What is the Challenger feature?
All the challenges are oriented to basic
drive-efficiency, not racing. They are not
exhaustive and they are not optimized for
each engine model, they are quite general.
The user, as the Disclaimer app says, is
responsible to respect the traffic restrictions.
When possible, the app adapts to the
car capabilities. For instance in a DSG
car, the challenger related to gear-shift
will not start until the gear mode is changed
to sequential.
Out car mode: Is this the same app?
Yes, it is the same app that adapts to
in-car (vehicle’s infotainment touchscreen
display and out-car modes (smartphone
device screen).
Out Car mode: what is the My track feature?
In this section user can review the tracks
that have been recorded while driving.
This section is expected to be improved
dramatically in the next version (including
maps and tracks comparison). Which cars are compatible with the app?
App requires second generation of
Infotainment systems with the FullLink
package configured.
Systems compatible are: Media System
Plus, Navi System and Navi System Plus.
The models compatible are Ibiza, Leon,
Toledo and Alhambra.
Which mobile devices are compatible
with the app?
MirrorLink is an OS agnostic technology
Currently, only some Android Phones that
include an implementation of the
MirrorLink 1.1 (this implementation
depends on the Device Maker,
not Google).
What happens if your device loses
its coverage? What features don’t work
without coverage?
POI search, Weather, Read to me, will
not be available without connectivity.
User configuration and status (Challenger)
will not refresh in the backend until
connectivity is recovered, however these
features will be fully functional for the user. What happens in Roaming mode?
Like any other app, data transfer in roaming
scenarios will be enabled if the user has
allowed it in the phone settings. This topic
does not depend on the app itself.
Who provides the Weather information?
OpenWeatherMap Warning quota usage
limits: 3.000 requests per minute.
Who provides the POI information?
Foursquare Warning quota usage limits:
5.000 requests per hour (a typical POI
search performs 5 – 10 requests, but
the Backend implements mechanism
to optimize this usage).
