General Motors plans to offer a new remote control LCD key fob in April that will provide information on tire pressure, fuel level, and odometer reading. The system will also allow owners to pre-set the radio station and confirm the doors are locked.
The device will cost $150 for buyers of various full-size GM SUVs, including the Cadillac Escalade , according to USA Today. “One of the overarching themes people told us they wanted was security and safety,” GM spokesman Tom Henderson says. GM reckons consumers will be able to reassure themselves about their vehicles without leaving the house or checking their vehicle in the parking lot.
