The J16 is a wired vehicle GPS tracker engineered for dependable, Plaspy compatible real-time tracking and professional anti-theft protection. Built around a Quectel cellular module and supporting 4G+2G Cat-1 with automatic fallback to 2G, the J16 gives fleet operators and vehicle owners robust network coverage, live telemetry, and easy integration with third-party telematics platforms.
The unit is purpose-built for fleet management, rental car monitoring and theft recovery: it delivers live tracking, history route playback, mileage and odometer statistics, blind-area retransmission of cached GPS data and remote immobilization via engine or fuel cut-off. As a wired plug-and-play locator designed for installation inside a vehicle wiring harness, the J16 connects to ignition and relay circuits and reports standard telematics intervals to Plaspy or any compatible server using GT06, JT808 and Tianqin protocols.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible out of the box — supports GT06, JT808 and Tianqin for easy server integration and telemetry reporting.
- Reliable cellular connectivity with 4G Cat-1 and automatic fallback to 2G for continuous real-time tracking in mixed coverage areas.
- Professional anti-theft features including remote engine/fuel cut-off (immobilizer), vibration alarm, geofence alarm and overspeed alerts.
- Wide input voltage (9–90V) and internal backup battery with power-failure alarm for uninterrupted operation across vehicle types.
- Blind-area retransmission caches GPS data when offline and uploads it when coverage resumes, preserving route history and mileage accuracy.
- Designed for fleet management — odometer and mileage statistics, history playback and standard reporting intervals streamline operations.
- Wired, plug-and-play form factor intended for secure installation inside the vehicle harness to reduce tampering and support relay control.
How It Works with Plaspy
Integrating the J16 with Plaspy is straightforward because the device implements widely used telematics protocols and a Quectel cellular module. When configured to report to Plaspy’s servers, the tracker streams location and status updates at configurable intervals so you can monitor vehicles in real time, replay routes, and receive alerts for theft or misuse.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Plaspy for live monitoring and fleet dashboards.
- ACC ignition detection and virtual ignition reporting for accurate engine-on/engine-off status and utilization metrics.
- Remote immobilizer support — engine and fuel cut-off commands issued from Plaspy to stop a stolen vehicle safely.
- Blind-area retransmission: cached GPS and odometer data automatically uploads to Plaspy when coverage is restored to preserve history.
- Alarm events (vibration, geofence, overspeed, power-failure) pushed to Plaspy as alerts for rapid incident response and audit logging.

- Logistics and asset tracking: ensure timely deliveries, preserve route history with blind-area retransmission, and receive power-failure alerts for tamper detection.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The J16 delivers a reliable, professional-grade solution for operators who need Plaspy compatible telemetry and strong anti-theft controls. Its Quectel-based cellular connectivity with 4G Cat-1 and 2G fallback ensures persistent coverage for real-time tracking, while support for GT06, JT808 and Tianqin protocols simplifies integration with Plaspy and other platforms. Wide voltage range, internal backup battery and wired installation reduce downtime and tampering risk, and remote immobilizer capability gives operations teams decisive control during theft or misuse events.
For organizations using Plaspy for fleet management and telemetry, the J16 provides a compact wired option that focuses on vehicle security, accurate mileage and odometer reporting, and dependable history playback. While Plaspy also supports extended telemetry integrations such as fuel monitoring and Bluetooth sensors for expanded use cases, the J16 excels as a core GPS tracker and immobilizer controller for fleets, rentals and logistics fleets seeking robust real-time tracking and anti-theft functionality.
