The gadget, which works on new Volvos, taps into the car’s computer. It can even help owners locate their motor on a map, and sets off the horn and lights to assist them in tracking it down. The free download can also unlock the doors
– although phone thieves still need the key to drive off. If the car is stolen, the device will track its location.
To use the app, buyers
must opt for Volvo’s £325
On Call crash alert system, which includes a 3G SIM
card hidden in the model.
A five-year SIM subscription
is included in the package.
