If so what brand and did you only put money on texts or did you put money on data / calls too? Thanks.

[@asama1984]

Hi. No I didn't do any setup. Maybe try restarting or resetting it. If that doesn't work I'd contact the supplier.

[@slicedpage]

you don't have to wire this directly to the battery,in fact its best you don't. Thats the first place the thief will look. They will just simple disconnect the battery until they find the tracker.And the second place is the OBD socket. This can be wired anywhere its signal is not obstructed by metal. It can be wired to wherever you can get a 12v power source and a ground from. Use your imagination and remember thieves are stupid,its in the job discription.

[@asama1984]

[@slicedpage]

I have power light on steady and gps light on steady but service light is flashing. Did I get the wrong SIM card? I got the card with data, do I need to add text message to the SIM card plane?

[@umarabdulhakeem8113]

Do u need data or credit in the sim card inside the tracker before u can do it?

[@asama1984]

Yes you do my dear friend.

[@castrejonf1817]

Nice video got the device but it can work with any gsm network?

[@asama1984]

It doesn't work with all networks. You need to check

[@EdCase50]

Hi, can you tell me if this would work under the petrol tank of a motorcycle or would it shield the antenna and stop it from sending and recieving a signal?

[@asama1984]

EdCase. Unfortunately not. GPS signals travel through plastic and glass but not through metallic objects

[@EdCase50]

Damm... Thanks for your fast answer. back to the think tank for me then to find another location on the bike

[@EduardRitok]

Is it possible to track the vehicleor any other object/subject live? I mean..without a need to keep sending the sms ... i find it kinda impractical and even annoying . would be nice to be able to pair it through the internet with some particular android device, and using some app, to be able to constrnatly see where the object is and where it's going..without sending and reloading anything ... is there such an option in the settings of this particular gps locator? thank you

[@janexiao994]

hello friend, this gps tracker can only track location by sending sms, it can't use with app. it don't need internet can also work.

[@wadevid]

i think the point of this is that you don't need internet or monthly subscription so it costs very little. at least I think that's the case. That's why it's more cumbersome. But if you keep sending the sms every minute you can get coordinates as you go. Yes it's less practical but also a cheap way to track as a last resort in case of emergency or theft only.

[@RamonFrigge]

I think you can by using www.dyegoo.net website.. but apn needs to be set according to manual. Haven't tested it yet.

[@johnhoad9978]

I've got the self same tracker as you've just fitted Hey hope you can help me yes I took the tracker back out of the car and I noticed that the blue light was on the green light was flashing and the red light was flashing

[@asama1984]

So it's not connecting with your network?

[@johnhoad9978]

@@asama1984 I can send a txt to it no problem but cannot get reply found out battery not charging told that's why it don't reply flat battery but don't except charge

[@asama1984]

Did you have any problems connecting it to the battery?

[@paulw4690]

Hi Asama. Thanks for the video! Do you know if this definitely works using GPS as some on ebay say they do but really only use GSM triangulation which isn't accurate?

[@asama1984]

seems accurate to me. And it doesn't work in a covered location so I'd assume it needs a GPS signal to find your location.

[@bbwiebz3994]

I find the tk102/tk103a or b to be most accurate gps trackers around. The tk definitely do not use triangulation. I got a large property n both tk models were able to tell me which side of the house my vehicles are parked on.

Do you have to buy the slim card or does it comes with one

[@asama1984]

No. They don't usually come with a SIM card

[@raeleenmandy6359]

@@asama1984 can it be any kind of slim card

[@kannapoonan1307]

I bought this tracker on eBay for use in Brisbane, Australia. However, when sending URL# text to the tracker, it responds with a text which brings up a Google map in Shanghai, China. Using an OZ Vodafone SIM. Do I need to set up anything more?

[@asama1984]

Kanna Poonan. I don't think so. I didn't do anything to set mine up. Try restarting it to re-set it? If it still doesn't work contact the supplier.

[@kannapoonan1307]

OK thanks.

two out of three lights are flashing on mine...the middle light is on, but the other two are flashing. Nothing I do changes this fact except switching the unit off or disconnecting it. What is the solution to this?

[@asama1984]

2 out of 3 ain't bad

Greetings I try to install the GPS but I can't, the GSM light always flashes, the blue one is steady.

Hi do the sim card has to have a plan on it so it can work??

It's doesn't need a plan. Just some credit to send text messages

No. It has to DC current

Good luck. Let me know how you get on.

Thanks very much - very helpful (unlike the awful instructions!)

[@igoelizalde75]

Hi I can't connect this GPS tracker I download the apps but in other countries detected as I saw your KZbin video no need apps downloading?

[@asama1984]

It depends what software your tracker comes with. If your instructions tell you to download an app then do it

[@JCBM231]

Question. Is there a concern about the tracker draining the battery , if it is wired directly to the battery like you did?

[@asama1984]

The tracker uses very little current. If don't use your car for about 2 weeks the battery will eventually drain, but if you're driving your car every day that shouldn't be a problem.

[@mirriamkubangu1396]

I like you system, do you have the one which can monitor the fuel?

[@asama1984]

I'm not aware of one that does that sorry

[@Themanhimself-o1h]

Does this work in a specific range? And what's the feet from above the map? Am in Uganda I wonder if it would still work

[@asama1984]

It will work anywhere where you have a phone signal and GPS signal.

[@tangledline]

Still got this? What is the port plug on the side for?

[@asama1984]

No idea

[@asama1984]

No idea

[@checkeredflagfilms]

are there self contained battery versions of this tracker?

[@asama1984]

The tracker has an internal battery that lasts for 4 hours. A tracker uses a lot of power because it requires GPS signalling. It would need a bulky battery to make it last just 1 week

[@johnogaye6474]

need to purchase in bulk. plse advise.

[@asama1984]

How many are you after?
