🛠️ Step-by-Step Installation (General Guide)

1. Preparation

• Tools: Screwdrivers, wire strippers, electrical tape, zip ties.

2. Installation Methods

• Plug-and-Play (OBD-II):
  • Locate the OBD-II port (usually under the dashboard).
  • Insert tracker firmly.
  • Test by checking LED indicators or app connectivity.
• Hardwired Tracker:
  • Connect red wire to constant power (battery).
  • Connect black wire to ground.
  • Optional: connect ignition wire for advanced features.
  • Secure with zip ties and insulate with tape.
• Portable/Magnetic Tracker:
  • Charge fully before use.
  • Place in a concealed but signal-friendly location (e.g., under seat, trunk edge).
  • Avoid fully enclosed metal compartments that block GPS signals.

3. Placement Tips

• Best signal: Near windshield or dashboard, away from heavy metal obstructions.
• Hidden installs: Behind panels or under seats for anti-theft purposes.
• Fleet vehicles: Standardize placement for easier maintenance.
