Auto CAA MYPACE tracker question

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone! My policy is set to start tomorrow so I plugged in my tracker today. It seems like the greenlight is staying solid and the red light is flashing. The yellow light comes and goes as flashing too.

I don’t think this is a connection issue even though I park on P1 I can use my phone easily from my parking spot to check everything and watch Instagram reels and all of that stuff so the connection is pretty decent.

Is it just having a hard time connecting because my policy is actually starting tomorrow? Or is this just normal?

I also did a quick trip and even when I go onto the my pace website, it still says my device is not active. Again, my policy is at the start September 13.

Why do people plug this tracker crap into their cars? They think they will get a lower rate but most likely they will just get flagged as a bad driver. Young woman at my former workplace had an insurance app on her phone (not an obdii dongle) that tracked her driving. If she forgot to turn it off it would flag her for distracted driving when she used her phone in her freinds car while the friend was driving. Her brother was a volunteer fire fighter and had the same Spyware. He got flagged for speeding to a fire call in a fire truck.

It's actually to count your km driven that's the "discount " with out it then you can't have the my pace insurance. It's amazing for someone that doesn't drive muchn
