With the introduction of the CO-DRIVER NO2 and the new navigation feature, you will now be able to use our navigation together with CarPlay and Android Auto.

We're adding a small add-on fee for you to use it with your infotainment system - but not until you've tried the services for free for a full year.

The fact is that offering these services was highly demanded by our community. Naturally, we want to give the community what it wants, but this time around it has a certain cost because that means we have to rely on new, external partners. And it does so because cost money based on how frequently they are used and for now we are able to offer a 12-month period for free with the purchase of a CO-DRIVER NO2.

As described, it'll be completely free for the first year, so you can try it out before paying anything. If you like it, you can keep using it after the first year at a small monthly fee (that’s right, we don’t make any money here - it’s only to cover the operational costs). If you don’t like it, you can keep using all the other features and benefits free of charge. Just as it has always been.

There's nothing we want more than to be able to provide the services for free and we’re exploring every option to do so. But for now, this is our reality.

To clear up any kind of confusion we have added a list of the most common questions regarding the add-on fees, that we have received from our community of users:

 

  1. When does the 12-month free period start?
    -As soon as you connect your CO-DRIVER NO2 to the OOONO app, you will have instant access to the Navigation and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto features. So as soon as you connect your CO-DRIVER NO2 to the app, your 12-month period starts.

  2. Can I use my CO-DRIVER NO1/NO2 without paying any extra fees?
    -Absolutely! Rest assured that the core functionalities of the CO-DRIVERs, like sending and receiving vital traffic information, will NEVER be put behind a pay-wall.

  3. What exactly do I gain from paying the add-on fees?
    -The extra fee is only required to unlock Navigation and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto (and the first 12 months are free!).

  4. Do you automatically start charging me after the 12-month free period?
    -We're not like that. Access to the features will be removed after 12 months, and then it is up to you if you want to pay to continue to use them. We require no credit card information from you to use Navigation and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto in the free period.

  5. Can my partner also use the extra features with their own smartphone?
    -During the 12-month free trial, every smartphone connected to the CO-DRIVER NO2 in question can use all features, including Navigation, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.

  6. Is payment handled via the OOONO app?
    -We are still exploring options to cover the operations costs of the add-ons. So for now, we are not sure if there will be any payment after the 12-month free period. If payment will be required, then it will be billed via your AppleID account or Google Play Store account.

  7. Why did you introduce extra payment?
    -We conducted a large user survey in our user community and 78% of the participants asked for Carplay/Android Auto. That left us with two options: 1. Not offering the services that 78% asked for… OR 2. Introduce a small add-on fee on premium features such as CarPlay/Auto. Naturally, we chose the second. However, Navigation, Apple Carplay/Android Auto come with a cost because we need to play with the big boys. You know, Google & Apple. And they do not collaborate for free. That's why we have to charge a monthly fee - after a full year of free use of the features.
