OBD2 GPS Tracker For Cars

The On-Board Diagnostics II port is a small trapezoid socket under the driver-side dashboard. OBD II port has been standard on every car and light truck sold in the US since 1996, so Konnect works with most vehicles on the road, push-button start included. Tesla and most motorcycles are the main exceptions.

Yes. The subscription fee covers the cellular data the tracker uses to transmit location data every 3 seconds. Konnect's monthly subscription is $8.95 with no contract and no hidden fees, so you can cancel anytime.

Prefer annual billing?

Bundle a year at checkout and pay no monthly fee for 12 months. For context, OBD tracker plans across the market run from about $5 to $50 a month.

There is no battery life to manage. Battery-powered GPS trackers need regular charging; an OBD tracker draws power from the vehicle's battery instead, so it stays on whether the car is running or parked. When parked it draws under 30 milliamps, less than a car alarm, so it will not run down a healthy car battery.

No. Konnect does real time tracking, speed alerts, geofences, tamper detection and a year of trip history. It does not report harsh braking, rapid acceleration, fuel levels or other diagnostic data, on purpose.

Trackers that read engine codes sit on the car's data bus polling the engine computer all day, and that is where the complaints come from: warning lights with nothing wrong, modules that stop talking to each other, cars dropping into limp mode. Konnect takes power from the port and leaves your car's electronics alone.

If you want driving habits scored or erratic driving flagged, you want a different product. If you want to know where the car is, right now, you want this one.

Yes. Unplug the tracker from the OBD port for the appointment and plug it back in afterward. It takes two seconds.

Tamper detection is built in. You get an instant alert on your phone the moment the tracker is unplugged, and a small backup battery keeps it reporting its location for about 15 minutes. Speed, geofence and tamper alerts are all customizable, by push notification and email.

GPS accuracy is within 3 meters under open sky.

The tracker locks onto four or more satellites to calculate location, speed and direction, and shows the vehicle's exact location on Google Maps in the app. Parking garages and dense downtown blocks can widen that briefly, the same as any GPS.

Yes. Unplug it from one car and plug it into the next; it keeps tracking on the same plan. Rename the vehicle in the app so your trip history stays labeled.

Generally yes when you own or lease the vehicle, which covers a teen driver's car and business vehicles.

A few states also require the driver's consent, so employers should tell their drivers. Placing a tracker on someone else's car without permission is a crime in many states, and Konnect is not sold for that.

Only the people you invite. The app supports multiple users per tracker, and the same data is available in the web dashboard for business fleets. Trip history is stored on Konnect servers in the US for 12 months. Not sold, not shared.

It is a small device that sits under the dash, out of sight. It has no effect on performance, mileage or emissions.

Yes. Konnect works in more than 155 countries. The GPS signal itself is global, and the built-in SIM card connects to local cellular networks wherever the vehicle goes, so it keeps reporting on cross-border routes and international trips. Same tracker, same app.
