How to install a GPS tracker in your car

To enable GPS Tracker to track and monitor your vehicle in a normal and accurate manner. The complete installation needs to be divided into two parts:

1.Hardware installation

① Connect the power: The device should be connected to the power supply. There are two types of device power: battery powered and hardwired to the car battery.

Battery-powered devices are easier, just charging them regularly. Each model has different charging and usage times. Specific parameters can ask the manufacturer. Some battery-powered Trackers may charge once a few weeks. But if you need to update your location in real-time, it may take up to two days to charge.

The power supply connected to the car battery is not charged. The installation process is more complicated. If the user is not familiar with the wiring of the car, it is best to give it to a professional.

There is also a special OBD Tracker that connects to the OBD-II port on the car. The OBD-II port is the driving force for Vehicle tracking equipment.

② Place hidden:  After the power is normal, place the tracker in a relatively hidden place. Make sure it is not known to others and affect the security of the device. At this point, the hardware of the GPS device has been installed.

2.Software Installation

For the Tracker to work properly, besides the installation is correct. You also need to download the tracking software. Check if the device can send location data normally. This process can be done on the tracking software. If you don’t understand what to do at the beginning, ask the vendor for instructions.

Tracking software can set your vehicle information, such as license plate number. Once you are done, you can start tracking the vehicle in real time. When the vehicle encounters something like theft, a notification will be sent to your phone.

The GPS Tracker is usually equipped with an instruction manual. You can follow the steps in the manual to complete the installation. After installation, check if the tracking device can correctly transfer the location data. The user can then view the real-time location of the vehicle on the web or the phone at any time.

In fact, we recommend that you buy a GPS Tracker from a reputable vendor. And they send professionals to help you to complete the installation, so as not to solve the problem. Of course, if you believe in your strength, you can also purchase equipment to install it yourself.
