card that was provided to you by your Rogers rep.

been activated before moving to Step 5.

Every Rogers Smart Drive device has a unique 15
digit code called the IMEI. The IMEI is shown as a
barcode on a sticker on your device and also on
the included Wi-Fi Hotspot Card.
When prompted, use the Rogers Smart Drive app
to scan the IMEI barcode. You can also enter the
IMEI code manually.

Locate your OBD-II port
The OBD-II port is usually located underneath the
driver’s side dashboard, often within 18 inches of
the steering wheel.
If you are having trouble locating the OBD-II port,
the Rogers Smart Drive app will help you nd it.
Step 6
TIP: Tap the ashlight icon in the Rogers
Smart Drive app to turn on your smartphone’s
ashlight when searching for your OBD-II port.

Install your device
Now that you’ve found your OBD-II port, you are
ready to install the Rogers Smart Drive device.
Align the device with your port and rmly plug it
in. The device should t snugly.
Step 7
TIP: Never install your device in an
underground parking lot or in an area of
weak cellular coverage.

Go for a drive
Go for a 10 minute drive to nish setting up
your device. The device needs to establish a
cellular connection and generate a GPS lock.
The Rogers Smart Drive app will notify you once a
successful connection is established.
Distracted driving is never OK.
Do not use your phone while driving.
Step 8
TIP: Do not unplug the device within the
rst 24 hours after installation.
