Features

Overview: The Firstech Drone X2-MAX lets you add advanced GPS tracking to your vehicle, along with smartphone control of your remote start system (sold separately). The X2-MAX uses an AT&T LTE (GSM) wireless network connection, letting you connect from almost anywhere using your iOS or Android smartphone, smartwatch, tablet, or laptop, via the DroneMobile app (subscription required). The X2-MAX will work in most regions of North America with LTE coverage including U.S.A., Canada, and Mexico, and can be installed in over 95% of current vehicle types, with minimal wiring required.

Remote Start & Security

Connection Options: The Drone X2-MAX offers two modes of operation: Add-On and Standalone.

• Add-On: The included 4-pin data harness lets you connect directly with a variety of aftermarket remote start systems, including Compustar, iDatastart, Arctic Start, NuStart, FTX, and Mid City Engineering, letting you lock/unlock your doors and remote start your vehicle from just about anywhere using your smart device. The DroneMobile app can notify you of an intrusion or other security alert via push notifications. An additional power/ground/CAN harness is provided for the X2-MAX module, providing connections for powering the module from the vehicle electrical system and optional CAN +/- connections, if needed.
• Standalone: The X2-MAX can also be used as a stand-alone device providing advanced GPS functions as well as letting you activate/deactivate door locks, release a trunk lid, etc. through the included OBD II connection harness. The OBD II harness provides the power, ground, and CAN +/- connections for the X2-MAX in Standalone mode.

Security Features: The X2-MAX features built-in sensors that can detect shock, tilt, and glass-breakage, letting you know if your vehicle has been hit, broken into, or is being towed. An integrated lithium-ion backup battery will keep the X2-MAX operating in the event the vehicle battery is disconnected and will send a push notification, via the DroneMobile app, to alert you of the problem. Built-in GPS allows the DroneMobile app to display your vehicle's location if stolen or towed. The app can also alert you if any security features of a connected remote start or alarm system are violated.

GPS Tracking

Built-In GPS: The Drone X2-MAX features built-in LTE and GPS antennas, letting you keep track of one or more vehicles from your smartphone using the DroneMobile App, available for iOS and Android devices (subscription required). Using Apple and Google Map technology, the DroneMobile app can display your vehicle's location. Multiple vehicles can also be monitored for both commercial fleet and family use.

Real-Time Alerts:

• Engine Alerts: A push-notification can be sent to you when your vehicle's engine is turned on or off.
• Points of Interest (POI): Specific addresses (up to 10 per vehicle) can be entered as a Point of Interest. You will receive a notification whenever your vehicle stops at one of the specified addresses.
• Geofences: The DroneMobile app lets you create boundaries (up to 5) around specific areas, and will notify you if your vehicle enters or exits that area.

Driver Monitoring: The Drone X2-MAX can be extremely helpful for families with young drivers. The DroneMobile app's Family Sharing feature lets you add unlimited vehicles and drivers to your account, letting you keep all your family vehicle data in one place and customize alerts according to each member. In addition to Engine Alerts, GPS tracking of all your vehicles, Points of Interest, and Geofencing boundaries, additional Driver Monitoring features include:

• Speeding Alerts: Lets you set a speed limit for your vehicle and will notify you if it exceeds that limit.
• Curfew Alerts: Lets you specify a time when your vehicle should not be in use, and notifies you if it is.

Vehicle Maintenance

OBD Integration: As part of the Drone X2-MAX installation, a connection to the vehicle OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) harness allows the X2-MAX to receive vehicle information that can be monitored and sent to you as a push-notification. A 40" OBD II-to-6-pin harness provides the CAN High (+) and CAN Low (-) connections when using the X2-MAX in Standalone mode. An additional 6-pin harness is provided, with bare-ended wire, that lets you splice the CAN + & - wires directly into the vehicle OBD harness when connecting the X2-MAX to a compatible remote start module in Add-On mode.

• Engine Codes: The X2-MAX's onboard diagnostics can read and determine the services your vehicle needs.
• Maintenance Reminders: Periodic maintenance such as oil changes can be scheduled in the DroneMobile app, notifying you when they are needed.
• Battery Status: Lets you monitor the vehicle's battery voltage and can alert you if low.

Vehicle Health Monitor (Coming in 2025): Future updates for the X2-MAX will let you check DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code), fuel status, tire pressure and more with an OBD II connection.
