RoadGuard is OEM-agnostic.
Reliable. Durable
Stainless steel base, paired with a standard M12
connector, ensures quick, reliable power integration.
Smaller. Lighter. Smarter.
From box to live data in 60 minutes. The RoadGuard stands at just 9 cm tall and 5.7 cm wide, making it easier than ever to install on any vehicle.
