PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Overview

Fyndr Alert will automatically send out an emergency SOS status alert with your geographic location to your emergency contacts in an event of a collision or when you manually activate the Alert button.

Provides priceless peace of mind the instant you plug it in.

Key Features

Automatically alert your contacts in an emergency or crash
Designed with your safety in mind, Fyndr Alert has a built in G-Sensor for automatic impact detection and when paired to the Fyndr Alert App provides GPS functionality via your smartphone.Fyndr Alert helps keep your emergency contacts at easy reach by instantly alerting them when you or your vehicle are in need.

The Alert Button
Helping to protect you from personal harm, the alert button is here for peace of mind in an emergency situation. Easily accessible, activating the alert button will instantly notify all your preloaded contacts of your SOS status with a GPS location map to their phone and email.

Convenient Control
Activating the alert button triggers a 30-second alarm, during which, pressing the SAFE button in the app can deactivate the emergency SOS alert. It will then notify your contacts of your updated safe status.

Automatic SOS Alert
Using the same type of sensor that triggers vehicle airbags, Fyndr Alert feels the impact of a crash* and sends an SOS status alert with a GPS map of your location straight to your emergency contacts’ phone or email.

Audio Recording
For alerts that are not disabled within 5 minutes, an audio recording will be sent to your preselected emergency contacts to let them know what’s going on.

Adjustable Sensitivity Settings
Fyndr Alert’s inbuilt G-Sensor can be adjusted to suit the type of vehicle it is fitted into. Via the Fyndr Alert app, users can adjust sensitivity from HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW. This allows the Fyndr Alert to be used in all cars from compact cars, SUV’s and Trucks.

Emergency Location Tracking
SOS statuses that are manually activated through the alert button or automatically triggered when significant impact has been detected will let your emergency contacts know of your geographic location on a map via SMS and email. Your location information updates every 2-3 minutes using the GPS of the smartphone paired to your Fyndr Alert.

Power When You Need It Most
If power is disrupted to your vehicle during an accident, you can rest assured that Fyndr Alert will be there for you. With Fyndr Alert’s emergency power supply, the Alert button, automatic SOS alert system and emergency GPS locator will continue to work for a further 3 minutes.

Rapid charging with Qualcomm® Quick Charge™ 3.0

    Don't your latest smartphone and watch already do that ?
    How does it even connect to your phone - bluetooth ?

    Did not find good review regarding that.

    • michael9865 on 19/01/2023 - 11:46

      I can hardly find any reviews, are you able to share if you find an actual review of it, as I was about to use my precious $10 voucher on this

  • andresampras on 19/01/2023 - 11:43

    Not sure about the USB charging capabilities, but the headline feature looks naff

      Its just a cheap QC3.0 cig socket charger, ignore the silly crash feature.

  • dcep on 19/01/2023 - 11:45

    This thing is just a charger + g-sensor.

    The rest is via phone app / phone gps.

    At $4 it is cheap for a QC3.0 charger.

    Iff this can find your car in a loaded car park then this is great, but unsure if it can

      Yeah that was my first thought too when I saw the description.

    • INFIDEL on 19/01/2023 - 12:07

      Only if its been in a major collision in the car park - to set off the the emergency signal, has access to your phone to send the messages with location, all assuming power is on to the device in your car…
      No!

      • andresampras on 19/01/2023 - 12:12

        I wonder if Apple Airtags can be used for finding cars in crowded carparks…

        • [Deactivated] on 19/01/2023 - 12:52

          Yes. And remove speaker from Airtag, it beeps annoyingly sometimes.

  • Bujji11 on 19/01/2023 - 11:48

    Not sure if the one jb is selling is a simple car charger as the RRP on jb is $5 now down to $4

  • easternculture on 19/01/2023 - 11:58

    I got 2 of these will last round of perks.
    Nice charger

    Got 2 last time.
    It’s great, but when I didn’t set it up on the app is just beeps when i shut the car off for a bit.
    Don’t want to use the rubbish app because it barely works

    This requires your phone to be paired to it, with an app, that does all the notifications for you. You can literally get an app on your phone that does the same thing.

    That said, if you have no qualms about an unknown app/dev tracking your location at all times, go hard.

    By the way, one of the first things a modern vehicle does in a major collision is cut power to all accessories/most circuits. Making this functionally useless.

      By the way, "will continue to work for a further 3 minutes" after loss of power

      • [Deactivated] on 19/01/2023 - 14:30

        Fair enough :D

  • JJJ on 19/01/2023 - 12:58

    Am yet to use it so just google literacy only .
    It says - Power When You Need It Most
    If power is disrupted to your vehicle during an accident, you can rest assured that Fyndr Alert will be there for you. With Fyndr Alert’s emergency power supply, the Alert button, automatic SOS alert system and emergency GPS locator will continue to work for a further 3 minutes.

    built in G-Sensor for automatic impact detection and when paired to the Fyndr Alert App provides GPS functionality via your smartphone

    G-sensor. I have always wanted to find one. I wonder if it works with my tindr app. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  • boxall on 19/01/2023 - 17:39

    Bought 2 with Perks. Why? Not sure.

    • CandyMan on 23/01/2023 - 12:33

      To be sure to be sure

  • Mirage on 19/01/2023 - 20:55

    o i c… i just checked their Fyndr Alert IOS App and it has in app purchases (15 sms for $2.99, 100SMS for $14.99 etc) to allow the emergency sms function to work. The App havent updated in 4 years and no details are provided about App Privacy…. not good..

    • jayboi on 20/01/2023 - 10:57

      If you connect it to the app and not buy anything would it stop beeping when you turn off the car?

  • Zippy7 on 19/01/2023 - 21:09

    Bought 2 with my perks today. Apparently perks credit cannot be used to pay for the 15cent plastic bag…!
