Advantages of the ULF System

Once a phone is paired to the system it will be able to automatically connect

wireless network of the vehicle, the next time it is

introduced into the vehicle and the vehicle ignition is on.

to be integrated into the vehicle.

The phone can remain in a briefcase, purse, glove box, etc.; as long as it is

turned on and located within the interior of the vehicle.
