    ooida tells me there are no options to purchase an aobrd now and you can only purchase an eld.
    Anyone have any thoughts?

    find here at this forum Gorilla Safety and ask him. I think you still can purchase it. I have purchased Gorilla Safety AOBRD on November 1 but have not received the device . The account is setup now and I have ability to change the speed threshold up to 25mph when drive recording will start.

    Thank you,
    I will contact them.
    Here's what happened to me.
    I purchased a vdo aobrd brand new the end of August.
    I went to install it and activate it this week only for vdo to tell me they no longer support the aobrd device and I needed to send it all in and they would replace it with an eld.
    So here I sit thinking I was ahead of the game and now I'm back to square one.

    Looking for an aobrd not an Eld.
    Aobrd are grandfathered for two years and are not required to be certified by fmcsa.

    Ok,All you Techy people............
    What should a guy like me do?.........

    Im NOT computer or electronic savvy at all, I finally got a smartphone this year,But If I have issues or need downloads or whatever,My Wife does it.

    If I Choose to follow suit of this stupid ELD mandate, Where /What should I start.

    I have a 2001 truck- I DO NOT have a Plug in Port or wire harness- (Removed it a long time ago)

    I Need a Device That doesn't require Plug Ins AND Must be easy for us Non Tech people to use

    Is There a Phone application I can Download so I have ELD/Aobrd on my smartphone??

    Again,This is if I even Choose to become ELD compliant-

    Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance
