A Bluetooth based vehicular internal monitoring device for preventing or mitigating the likelihood of leaving a living entity behind within an unattended vehicle with an interior exhibiting life threatening environmental conditions. The system leverages ultra-low powered micro sensors, and open source communication systems to convey data acquired by a number of remote monitoring apparatuses and a head unit controller. The system is activated using a remote controller area network device attached to the factory installed controller area network system to detect the presence of a driver or caregiver exiting the vehicle when the living entity is present within the vehicle. Should the driver side door open with the living entity within the vehicle, the head unit controller alarms to notify the driver of such. Integration with vehicle telematic services enables delivery of alerts and information to parents, caregivers, emergency contacts, and emergency responders.
