I’m a diagnostic guy and find a lot of these GPS devices that have been left on cars and cause parasitic draws. That one you had in the floorboard is one of the common ones I find that fails and causes a draw. A couple of months ago I had one that had two of those dealer type GPS trackers. Almost every single one I find is a hack job install.

parasitic draws caused by dealer trackers are common after 3 to 5 years. this is because the tracker has a battery in it like a cell phone. This allows the tracker to work without the car turned on. after a few years the battery in the dealer tracker dies and will not charge. this causes the gps unit to draw power from the car battery and will run down with the car off, I.e., a parasitic draw. and a dead battery after a couple of days.

This is brilliant thanks. Now I know, there is a story a guy bought a car in Queensland Australia fell behind in his payments asked a friend to hide his car in South Australia in the middle of nowhere (now this was quite a few years ago ) it is about 2000 kilometers away 1200 mile I think. The finance company found and tried to repossess it. But he had caught up with his payment but the repo order was still carried out. Not sure what happened after that! But they found it!

So glad I watched this. I was looking for one and found the exact same thing as the second one menyioned there and was sure I found gps but for some reason entering some of the info into Google it came back as just an after market engine mapping ecu designed to optimize fuel and hp. Further looking w fcc id esp conforms its gps. Might try putting it on shipping container to China idea.

GPS units are usually fed off of a regular constant 12v lead. A gps/immobilizer is spliced into the obd 2 port and will 99.99999% of the time will not allow a scanner to communicate with the obd 2 port because of the interference due to the immobilizer.

If the device has an IMEI or MEID number on it, it suggests that it has a cell phone "call-home" feature built into it, or it can be contacted remotely through the mobile phone network. It may or may not have GPS receiving capability.

Some of the Buy here Pay dealers use a version of the GPS that ties into your ignition switch so that they can effectively disable your key switch. It doesn't shut off your car, but you can't re-start it after they trigger it. I bought a car from a regular dealership and it had one in it and they didn't use them. The previous owner had bought the car from a buy here pay here and they never removed it. 6 months later, they activated the unit. It was a lot of fun!

In the contract there was always TWO legitimate options: Pay and keep, don't pay and have it repossessed. There's no extra shame in choosing option 2 when its the best or only option. For most people who have loans from snap on for 10,000 dollar toolboxes (stupidly) they'd all be WISE to allow those to go straight to repossession and stem the tide of that money pit they dug rather than pay their way out. Sometimes the stupid decision isn't the allowing repossession, it was the purchasing on credit in the first place.

It's not PIN it's P/N as in Part Number from the manufacturer. The IMEI: means that it is using cellular as it's means to connect to a network and relay it's information the FCC ID: MEANS NOTHING it is simply the number issued to the manufacturer that indicates that the device is compliant with US radio frequency laws. NONE of those numbers will tell you anything about the device and certainly not who installed it or why. If you find one of these in your car and your car has been paid off AND you have the title disconnect it and be done with it. If your car is financed leaved it alone... somewhere in the FINE print of your sales contract is information where they told you that they "may" track the vehicle, removing the device is theft and could at the very least cause your vehicle to be repossessed.

People forget to mention that if the car is financed, many times you must agree to a tracker installation.

That is not LoJack - maybe it is a very very very old LoJack. I was a LoJack installer in 2013. What you have is not recognizable by me. The LoJack I installed, at most needed constant power and the battery was built in with its own antenna. No chance you would find it that easily. We installed LoJack in such a way that you could disassemble just about everything and not find it. We were also installing versions that needed only GROUND. 7 year battery. LoJack was making changes to make ALL LoJacks battery powered. Also, you cannot scan for LoJack, it is activated by the owner when they call in to report car stolen.

Likely past company car that never uninstalled the trackers

Thats nice I could just unplug it. Mines hard wired in and I have to figure out how to unhook it.

Just pulled mine out today... good thing I payed cash from a dude.

Check under the hood. They install them under the hood now.

The GPS tracking systems i put on cars you won't find. They always work unless its in a metal building but would still have a slight chance. But i spent 17 years installing security systems on automobiles. To find one i did you would have to gut the car.

I bought my truck from a dealership but would the financing company be tracking it And also it was repossessed once because I challenged the validity of the loan and they do not comply because they criminals anyway could they have installed a GPS tracking unit in the truck?

Definately looking for one in my car. I know that my car was once a government car and after tearing out the dash to put in a new stereo, found a business card. It was the car from a building inspector from a town about 100 miles away from me so who knows.

100 bucks, lol mine was a tenner on ebay or alipress,you pay a hundred anything your hats been nailed on.

I suspect i have one that was placed there. But i know nothing about cars. So where is the first place i look? Where you just did I'm afraid im gonna unhook something i shouldn't I have a 2008 cobalt

@@tronaboron2064 hahaha true! Yo my cobalt isnt bad . I had a 2014 crosstrek (loved it) but was paying 550 a month plus insurance. I just couldnt afford it. Got a cobalt for 3k and no payments and literally have had ZERO problems in 2 years

This is why good credit is important.

this kind of after market device can be caused for battery parastic draining. I didn't know that. I bought used car but its battery die after leave it 5days. I didn't know the reason. I replaced the battery but the same... I always charged my battery eventhough it is not electric car (lol). I went to dealer shop and found gps tracker was installed... and removed... no draining anymore for car battery... please check first after market installed products if you have car battery draining issue.

What about rental cars? It's my understanding that some renters have been hit with surcharges because of speeding. The right for them to do it is buried in the contract that none of us read.

I bet these cause problems as they get old since every wire is spliced for the aux obd.

Wear do I find the tracking device on my Landrover Discovery

thanks
