GPS TRACKERS FOR EVERY NEED
An OBD GPS tracker is a small device that plugs directly into your vehicle's OBD-II port - the diagnostic port found under the dashboard on most cars made after 1996. Once plugged in, it uses the vehicle's power to transmit real-time location, speed, trip history, and driving behavior data to your phone or computer. No wiring, no installation, no charging required.

OBD vs OBD2 - What's the Difference?
You may see these terms used interchangeably - and for GPS tracking purposes, they are the same thing. "OBD2" (also written OBD-II or OBDII) refers to the standardized second-generation on-board diagnostics system required on all cars sold in the US after 1996. Every OBD2 GPS tracking device we sell works with any vehicle that has this port.
| Vehicle Type | Compatible | Notes |

| Cars and sedans (1996+) | Yes | OBD-II port standard on all models |
| SUVs and crossovers (1996+) | Yes | Fully compatible |
| Vans and minivans (1996+) | Yes | Fully compatible |
| Light trucks and pickups (1996+) | Yes | Fully compatible |
| Heavy-duty commercial trucks | Varies | Use a hardwired tracker for Class 7-8 vehicles |
| Vehicles made before 1996 | No | No OBD-II port - a hardwired or battery tracker is the right choice |
