Install Your Tracker

Choose a Mounting Location

  • Install the tracker under the dashboard or below the front windshield

  • Make sure it has a clear view of the sky

❌ Avoid:

  • Areas that may get wet
  • Placing it upside down

Power Connection

Connect the wires directly to the vehicle battery:

Once connected, the device will power on automatically.

Ignition Connection (Optional but Recommended)

Mount the Device Securely

Safety & Warnings

Installing a wired GPS tracker involves working with your vehicle’s electrical system. Incorrect installation may cause damage to the vehicle, the GPS device, or result in personal injury.

  • Professional installation is strongly recommended if you are not experienced with vehicle wiring.
  • Always disconnect the vehicle battery before connecting or modifying any wires.
  • Never connect wires to unknown circuits or attempt installation without identifying the correct power, ground, and ignition wires.
  • Incorrect wiring may cause electrical shorts, blown fuses, or system malfunctions.
  • Do not install the device near airbags, steering components, pedals, or moving parts.
  • Ensure all wiring is securely insulated and fastened to prevent vibration, wear, or short circuits.
  • GPSCOTECH is not responsible for damage caused by improper installation or unauthorized wiring modifications.

If you are unsure at any point during installation, stop and contact a certified installer or our support team for assistance.

Troubleshooting

No GPS location?

Ensure the tracker is properly powered and the vehicle is outdoors. Mount the device facing upward with a clear view of the sky.

Device won’t power on?

Check the power wiring:

  • Red wire connected to battery positive (+)
  • Black wire connected to ground (–)

Inaccurate location?

GPS signals may be weak due to location. Move the vehicle to an open area and drive for a few minutes to improve accuracy.

  • Not syncing with the app?

Restart the app and cycle the vehicle power. Confirm the subscription is active and the device is online.
