Plug & Play
Most vehicles are tracking in about a minute.
For any light or medium-duty vehicle with a standard OBD-II or 9-pin diagnostic port, installing a tracker is not a project. It is a plug, a light, and a vehicle that starts reporting.
The whole install
Find the diagnostic port
It is already in the vehicle, usually under the dash near the steering column. Nothing has to be added to make room for the device.
Plug the device in
It seats in the port directly. No antennas to mount, no wires to cut, no panels to remove, and no tools.
Watch it report
The device powers up from the vehicle and appears on your dashboard on its own. Once it is listed, that vehicle is tracking.
What that means in practice
- Time per vehicle
- About a minute for a straightforward install
- Tools required
- None
- Downtime
- No need to take the vehicle off the road
- Reversible
- Unplugs as easily as it went in
Why it matters past the first install
Fleets sell, lease and rotate vehicles. Because nothing is permanently modified to fit the device, moving one into a replacement vehicle takes about as long as the original install did. Tracking continues through normal turnover instead of every vehicle swap becoming a scheduling problem.
When it is not plug and play
Not every vehicle has a standard diagnostic port. Older vehicles, many heavy trucks, and off-road equipment either lack one or use a different standard, and those need a 3-wire hardwired install instead. That takes longer and is worth having a technician do.
We check your fleet's port compatibility before shipping anything, so you know which vehicles fall into which group before the hardware arrives rather than finding out in a parking lot. Mixed fleets commonly run both install types side by side.
Common questions
Do I need an installer for a plug-and-play install?
No. If the vehicle has a standard OBD-II or 9-pin port, anyone who can find the port can do it. Professional installation is there for hardwired and heavy-duty vehicles that genuinely need it.
Will plugging something into the diagnostic port affect the vehicle?
No. The port is designed to be used, and the device reads from it rather than changing anything. It draws power from the vehicle and does not interfere with how it runs.
How do I know the install worked?
The vehicle appears on your dashboard and starts reporting location and trip data on its own. If it does not appear, that is the signal to check the connection, and our support team can confirm it with you.
What if a vehicle has no OBD-II port?
It uses a 3-wire harness instead, which delivers the same location and trip data through a hardwired connection. We identify those vehicles before shipping so the right hardware arrives for each one.
