What We Found<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our first drive after installing the device via the OBD2 (on-board diagnostics) port in our 2013 Honda Accord was around 12 minutes. Once it\u2019s installed, you\u2019ll need to drive around for at least 10 minutes for the device to connect and calibrate. After the first drive following the installation, you\u2019ll begin getting live info and stats about your trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible Signal Loss <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We tested Bouncie in San Diego, California (screenshots below), so we cannot say how it would work in a rural area where cell service might be limited. In total, we drove 200 miles over 24 separate trips with no issues or signal loss for this review. If you are considering Bouncie, we don&#8217;t anticipate you would have any connectivity issues if you live in a populated area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the device loses its signal while driving, it will still track the total miles, but the live updates may be delayed. Bouncie also overlays your driving speed on the app, so a temporary signal loss could cause some missing speed data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the planned phase-out of 3G cellular networks, older Bouncie GPS vehicle trackers will stop working and require a replacement with a 4G unit. The monthly data subscription does not change with a 4G Bouncie device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customer Reviews <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bouncie has a solid&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustpilot.com\/review\/www.bouncie.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rating on TrustPilot<\/a>&nbsp;with hundreds of good customer reviews, in addition to positive reviews on Amazon. Overall, our experience matched the other positive customer reviews we read. We liked seeing our car&#8217;s location and trip details like speed, driving habits, and accident notifications if an emergency had happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits for Parents &amp; Business Owners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents who install Bouncie in their teenagers&#8217; cars may find it gives them additional peace of mind, especially if they are on the road later at night. Business owners can leverage the data recorded by Bouncie to help them better manage their fleet of vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this review, we will share more about our firsthand experience with Bouncie and cover the features in detail for parents and business owners alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1

a &#8220;Chat With Bouncie&#8221; icon you can click to connect to a support chat through the app. As for the ODB2 port, they are typically near the driver-side door panel, underneath the steering wheel, but check your owner&#8217;s manual if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex

features and settings you can adjust. Here is a list of each feature, with a brief description of how they work. We will start with the list of features for parents, then cover the features for business owners and personal use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features for Parents: Live Location <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The unit detects your teen&#8217;s location and uses accelerometers to track speed continuously. When your teen hits the road, you will have up-to-date info every 15 seconds. The app will show you an overlay on Google Maps of the car&#8217;s location, when the trip started, and how fast your kids are moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features for Parents: Geo Zones <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bouncie allows parents to establish a circular geo zone, sending a notification when the car equipped with Bouncie enters or leaves that zone. This is helpful if you want to avoid your kids going to a particular area or you want to know when they get to their destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can make the circle as large or as small as necessary. For example, you can create a smaller geo zone around your immediate area if you want your kids to stay close or around a specific house or address so you know when they arrive safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Live-Location.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1297\" data-id=\"163552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Live-Location.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-163552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Live-Location.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Live-Location-173x300.jpg 173w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Live-Location-592x1024.jpg 592w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Live-Location-500x865.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Live-Location-293x507.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Geo-Zone.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1297\" data-id=\"163555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Geo-Zone.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-163555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Geo-Zone.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Geo-Zone-173x300.jpg 173w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Geo-Zone-592x1024.jpg 592w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Geo-Zone-500x865.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Geo-Zone-293x507.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features for Parents: Accident &amp; Safety Notifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We didn\u2019t test how well this works for obvious reasons! However, the Bouncie device can detect an impact or a sudden decrease in speed and send a notification. You will receive a notification and have the option to call 911. If an accident is detected, you can add a setting that sends a text message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help prevent an accident, Bouncie allows parents to monitor how their teens are driving. In the settings menu on the app, you can adjust the sensitivity of things like hard braking and rapid acceleration while also setting speed notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We adjusted the sensitivity settings from low to high during our test drives around San Diego. With high sensitivity, we received notifications for hard braking and rapid acceleration of over eight mph per second. Low sensitivity notified us of incidents over 14 mph per second. During normal driving conditions, we didn\u2019t get any notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Rapid-Acceleration-Screenshot.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"744\" height=\"1287\" data-id=\"163556\" src=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Rapid-Acceleration-Screenshot.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-163556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Rapid-Acceleration-Screenshot.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Rapid-Acceleration-Screenshot-173x300.jpg 173w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Rapid-Acceleration-Screenshot-592x1024.jpg 592w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Rapid-Acceleration-Screenshot-500x865.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Rapid-Acceleration-Screenshot-293x507.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Settings.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1305\" data-id=\"163557\" src=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Settings.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-163557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Settings.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Settings-172x300.jpg 172w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Settings-589x1024.jpg 589w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Settings-500x870.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Settings-293x510.