November 16, 2014Tested before installation in my car,
I changed the password and setup the admin phone number via SMS. I called it and it responded with lat and long numbers. I opened it in chrome and it was accurate. The device started sending me a Power alarm! message, with location. The internal battery must of had low charge.
I’m going to see if I can tap off the trunk light in my Honda–I hope its the right voltage. So far I like the unit.
Update 11/18/13
I went to O’Reilly and picked up an “add a line” fuse instead of trying to figure out how to get power from the trunk. I have not installed it in my Honda, but I’ve added a lighter adapter from Radio Shack. Its plugged into my old Chevy Truck (cig lighter is constant 12v)
I’ve tested these functions:
1. Move feature –move tracker and its sends location and speed. It worked and even sent the speed.
2. Time feature–I was able to set it to my time zone.
3. SOS feature–when you press the emergency button it sends a text to your admin numbers. Watch out with this one. I added my wife as one of the admin numbers without telling her anything about this new toy. I was using my sons old t-mobile sim to play with this tracker–he is off at school in Canada. When I pressed the SOS button it sent the message Help Me! to my phone. The problem is that it also sent the message to my wife while she was out shopping. The phone identified the SMS Help me! as a message from my son. She tracked my son down to see what was going on…he didn’t know what she was talking about.
4. I can’t get the microphone feature to work. The unit won’t answer the phone and voice mail comes on.
Oh, and I just ordered another one.
Update 11/21/13
I didn’t start my truck for 4 days and I had no problem starting it today.
I figured out how to get the microphone to work. When you want to listen via the microphone, send the SMS text message: monitor###### (yes replace the # with your code) The unit will respond with monitor ok! Now call the unit via an “admin” phone. My unit answers on the second ring. I figured this out by reading the GPS104 documentation that was on the setup CD. Oh, and to put the unit back into tracking mode, send the tracker###### command.
I installed the GPS tracker software. I’m going to wait for someone else to figure out what its supposed to do.
I also changed the SIM from t-mobile to at&t by way of puretalkusa. The unit’s LED did a red/green in under a min. I’m not sure why others are having problems.
One more thing that may come in handy. I’m sending the tracker sms commands via google voice, while sitting in front of my computer. Yep, using a keyboard instead of a phone. Just setup your google voice number as an admin. You still have to use the CALL feature in google voice to get a GPS reading. I cut the returned URL and pasted to bring up google maps. I’d say this is the worst thing about the unit. Why not make this an SMS command?
I hope to test the ACC wire this weekend. That is the only feature I really want to configure. Apparently when that ACC wire is hot (car on or key in ACC position) the unit can send me a status.
The oil (fuel) cutoff seems like a dangerous feature to implement and I don’t plan on testing it. I’m not about to make this $47 dollar gizmo an integrated part of my cars fuel delivery system!

November 16, 2014Works great–if you keep it simple,
The problem with this tracker is that it has a lot of features and each one has its own wire. So, what I did is I took a pair of scissors and I cut off all the wires for all the features I didn’t plan to use. That left just two wires–the ones that connect to the battery. If you keep it simple, it works great. If you want to try out all the features, you better be another Steve Wozniak.
This is actually two trackers in one box–GPS and GPRS. Forget about the GPRS, the cell tower triangulation. It’s sometimes wildly inaccurate and getting it to work right is complicated and frustrating. The GPS, on the other hand, is very accurate and the set up, with default settings, is simple and works great.
The tracker needs a regular size cell phone SIM. A lot of users get the T-Mobile SIM. I would recommend getting the H2O SIM. It’s cheaper. Also, if you get the T-Mobile one, you’ll have to put it in a cell phone to read a text message that they’ll send you to set up your account. Save money and hassle and just get the H2O SIM.
The instructions aren’t the best in the world but if you’re setting it up for simple tracking, they’re OK.
I installed mine under the hood of my car with duct tape. It does just fine in the heat and it won’t drain the battery. My car was sitting for two weeks straight with the tracker turned and it didn’t drain the battery so the power consumption must be very low. The two wire antennas it has, for GPS and cell, I strung up under the windshield wipers. That gives it some exposure to the sky and yet it can’t be detected.
If I want to know where my car is (people borrow it), all I do is call its cell number on my iPhone. The tracker then sends me a text that says where the car is, how fast it is going, and in what direction. When I tap on the text message, it goes straight to Google Maps and I can see where it is. It’s that simple.
I’ve called the tracker over 100 times and it has received my call and sent me the location 100% of the time. The failure rate is zero. The accuracy of the location is almost always within 20 feet. Not bad.
So I highly recommend this tracker as a device that is rugged, accurate and reliable. But if you want to try out all the bells and whistles, good luck.
