Can you use this device with a Hybrid car?

Should be no problem as it hooks to the electrical system and is on when you turn car on or flip the switch to turn it on of you decide to wire it that way.It does make an audible ton that is heard in the car.

Don't know why not. All the headlights etc. in a hybrid are 12 volt so it should wire in. Suggest you have the dealer do the simple install. Our company has many of these and animal hits are way down. It does not drive the deer off. It alerts them to your presence.

I think so. I had my Chevy dealer install it on my new truck. It has a toggle switch that is installed on my dash so I can turn it off and on.

I have one on each Prius and have never had a bit of trouble. The hybrid may need them even more than other cars because it is so quiet.
1526141
yes you can all you are doing is running the hot wire from battery to the ground and toggle switch I have mine mounted beside the steering wheel console and I grounded the ground to a bolt that is near the fuse box check with you mechic first

It just runs off the car battery, so I would have thought so. Assuming a hybrid car still has a normal car battery to start the gas engine.

I don't know. I ended up getting one that I could just put on the bumper without drilling holes in the car. My mechanic didn't recommend this kind.

The car needs to have a battery that you can draw power from consistently. If you can run chargers, you can likely run this. It's connected directly to the battery, so it shouldn't be any issue. Mine is hooked from the battery, with the cord threaded under the hood through the dash area up by the steering wheel, on the farthest left side. I mounted it there, and I got a better switch for mine. In fact, mine can be run even with the car off, because batteries can power things if they are directly tapped in.

yes it can. makes no difference how the car is powered. Electrical is electrical. Not to sound arrogant, but what made you think otherwise?

I never tried it that way. I just use it for a trickle charge on my wife's car if we are gone for a while. Sorry

Yes, but only one at a time. You can't have two people in the car with connections to the device.

Your mileage may vary (sorry, couldn't resist the pun), but most mobiles can support multiple Bluetooth peripherals, e.g. an HID trackpad/keyboard and a headset. Your car is probably paired as a headset device (maybe A2DP for music), this may interfere with the headset connection, but as an HID it should work. The real question is, can you NOT use this device's audio connection while using it as an HID trackpad.

I really do not see a reason why not, as long as you follow instructions for connection, or have a professional do it for you like I did. I love my unit, and my Ipod is in my glove box. Hope I answered your question

No. This device does not work like you will expect it to. It is not worth purchasing.

You can, but the battery would not last long. It is designed to be used while the vehicle is running. I am very pleased with mine, it works great!! A lot of power at a great price!!!

Yes you can. However I am on my third one of these devices. The first two broke under warranty. I cannot recommend this device.

Hey Larry~you sure can, like if you want to use your smartphone's GPS? Works great for that feature. This fits in the "AC vent of your vehicle". Hope this helps in your decision making process ;)

Don't see why not, though I never tried it. I assume your going to stream from your phone to this device--should work in your car.

No, I put in my hybrid car to keep track of the 12 volt battery and it works fine.

Yes, it can what does the vehicle's data connection look like? The green connector is for Toyota am and Lexus, not sure about the European models because I haven't seen thier data link coneector I would only assume!

Nope, But i think it can be conect in the cars output, but you need an adapter

As far as I understand it as long as your vehicle has OBDII then the device will be able to communicate with your cars computer. I believe the question of compatibility comes more into play when you are talking about the software that you are using being able to communicate with the provided protocols. I personally use Dash Commander on my iPhone and it works great. Oh there is a bit of weirdness in setting up the original connection at least there was for me and if you see my actual product review I believe I went over what I had to do. Outside of that i use a default 30 second Auto Reconnect, my OBDII interface type is ELM and I have it set to Auto Detect the data port. Works great!

Yes it can be used in any motor vehicle with or without the USB charger. Power on and connect with mobile device of your choice that supports wi-fi

I am not an expert with this device but I can it see why it won't work with your vehicle. It's cheap enough to try and keep for any other vehicle you may have in future too:-)
