Was intending to buy one to see what they are like. Ive bought a few Gps trackers and most have been good. If these can relay vehicle data in real-time, that would be cool.OBD2 port doesn't switch off with ignition so just be careful you don't drain your battery! Quote

I think it just gets its power from the OBD2 port.....so, no real time data from the ECU.......although there is an OBD2 bluetooth transmitter available for that...... Quote

Ive got the Bluetooth OBD2 and that does flatten the battery But it sends data to my phone as I ride so I can log geeky stuff.The tracker in have is the TLT2 (waterproof version). No complains. Quote
Tango Posted September 10, 2016 Author Posted September 10, 2016 £21......plus SIM......I think I'll pull the trigger on one and see how it goes...... Quote
Joeman Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 £21......plus SIM......I think I'll pull the trigger on one and see how it goes...... Which network? I have a GiffGaff sim in mine. They don't consume much data so you don't need a huge data package. Mines payg and tops up when empty. Quote
Tango Posted September 10, 2016 Author Posted September 10, 2016 Dunno about the network Joe......I'll see who has the best deals..... My mobile is with EE....so I'll see if they'll do me a deal on a PAYG sim. Quote

The current tracker im using is wired to the battery and to the ignition. It's got power all the time but goes into standby mode. If the bike moves without the ignition coming on first it assumes the bike has been stolen and starts sending SOS messages. So having bother a permanent power supply and ignition switched supply is very useful. Quote