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features for Parents: Roadside Assistance <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For parents of younger drivers, the Bouncie app will provide details of each incident and where it happened once the trip is completed. You can also set a curfew and get a notification if your teen&#8217;s car is being driven after your set hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event of an emergency, Bouncie can send roadside assistance, and the cost is included in your subscription. If your teenage driver runs out of gas, needs a jump start, or has a flat tire, Bouncie can make use of a network of roadside assistance providers. Bouncie&#8217;s roadside assistance plan is available to use three times in any 12-month period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I Tell My Kids We&#8217;re Using Bouncie? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re unsure of how to talk to your children about why you\u2019re going to use Bouncie, they wrote <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" data-lasso-id=\"25189\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/help.bouncie.com\/en\/articles\/1130573-parent-s-guide-to-introducing-bouncie-to-your-teenage-driver\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this helpful article<\/a> on the topic. If you don\u2019t tell your kids about the device, it\u2019s unlikely that they\u2019ll notice it. However, it\u2019s best to communicate the benefits and tell them you\u2019re using it for their safety, not because you don\u2019t trust them.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"three_ships_widget-wrapper single_provider_widget\" id=\"single_provider_widget-block_bc9579bf58b2a3355309a1bbf4cc5512\">\n    <div class=\"three_ships_widget-table middle\">\n        <div class=\"table-body\">\n            <div class=\"table-column\">\n                                <div class=\"logo\">\n                    <a data-segment-action=\"click\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/47K88vj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored nofollow\">                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Box.jpg\" alt=\"Bouncie Box\">\n                    <\/a>                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"table-column\">\n                                <div class=\"btn-group\">\n                                        <a data-segment-action=\"click\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/47K88vj\" class=\"btn btn-primary full\" rel=\"noopener sponsored nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Get Best Price<\/a>\n\t                                                <span class=\"sp-btn-disclaimer\"><p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As an Amazon Associate, Automoblog earns from qualifying purchases.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/span>\n\t                                                        <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"summary-text\"><p>Bouncie is a GPS vehicle tracking device designed to help you stay safe and aware.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSafety and convenience features are helpful for parents and business owners.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n No contract or activation fees.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nLive customer service chat available. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features for Businesses &amp; Fleet Operators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bouncie can be utilized by businesses with delivery drivers, rideshare drivers, or other employees who frequently travel for work. Business owners and fleet operators can collect valuable data from Bouncie to track productivity and expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Historical Stats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bouncie tracks and collects data that can be exported into a spreadsheet for later review. You can view the total driving time, miles driven, and idle time for any vehicle for any date range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Average Trip Data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, Bouncie will record how many trips a specific vehicle in the field has taken, the average length of those trips, and how much fuel is required for each one. You can track the exact cost per trip and track each vehicle and driver\u2019s productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features for Personal Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you\u2019re not using Bouncie for a business or to monitor young drivers, it has other helpful benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Max Driving Distance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can set a mileage alert for up to 500 miles with the Bouncie GPS vehicle tracker. This is excellent if you are currently leasing your car. For example, if your lease is set for 12,000 miles per year, you can set an alert for 230 miles \u2013 the weekly limit for 12,000 miles per year. The alert can help you avoid exceeding the mileage limit before your lease ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Care Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Care Plan helps you create reminders for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/how-to-keep-an-older-car-running\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">regular maintenance and upkeep<\/a>. You can set a reminder at certain mileage intervals or a specific date to receive notifications accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This helps when you want a reminder about changing your oil, replacing your windshield wipers, or other things like renewing your registration. Bouncie will also monitor your battery and alert you if a check engine light comes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connect to Smart Devices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can connect the device to Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and IFTTT (If This, Then That). For fun, we told Alexa, \u201cAsk Bouncie if I need gas.\u201d Alexa answered, \u201cThe Honda has 70 percent gas left.\u201d We also asked where our car was, and Alexa gave us the address where we parked.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"three_ships_widget-wrapper single_provider_widget\" id=\"single_provider_widget-block_bc9579bf58b2a3355309a1bbf4cc5512\">\n    <div class=\"three_ships_widget-table middle\">\n        <div class=\"table-body\">\n            <div class=\"table-column\">\n                                <div class=\"logo\">\n                    <a data-segment-action=\"click\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/47K88vj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored nofollow\">                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bouncie-Box.jpg\" alt=\"Bouncie Box\">\n                    <\/a>                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"table-column\">\n                                <div class=\"btn-group\">\n                                        <a data-segment-action=\"click\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/47K88vj\" class=\"btn btn-primary full\" rel=\"noopener sponsored nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Get Best Price<\/a>\n\t                                                <span class=\"sp-btn-disclaimer\"><p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As an Amazon Associate, Automoblog earns from qualifying purchases.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/span>\n\t                                                        <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"summary-text\"><p>Bouncie is a GPS vehicle tracking device designed to help you stay safe and aware.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSafety and convenience features are helpful for parents and business owners.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n No contract or activation fees.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nLive customer service chat available. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does Bouncie Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not counting any deals or promotions, there\u2019s a one-time payment of $90 for the Bouncie device on Amazon and a $9 monthly subscription. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few other popular options for GPS vehicle trackers.
