What is an OBD GPS tracker?

An OBD tracker is a high-performance GPS tracking device that plugs directly into your vehicle’s On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II) port. Once connected, it uses a cellular SIM to transmit real-time location data and other vehicle information to a dedicated data receiving centre.

Designed for convenience, these trackers are powered directly by the port, offering a “plug and go” solution that provides live, accurate trip data without the hassle or complexity of traditional wired alternatives.

By choosing a non-interference OBD tracker, you avoid the risks of a wired installation and ensure your OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) warranty remains fully protected, as many policies strictly disallow wired aftermarket modifications.

When GPS signals are received from a minimum of three visible GPS satellites, a position fix can be calculated, stored, and transmitted to show the vehicle’s accurate position on a map in real-time. Users access this data through a smartphone app or web-based dashboard to view live locations and trip history.

I couldn’t recommend this company more. They really look after their customers. Luckily I never had to use the tracking facility, but over the years the device was installed they made sure it was always set up and running as it should, just in case. A super friendly and responsive team.

I have been a happy customer of Automatrics for 5 years now

by | Apr 10, 2022 | OBD Reviews | 0 Comments

I have been a customer of Automatrics for 5 years now, I have a tracker fitted to my Discovery 4. The customer service I have received from Richard and all his staff from Automatrics has been outstanding, the staff are all very professional and pleasant.

If I have been at home or in the very North of Scotland they have always been very quick to contact me with the odd false alarm or small problem. I have never been in a position when I have been unable to contact someone. and the response to text or email has always been very prompt. I would not think of going anywhere else for tracking my vehicle.

I would recommend this company to anyone looking to track their expensive assets. A pleasure to deal with.

A big thank you to all the staff at Automatrics.
