How to Install Otoplug in your car

Otoplug is the device that lets guests lock and unlock your car through the Drive mate app. Installing it provides a smooth, keyless pickup and return experience for your bookings.
​

Hosts who want to offer keyless access to their vehicles.
​

The cost of installing an Otoplug depends on whether a spare key or remote is available for the vehicle.

If the host can provide DriveMate with a working spare remote that we can use for the installation, the installation cost is only $195.

If a spare key is not available, DriveMate can assist in arranging a replacement key, depending on the vehicle model. In this case, the total cost, including the replacement key and Otoplug installation, is $400.

To make things easy, installation costs are only charged after the installation has been successfully completed.

1. Check your car’s eligibility – Your car must have a standard OBD2 port.

2. Choose your payment option – Upfront or instalments.

3. Prepare your car – The technician will need access to the vehicle during installation.
​

1. Book your installation
After you confirm your payment option, our Support team will contact you to arrange a convenient time and location.
​

2. Professional installation
A certified technician installs Otoplug discreetly in your car. Installation usually takes about one hour and does not require permanent changes.
​

3. Testing and activation
The technician tests the connection with the Drive mate app. Once active, you can manage guest access (lock and unlock) directly from the app.
