Do I need my cell phone nearby to the tool to use the extra features?

Yes, you will need to connect via Bluetooth to control extra features. However those features are limited, pretty much to controling “soft start on and off” and “LED on time after releasing the trigger”. I’m a gadget guy so bought this Bluetooth add on but this thing is kinda unnecessary option.

Can you elaborate on tool customization?

The module can be quickly installed into a variety of Bosch “connected-ready” tools to provide Bluetooth® connectivity to mobile devices. he connectivity module links to the free Bosch Toolbox mobile app, so users can customize their tools, check tool and battery statuses, receive alerts about a tool issue and more.
