Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about our hardwired GPS tracker, installation options, power alerts, tracking updates and subscription requirements.
Does your hardwired tracker need professional installation?
Yes, for a standard hardwired installation we recommend professional installation by a qualified auto electrician or installer.
The standard wiring harness supports a 3-wire installation for reliable power and accurate ignition detection.
For more detail, view our hardwired installation guide.
Is your hardwired GPS Tracker RCM certified?
Yes. Our hardwired GPS Tracker is RCM certified.
This means it complies with the relevant Australian regulatory requirements for this type of device.
What wiring options are available?
Our hardwired tracker is supplied with a standard wiring harness. Cigarette lighter and OBD2 power harness options are also available for easier or temporary installs.
The OBD2 power harness is power only, so it is used to power the tracker rather than read vehicle diagnostic data.
Which vehicles does your hardwired tracker suit?
Our hardwired tracker suits a wide range of vehicles and assets that can provide a compatible power source.
It supports 8-33V DC input, making it suitable for many cars, vans, utes, trucks, machinery and commercial vehicles.
Can your hardwired tracker be hidden?
Yes. Our hardwired tracker is designed for discreet installation and is usually best installed just underneath the dashboard trim, close to the windscreen.
This helps keep the tracker hidden while still allowing better GPS and mobile signal performance. Final placement depends on the vehicle, power source, GPS reception, mobile signal and installer preference.
For more detail, view our hardwired installation guide.
Will I receive an alert if power is disconnected?
Yes. Our hardwired tracker supports voltage monitoring and power loss alerts, so you can be notified if a voltage drop or total power loss is detected.
This can help identify battery issues, tampering or disconnection from external power.
Does your hardwired tracker have a backup battery?
Yes. Our hardwired tracker includes a 300mAh internal backup battery.
The backup battery is designed to help keep the tracker online temporarily if it is disconnected from external power.
How often does your hardwired tracker update its location?
Our hardwired tracker updates every 30 seconds during movement, with additional records logged in the background when certain speed, distance and heading changes occur.
This provides more detailed trip history than a simple fixed interval update, including clearer movement through areas such as turns and roundabouts.
What happens if the vehicle drives outside mobile coverage?
Our hardwired tracker has internal memory that stores GPS records when it is outside cellular coverage.
Stored records are uploaded automatically once the tracker reconnects to the network.
How accurate is your hardwired tracker?
Our hardwired tracker is designed for high-precision tracking, with approximately 2m CEP positioning accuracy in ideal conditions.
Actual accuracy can vary depending on installation location, GPS signal, surrounding buildings, vehicle placement, environmental conditions and other factors.
What is included with the yearly tracking subscription?
The annual subscription covers the SIM card, alerts, software access and operating costs.
It also includes access to BlackOwl’s tracking platform and local support.
View our pricing page for current subscription and lease options.
Can I lease your hardwired tracker instead of buying upfront?
Yes. Our hardwired tracker is also available through our business lease option.
This gives eligible businesses a no upfront hardware cost option, with hardware, SIM, alerts, software, operating costs, ongoing warranty, local support and future hardware upgrades included.
View our fleet tracking lease agreement for more detail.
Can I try your hardwired tracker before buying?
Yes. BlackOwl offers a 2 week trial so you can test our platform and sample trackers before rolling them out across your vehicles or assets.
