<VV> Was: Radar and front plates. Now: Progressive Snapshot Device.

It was guaranteed savings of 10% per month, or something like that, based on your driving habits.  Monthly, I uploaded the data to the web, and the next month my insurance went down.  It showed average drive time, average speed, jackrabbit starts, panic stops.  We drove the car ~70 miles a day in Minneapolis traffic- I think our biggest savings was around 35%.   It ONLY works on OBD II- or I would have had it on my older Ranger too!  It also reported time of day driving occurred- forgot that one.

The only thing I didnt like - location of the port on the Passat required that a trim piece was removed on the dash, and I had to stare at the little blue box with blinking green light while driving!
