Transform your car into a connected vehicle

[dropcap letter="T"]

elefónica has launched the reservation website for Movistar Car, a new service that connects the car to make it safer and smarter through a device that the driver easily installs and an application that manages it. The service, with a registration fee of 20 euros, will be marketed starting in February 2019 for three euros per month (VAT included) and will be available for gasoline cars manufactured from 2004 onwards and from 2005 for diesel cars.

Movistar Car has the following functionalities:

• Connectivity: generates an exclusive Wi-Fi network for the car (with 3GB per month), allowing up to five devices to connect simultaneously to browse without consuming data from the customer's mobile plan.
• Security: if the car receives an impact, Movistar Car automatically sends a call to a platform that initiates the assistance protocol, including the management of the 112 emergency service if necessary.
• Diagnosis: facilitates car maintenance for the driver by receiving alerts of possible breakdowns, in addition to being able to schedule reminders such as the ITV (vehicle inspection) or revisions.
• Location: allows configuring alerts to be informed of vehicle movement, location, or access to travel history. In addition, the driver can navigate to selected or favorite destinations through the browser included in the application.
• Savings: provides the driver, through agreements with third parties, exclusive offers on fuel, workshops, insurance, and more advantages associated with the car and its journeys.

With the Movistar Car service, Telefonica extends its IoT experience --it already connects more than a million vehicles worldwide-- to its service offering for individuals. In this way, any car (gasoline cars manufactured from 2004 onwards and diesel cars from 2005 onwards) can be a connected car, with functionalities that make the driving experience safer, more digital, and more efficient, on par with the latest high-end models.
