Plug-in GPS Tracker

Plug-in GPS fleet trackers are devices that are very easy to install and remove, while hardwired GPS fleet trackers are more permanently integrated into the vehicle's electrical system. Anyone can install a plug-in GPS tracker, it’s like charging a cellphone. Low Voltage experience or a professional mechanic is required to install hardwired GPS trackers, and they are difficult to remove.

To install your Plug-in tracker, simply locate the OBD-II port in your vehicle and plug it in with the device in the proper orientation:

On-board diagnostics (OBD-II) ports are standard in all passenger & light commercial vehicles built after 1996. Additionally, most medium duty trucks have them as well.

While heavy-duty trucks and semis tend not to have OBD-II ports, we have adapters for all vehicle types (J1939 Type I & II, J1708, OBDII HD, RP1226, etc) so no matter your needs we can build a solution that works for your fleet.

To locate the OBD-II port in your vehicle look in one of these common places:

To hide the plug-in tracker you will need a screwdriver and an extender cable.
The plug-in tracker can be hidden using these steps:

1. Using your screwdriver, depress the tabs securing the vehicle’s OBD-II port.
2. Plug the Y Cable into the vehicle’s OBD-II port.
3. Plug the GPS unit to the short side of the Y Cable.
4. Push the original OBD-II port and the Plug-in GPS unit back into the dash.
5. Secure the long end of the extender to the vehicle’s dedicated OBD-II mount.

To put it simply, you will know as soon as someone removes the device.

We offer many different ways to send alerts:

• Email
• Text messages
• App notifications
• Reports

You can also send the information to as many people/users as needed to ensure your trackers will always be online.

It takes less than 1 minute to install once you’ve located the OBD-II ports on your vehicle.

If you are hiding the unit using an extender cable the whole process can take 10 minutes to complete once you’ve done it a couple of times.

The plug-in GPS tracker is compatible with any vehicle that has an OBD-II port.

All passenger and light-duty vehicles made after 1997 have OBD-II ports. Many medium-duty vehicles have them as well.

For any vehicle that doesn’t have a built in OBD-II port such as heavy-duty and semi trucks, we have adapters to fit with any vehicle (J1939 Type I & II, J1708, OBDII HD, RP1226, etc).
