The OBD2 GPS Tracker is a plug-and-play vehicle tracker engineered for easy installation into any standard OBD2 port. Designed for private cars, rental fleets and commercial vehicles, it delivers continuous GPS tracker location data and vehicle diagnostics to Plaspy-compatible platforms for reliable real-time tracking, fleet management and anti-theft monitoring without complex wiring.
Built with multi-constellation positioning (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou) plus WiFi and LBS augmentation, the unit improves outdoor accuracy and enhances indoor positioning where satellite signals are limited. With vibration tamper alerts, IP66 water resistance and server-side route history, this OBD2 device provides practical telemetry for vehicle health, fuel monitoring and operational oversight when integrated into Plaspy.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible plug-and-play OBD2 installation — get live GPS tracker data and diagnostics fast, no hardwiring required.
- Multi-constellation positioning (GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou) plus WiFi and LBS for enhanced accuracy and indoor assistance.
- Tamper and movement protection via built-in vibration sensor — instant alerts for suspected interference.
- IP66-rated water resistance ensures dependable operation in wet or dusty conditions for fleet deployment.
- Server-side historical route storage (up to six months) for compliance, audits, and performance reviews.
- Configurable geo-fencing, move alerts and overspeed alarms delivered by SMS and app for proactive fleet management.
- Small rechargeable backup battery provides limited operation if external power is disconnected to support anti-theft workflows.
How It Works with Plaspy
When connected to Plaspy, the OBD2 GPS Tracker streams location and vehicle diagnostic data for real-time tracking, fleet telemetry and automated alerts. Plaspy ingests GNSS coordinates, network-based positioning (WiFi/LBS), and OBD2 diagnostic fields so fleet managers can monitor vehicle health and respond to security events quickly.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates — continuous GPS tracker feeds to Plaspy dashboards and maps.
- Ignition status, fault codes and diagnostic parameters available via the OBD2 interface for telemetry and maintenance workflows (when vehicle supports those PIDs).
- Fuel monitoring and other OBD2-derived metrics can be visualized in Plaspy if the vehicle exposes the relevant data.
- Remote immobilizer workflows and reactive anti-theft actions can be orchestrated through Plaspy where supported by vehicle systems and operator procedures.
- Plaspy can correlate the tracker’s movement, geofence events and tamper alerts with other data sources to reduce false alarms and improve response.
