile hardware and installation type.

We Are Here to Help!
