Hardwired trackers
Best for
Discreet, long term vehicle tracking where you want the tracker harder to find and remove.
How it installs
Wired into the vehicle’s power system. Fuse piggyback connectors may make installation easier without cutting or soldering wires.
What to consider
Many capable home hobbyists can install a hardwired tracker, but an auto electrician is recommended if you are not confident with vehicle wiring.
OBD plug in trackers
Best for
Fast setup in compatible cars, family vehicles, and work vehicles.
How it installs
Plugs directly into the vehicle’s OBD port and draws power from the vehicle.
What to consider
Most vehicles made from 1996 onward have an OBD port, but compatibility can vary. OBD trackers are easy to install, but easier to find and remove.
Battery asset trackers
Best for
Trailers, equipment, motorcycles, temporary tracking, and situations where wiring is not practical.
How it installs
Charge the device, place it securely, and connect through the supported app or platform.
What to consider
Battery life varies by device size, battery capacity, signal strength, location, and update frequency.
Personal trackers
Best for
Bags, keys, luggage, valuables, gear, and everyday personal items.
How it installs
Charge the device and carry it with the item you want to keep track of.
What to consider
Personal trackers are small and portable. They are useful for everyday items, but they are not a replacement for a discreet hardwired vehicle tracker.
