Automile ELD Kit

With Automile, everything has been kept very simple. The goal of keeping things cheap makes everything straightforward. Unlike many other systems that are too complex for the veteran trucker, Automile provides a system that is even easier than paper HOD logging.

The kit includes only one device, which is the Automile Box. The driver or trucking company supplies a mobile device enabled with Bluetooth connectivity and a working data plan. The Box works through an OBD-II, which is usually present in small trucks as opposed to the larger JPorts found in trailer trucks.

Once you receive the Automile Box, install it as follows:

  1. Check the underside of your vehicle’s dashboard for the OBD-II port. It can also be found in other places such as on the side panels, above the foot pedals, on the steering column,  or hidden within a plastic cover.
  2. Once you find it, plug in the Automile Box.
  3. Turn on your ignition.
  4. Launch the Automile App on your mobile device and turn on Bluetooth.
  5. Pair the Box and your mobile device.
  6. Drive around for about 20 minutes to allow the device and your device to sync. During this period, the data collected may not be accurate.

After the initial drive, you are now ready to view your reports, driving data, fuel consumption, and more. The driver will be able to login to the app, start and end sessions, and more.

If you want to install it in a truck with a JPort ECM port, do the following:

  1. Purchase an OBD-II port replicator cable. You can buy it on Amazon or in a vehicle parts store near you.
  2. Remove the panel covering the OBD port on your dashboard.
  3. Attach the replicator cable to the existing port connector.
  4. Attach the Automile Box to the OBD port.
  5. Push back in the cables as best as you can and replace the dashboard panel.

You can now relax because your Automile ELD is working perfectly. Use your mobile device to get your reports, view driving performance, and more.
