Overview of the device

Step 1: Professional Installation

We recommend installation by a professional technician, this is an installation that can be handled by your preferred automobile repair shop. The professional will first connect the device's detached harness to the vehicle's power supply and then plug in the device to make sure the device is able to register to the network and receive the GPS signal. After this is done, the technician can place the device inside the vehicle, typically under the dashboard.

Step 2: Locate your IMEI

Locate the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number on the bottom of your tracker. The number is 15 characters long.

Step 3: Create an Account & Login

  1. From a browser on a computer or smartphone, go to: www.spytec.com/gps-activation.
  2. Click on the "Activate a new tracker" tile.
  3. Fill out the entire multi-screen form.
  4. Your login details will be emailed to you.
  5. Once you log into your account, you will see the mapping platform where your Hardwired Tracker will show its location.

Step 4: Placement of the Tracker

  • The Hardwired Tracker needs to have as much access to the open sky as possible to retain its connection to the GPS satellites.
  • Tracker cannot be surrounded by metal since it will block GPS signals. DO NOT hide the Hardwired Tracker in metal enclosures. DO NOT place it in the middle of the undercarriage, the engine compartment, wheel wells, metal bumpers, the trunk, glove compartment, or in any closed/lidded compartment.

Important Facts
