KēZ Premium features include the following:
Smoke Detection
From lending your car to a friend to on-demand car rental and peer-to-peer car sharing for corporate fleets, KēZ is pioneering smart phone-centric technology to power the revolution in smoke detection.
The KēZ adaptor and app provides a smoke detector and log which can detect smoking within the vehicle and will create a silent history record, and if required a sound alert if smoke is detected. The history log is created to record the time, date and level of smoking within the vehicle which can be downloaded from the KēZ app.
Car valuation experts say that cars can lose as much as $2000 from their resale value if they have been smoked in.
Many rental and car sharing companies charge a penalty for smoking in the car, KēZ will record the state and time of an occurrence and will sound an alarm if required.
Speed Recording
Having KēZ installed allows you to set speed controls on your car with the time and date that speeds were recorded over the speed limit selected. Whether it is to check on your son or daughter, your renter speeding in your car, or your insurance requirements, KēZ will record the information for you.
Security Alarm
The alarm system in most cars are sophisticated but will only alarm if there is an attempted intrusion. The KēZ app has variable adjustment capability and it can be adjusted to the highest level so that if the car is touched the alarm will be activated and the horn will honk. Keeping your vehicle protected at all times.

KēZ is compatible with most passenger vehicles dating back to 1996. Just enter your vehicle information on “Compatible Vehicles” on the Home page to see if your year and model vehicle is compatible. For some new cars, access will be in conjunction with the vehicles’ API or hardwired harness for which instructions will be available on website or KēZ app.
KēZ is protected by 256-bit encryption technology, making it resistant to hacking attempts. It incorporates different layers of digital security features when accessing a vehicle.
