Fitting your ingenie box

how ingenie boxes are fitted

We’ve made getting set up with your ingenie box really simple

An ingenie box is part of your insurance with us, so you can get to the good bit – earning discounts at renewal! Depending on the make or model of your car, we’ll either send you a self-fit OBD box or a self-fit 12v.

Whichever box you need, you can start driving right away from your insurance start date.

Self-fit OBD box

Once you’ve bought your insurance we’ll send a self-fit OBD box to you in the post, which will need to be fitted within 10 days. The box will need to be plugged into the OBD port in your car – which sounds way more technical than it actually is!

Just follow these 3 easy steps to get plugged in.

1. Turn the ignition off

3. Plug your self-fit box into your OBD port by pressing firmly until the box is securely in place

You’ll get an email to let you know if this was successful and whether we’re receiving data from the box correctly. This may take up to 24 hours – so don’t worry if it doesn’t come through straight away.

If you’ve got a question or you need help plugging in your box just check out our help page.

What happens after you insure with ingenie

You can drive right away, (without your ingenie box) and we’ll either email you within 48 hours to set up your box fitting appointment or send your self-fit box to you in the post.

You’ll get another email from us with a link to set up your driver feedback account. That’s where you’ll be able to see how you’re getting on with your driving.

Once you’ve driven over 40 miles with your ingenie box, you’ll start getting driving feedback – a new set of messages and a driving score every 10 days.
