AutoTap® OBDII Streamer V1.0 Revolutionizes Fleet Management

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ottawa, IL - September 15, 2006 - B&B Electronics today announced that the AutoTap OBDII Streamer is now available for all OBDII vehicles. "The OBDII Streamer allows telematics and fleet management applications to easily integrate OBDII data with minimal knowledge of the vehicle or the many different OBDII protocols," said Don Wiencek, President of B&B Electronics. "Customers have been asking for a simple product that offers access to more than just the basic, emissions-related OBDII parameters found in many scan tools. We've capitalized on a decade of experience providing vehicle interface devices to OEMs and fleets. The knowledge we've gained with our AutoTap OBDII Scan Tool gives us the ability to deliver an in-vehicle solution that dramatically simplifies access to OBDII data like odometer and fuel, and driver behavior parameters like cruise control and seat belt status."

The AutoTap Streamer enables fleet management companies and application service providers to cost effectively build driver behavior, remote diagnostics, and preventative maintenance applications into their offerings. By using a simple interface, companies have the flexibility to program the AutoTap OBDII Streamer to retrieve values for up to 20 parameters and specify if the parameters are communicated in real-time, on a timed basis, when a threshold is exceeded, or as requested.

Based on extensive trials with leading North American telematics companies, the AutoTap OBDII Streamer will dramatically

• Reduce fuel expenses
• Improve driver productivity
• Reduce maintenance expense
• Improve asset utilization

The AutoTap OBDII Streamer supports all OBDII protocols including:

• J1850 VPW
• J1850 PWM
• ISO9141-2
• KWP2000
• Chrysler SCI
• J2284 (CAN)
• Low Speed GMLAN

B&B will be sponsoring a workshop entitled Harnessing the Secrets of OBDII, J1708/J1939 to Capture Real World ROI at the Telematics Update tradeshow in Chicago on November 16 –17.
