DRONE Mobile

DroneMobile is the app, and DRONE is the hardware that connects your vehicle to it over 4G LTE. Add the X2-LTE to a compatible remote starter and you can start, lock and check on your vehicle from anywhere in Canada and the USA. The XC2 dash camera puts live video and cloud backup in the same app, and the XT-LTE tracks anything you can stick a magnet to. Every DRONE device needs a DroneMobile plan to work over LTE, and we show you what that costs before you buy.

What the plans cost

Every DRONE device talks to the app over LTE, like a phone, so it needs a plan once the trial ends. Here's what that looks like.

Billed in Canadian dollars

X2-LTE phone control

Basic, $59.88 a year: remote start and shutdown, lock, unlock, trunk, vehicle status and security alerts. No GPS.

Premium, $119.88 a year: everything in Basic, plus GPS tracking, speed and curfew alerts, geofences and maintenance reminders. It's the plan most owners want.

Both are billed in Canadian dollars. The higher Premium Plus and Ultimate tiers are billed in US dollars.

Billed in US dollars

XC2 dash camera

The XC2 records to its memory card and streams over Wi-Fi with no plan at all. LTE live view, automatic cloud upload, GPS tracking and remote control need DroneMobile's Dash Cam plan.

DroneMobile lists it at US$15.99 a month, US$14.99 a month on one year, or US$13.99 a month on three years, billed in US dollars.

Installed or shipped

Have us install it at our Markham shop, or order it shipped and install it yourself.

Common questions

Do I need a plan?

To use it over LTE, yes. The X2-LTE and XC2 come with a free 30-day trial. After that, the X2-LTE needs a Basic or Premium plan, and the XC2 needs the Dash Cam plan for live view, cloud upload and tracking. The XC2 still records to its memory card without one.

Will the X2-LTE work with my remote starter?

It works with Compustar, iDatastart, Polarstart, Arctic Start, FTX and NuStart systems. For a Fortin EVO system, we use the EVO-START LTE instead. Not sure what you have? Send us a photo of the module.

Does it include GPS tracking?

On the X2-LTE, GPS needs the Premium plan at $119.88 a year. The XC2's Dash Cam plan includes GPS tracking. The XT-LTE is a GPS tracker first.

Where does it work?

The X2-LTE works anywhere with cell coverage in Canada and the USA.

How does it compare with other phone controllers?

The X2-LTE has the lowest price up front and works with the widest range of remote starter brands. Others include service for life or GPS from day one. See our smartphone controllers page for what each costs over ten years.
