    3. What is an OBD (On Board Diagnostics) port?

      The OBD port is a small port/plug that is located on the inside of your vehicle.

The OBD port is standard in most vehicles manufactured after 1996.


    4. Where is the OBD port located in my vehicle?

      The OBD port is generally located on the inside of the vehicle, on the driver's side, below the dashboard (near the pedals). However, the exact location of the OBD-II port may vary depending on the type of vehicle (Make, model and year of manufacture). Our experienced technicians are able to locate the port based on their vast experience as well as resources available to them.


    5. Can the device be fitted to all cars?

      Yes, fitting of the device is simple and is fully compatible with the majority of vehicles. An option exists where the device can be fitted in the engine compartment.

    7. Does the telematics device affect the functionality of my car?

      No, the telematics device does not affect the car’s performance, electrical components or the systems. It is simply plugged on a pre-existing OBD port.


    8. Can the telematics device interfere with my vehicles on-board electronics?

      No, the telematics device is designed to plug into the vehicles OBD port which is in the interior of the vehicle, and is designed to only use minimal voltage and read information from the vehicle. It is not designed to "push" or "write" information to the OBD port and therefore will not cause any interference with the vehicles on-board electronics.


    9. Will the telematics device drain my vehicle's battery?

      No, the telematics device should not drain your vehicle’s battery. The device has been designed to use minimal voltage from the battery and therefore does not drain enough power to prevent you from being able to start your vehicle.


    10. When is the device installed?

      The device can be installed immediately the full insurance premium is paid or at the customer’s convenience provided all conditions are met.


    11. My telematics device has been damaged and/or is not working correctly, what do I do?

    12. Can I transfer the telematics device from one vehicle to another vehicle that is also insured under this policy?

      No, you should not transfer the telematics device from one vehicle to the other.

If the device is removed from the vehicle, a device removal notification will be generated and Heritage Insurance will contact you for re-installation.


    13. My Telematics device has been lost or misplaced, what do I do?

      Please notify Heritage Insurance call centre on 0711 076 444 immediately for assistance and further guidance


    14. What if I change my car or cancel the policy?

      If you are changing vehicles but would like to retain Auto Correct insurance, it is possible to install a new telematics device on your new vehicle so that you do not lose your benefits such as driving data, scores and accumulated loyalty points


    15. Why did I receive a device removal notification even though I did not remove the telematics device?

      Please follow the below steps to resolve the matter:


      • Go to your vehicle and confirm the device is still firmly installed in the port
      • If the device is still firmly installed, confirm that your vehicle's battery has not gone flat (if the battery is flat, the device will generate a device removal event as it is no longer being supplied with voltage and therefore assumes it has been disconnected).
      • If there is no issue with your vehicle's battery (i.e. you are currently able to start the vehicle), the device is firmly connected and the issue still persists after the above steps, please contact the Heritage Insurance call centre on 0711 076 444 and a representative will assist you.

    16. What is the process to be followed, when I take my vehicle in for service/repairs?

    17. Can I be insured before the device is installed?

      Yes you’re insured from the date and time you specify you want the policy to start from, even if you haven’t had the device fitted.


    18. If I was involved in an accident and the device was damaged, would I have to pay for another device?

      The device is fitted out of sight so it’s unlikely that it would be damaged in an accident. However, if the device was damaged then the cost would be covered by the insurance as a part of the repair cost so that you can continue to enjoy your Auto correct insurance policy.

    4. How long does it take to see my scores after installation?

      When the telematics device is installed for the first time, the system does need some time (approx. 48 hours after installation) to calculate your initial score.

If you are still experiencing issues with not seeing a score on the Insurance Portal or Mobile Application (after the initial 48 hours) then contact Heritage Insurance call centre on 0711 076 444.


    5. What happens when I drive in an area with poor network connections?

      WThe telematics device installed in your vehicle sends all driving data via the GSM network. If the vehicle enters an area that has poor GSM signal (for example, underground parking), the telematics device is sometimes not able to send the driving data until the vehicle is driven again and exits the area with poor GSM coverage. The telematics device is designed to keep a record of these trips and location data and will send this data as soon as the vehicle has driven into an area with a good GSM signal.

      These trips and updated location data will show on the mobile application and insurance portal soon after the data has been sent. If you are still experiencing issues with data not updating on the Portal or Mobile Application for some time (even though the vehicle is being driven regularly) then please contact Heritage Insurance call centre on 0711 076 444 and a representative will assist you.

How to use the Auto Correct portal



  1. Can I share my driving feedback with someone else?

    Yes, you can share your driving feedback with anyone after getting the information from your mobile application or after logging in at the portal..


  2. I have forgotten my password for the Insurance Portal or Mobile Application, what do I do?

    If you have forgotten your password for the Mobile Application/Insurance Portal you can reset your password. Log into the Insurance Portal and click on the "Forgot Password" button by the log in screen. You will then be taken to the “forgot password” page.

    Simply insert your username and click "Reset" - A reset code will then be sent through to you by email and SMS. Login back into the Insurance Portal, click on tab "Reset password with code" and fill in the necessary details and reset your password..


  3. What do I do if I have forgotten my username & password for the Insurance Portal and the Mobile App?

    If you have forgotten you username and password, please make contact with Heritage Insurance call centre on 0711 076 444 and a representative will assist you.


  4. How long does it take to see my scores after installation?

    When the telematics device is installed for the first time, the system does need some time (approx. 48 hours after installation) to calculate your initial score. Thereafter, your score is adjusted and re-calculated once a day, every day. If you are still experiencing issues with not seeing a score on the Insurance Portal or Mobile Application (after the initial 48 hours) then contact Heritage Insurance call centre on 0711 076 444.


  5. What happens when I drive in an area with poor network connections?

    WThe telematics device installed in your vehicle sends all driving data via the GSM network. If the vehicle enters an area that has poor GSM signal (for example, underground parking), the telematics device is sometimes not able to send the driving data until the vehicle is driven again and exits the area with poor GSM coverage. The telematics device is designed to keep a record of these trips and location data and will send this data as soon as the vehicle has driven into an area with a good GSM signal.

    These trips and updated location data will show on the mobile application and insurance portal soon after the data has been sent. If you are still experiencing issues with data not updating on the Portal or Mobile Application for some time (even though the vehicle is being driven regularly) then please contact Heritage Insurance call centre on 0711 076 444 and a representative will assist you.
