This is an OBD port device so having that be in a useful place is quite important. Some vehicles have it located in ridiculous spots, but for most it’s reasonable.
Setup was painless, and the app gives all the usual metrics such as speed and distance, basically everything you would need if you were an employer tracking a vehicle. The map is quite accurate in real time so you can see where your vehicle is to within a small area. You can set up a geozone and if the vehicle leaves that area you will get an alert, so it’s useful to learn exactly when a vehicle leaves the base and then returns.
The app works via a subscription service with a month free and then it’s about five pounds per month from then on, and there are a choice of different plans to choose from.
For the current price of about fifty pounds I would say this is a decent bit of kit, not top of the range but certainly better than most trackers at this price.
Four stars, recommended.
Although one photo shows it, the description doesn't make it clear that a subscription is required (the first month is free). I was already aware of this before I ordered.
One thing of importance is to check where your OBD connector is and whether there is 3cm clearance between the plug and any flap/door hiding it. On a Ford Fiesta, for example, the compartment door with the OBD port won't close with the tracker plugged in. I bought a flathead OBD extension to overcome this (see photo). I only gave 4 stars for installation for this reason.
The app looks and feels good. It is fairly straightforward to navigate, all you need to do is log in with the details provided on the device. The app does more than just tell you where your car is like if you’re speeding.
All in all, it does a great job of keeping you in a nice state of mind where you aren’t worried about your car and for that, the price is a good one to pay. I give this product five stars no problem.
Thank you for reading. Hope you have found the review helpful.
This tracker arrived well packaged and on time. It is well made and easy to use. The tracking is actually better than i expected and using the app you can locate you car pretty easily. it connects to the ODB socket and is not really noticeable. Would recommend. Top quality product.
It is built well and has a nice design. Works really well, I think it is good value for money, and overall I highly recommend it.
You get a free month subscription and then it costs a minimum of $5.14 per month (£3.78 currently) for a 12 month plan. There are also 6 month and 1 month plans that are slightly more expensive.
The tracking works well, showing a map and information like trip distance, duration, maximum speed and average speed. You can also set it to alert you if the engine is started, the tracker is connected or removed from the OBD socket, the car moves and the speed limit is exceeded. You can also set a locked zone which is where your is, and then receive alerts if the car moves outside of that area. The map will also show you directions back to your car.
I had some problems initially with receiving alerts and contact support who were very responsive. They got me to log out of the device and add it back into the app and all worked well after that.
This tracker works well for companies that want to track employees in vehicles or parents that want to keep track of young drivers. However, they say in the description and on their website that it is also an anti-theft device, which is isn’t. If a thief does a cursory check (the position of the OBD port in my car means that the tracker is visible and the label says ‘Tracker’) they would find it, remove it and toss it out the window so not much good as an anti-theft device. This is why I gave it 4 stars. If it wasn’t for that it would get 5 stars.
You just need to register your tracker, take it out of the box, download the app, enter the tracker ID, and then plug it in and you’ll see how fast it works.
It’s really great that, at least for my car, the OBD port where you plug the tracker in is hidden, so thieves wouldn’t see it. If something bad like that happened, I’d be alerted immediately when my car leaves my home zone and then I’d be able to call the cops and track the car.
The tracker is pretty accurate too, like within a few feet, so you really feel confident that what it’s showing you in the app is actually what is happening in real life.
I really not only enjoy my car (audi Q7 that I’ve been wanting to get for a long time) but I need it for work (which involves lots of driving). So this is definitely a must have, and the fact that it’s accurate and dependable is one of the strongest points for me. I can sleep at night
There is a great communication and experience with the support team, they responded to my questions within 24 hours.
The app works perfectly, giving an accurate gps location!
Monthly cost is reasonable and it was enough to swing it for me personally and I’d say buy with confidence.
