What to Compare Before Buying

- Phone compatibility: The app is stated for Android and iOS, so check that your phone suits the app you intend to use.
- Alert type: The system focuses on movement, vibration, engine start and disconnection alerts, so confirm that matches the kind of monitoring you want.
- Coverage and travel use: The included SIM is described as multi-network and usable in over 70 countries, which matters if you need cross-border tracking.

What Else You May Need
You need a vehicle battery connection for the two-wire install and an active plan for ongoing use of the tracking service.
Before You Decide
Check that you want a hard wired tracker rather than a portable one, and confirm that your vehicle and phone setup suit the two-wire installation and app use. Also factor in the ongoing monthly plan before choosing an offer.
