The RS-1000 TEEN BLACK BOX™ monitors vehicle speed and excessive g-force maneuvers caused by hard cornering, hard braking, erratic driving and “pedal-to-the-metal” throttle use.

Once the RS-1000 is properly installed, any time the vehicle is being driven in an unsafe manner, such as driving at high speeds, hard braking, hard cornering, etc., the RS-1000 gives the driver an audible warning alert.

If the driver ignores the warning and fails to take corrective action, a steady alarm tone will then sound until the unsafe condition is stopped. All unsafe driving is recorded in the driver scoring reports available for review when the RS-1000 data is downloaded to a PC computer.

1996 and Newer Vehicles
The RS-1000 TEEN BLACK BOX™ is installed by simply plugging the supplied cable into the OBD-II Data Link Connector.  The Data Link Connector (DLC) is factory installed on all 1996 and newer vehicles sold in the United States and Canada.  The connector is generally located under the dash near the steering wheel.  To determine the location of the DLC connector in your vehicle, please CLICK HERE.

The RS-1000 includes everything you need to install the system in your 1996 or newer vehicle, however some vehicles do not fully implement the signals necessary for the RS-1000 to function properly.  This may be the result of a faulty vehicle system or sensor, or a non-compliant vehicle OBD-II protocol. Please check the list below to see if you have a known non-compliant vehicle before you purchase the RS-1000:

1.   Electric Vehicles - Hybrid Vehicles

These vehicles generally are not supported and may not implement OBD-II protocols.

2.   1997 Ford Explorer, Ranger & Mazda Vehicles

Some 1997 Ford Explorers and Rangers with Mazda 4.0L engines and 1997 Mazdas with 4.0L engines do not report vehicle speed in the OBD-II protocol.  The RS-1000 will show all data and run information normally but will not display speed information in the graphs or reports.

3.   1996 Mercedes Benz "C" Class

Plugging any device into the OBD-II Data Link Connector may cause the vehicle to enter the diagnostic mode and illuminate the "Check Engine" light.

4.   2003 Dodge Quad Cab

Some 2003 Dodge Quad Cab models do not report vehicle speed in the OBD-II protocol. The RS-1000 will show all data and run information normally but will not display speed information in the graphs or reports.

5.   2004 Dodge Intrepid

Some 2004 Dodge Intrepid models do not report vehicle speed in the OBD-II protocol. The RS-1000 will show all data and run information normally but will not display speed information in the graphs or reports.

6.   2004-2005 Volkswagen Jetta

Some 2004-2005 Jetta models do not report vehicle speed in the OBD-II protocol. The RS-1000 will show all data and run information normally but will not display speed information in the graphs or reports.

Should you experience problems or have any concerns about installing the RS-1000 in your 1996 or newer vehicle, please contact our technical support group toll-free at 1-800-252-2594 or via email to support@roadsafety.com.

1995 and Older Vehicles
For 1995 and older vehicles you will need to order the RS-1011 Vehicle Direct Connect Harness available for purchase online. In this case the RS-1000 will need to be "hard-wired" to the vehicle using the RS-1011 harness. Installations of this type must be performed by a qualified automotive technician and, as a result, can be quite expensive.

Road Safety™ does not provide technical support, documentation or answer any technical questions for "hard-wire" installations. The only documentation provided with the "hard-wire" harness is the function and color of each wire in the harness. It is up to a qualified automotive technician to determine the proper vehicle installation and connection point for each wire. Road Safety™ assumes no responsibility for incorrect "hard-wire" installations. For additional information regarding non-OBD-II compatibility, contact Road Safety™ at 805-498-9444.

Vehicles manufactured for sale outside of the United States and Canada
Vehicles manufactured for sale outside of the United States and Canada may or may not have a compatible DLC connector. The RS-1000 may or may not work with these vehicles.  Please verify that your vehicle is compatible with the OBD-II standard. We do not provide refunds on units purchased for shipment outside of the United States. Alternatively, the RS-1000 can be “hard-wired” to the vehicle using the optional Direct Connect Harness.  This installation should only be performed by a qualified automotive technician and can be both expensive and time consuming.  Road Safety™ does not provide technical support for hard-wire installations.
