With this installation method, the Vehicle tracker uses battery voltage and vibrations to detect trips.


When should I use this guide?

  • You are installing a vehicle tracker with the easy install harness

  • You want to register the vehicle and install the Vehicle tracker in one flow

  • The Vehicle tracker should detect trips using voltage and vibrations

  • You are not using an RFID reader


Prerequisites

  • You have access to the app

  • You have the vehicle tracker available

  • You have the easy install harness

  • You know the vehicle’s registration number, or you are installing in a machine without one

  • You can read the vehicle’s current odometer value


How to do it

In the app

Register the vehicle

  1. Open the Quick Menu at the bottom center.

  2. Tap Install device.

  3. Enter the vehicle’s registration number.

  4. If the vehicle does not have a registration number, continue without it.

  5. Tap Search vehicle data.

  6. Tap Next.

  7. Enter the vehicle’s current odometer value.

  8. Take a photo of the vehicle, choose an existing photo, or continue without a photo.

  9. Enter a vehicle name if you want it to be easier to identify in the system.

  10. If you are installing the Vehicle tracker in a car, you can skip Serial number. This field is mainly used for machines.

  11. Confirm the vehicle details.

  12. If you will be driving this vehicle, set yourself as the driver. Otherwise, skip this step.

  13. Continue without an RFID reader.


Start the installation

  1. Tap Start installation.

  2. Read the information about the different harness types.

  3. Select the guide for easy harness and tap I understand.

  4. When asked how trips should be detected, select Easy install only.

  5. Make sure no other options are selected.

  6. Continue.

  7. Read the information on screen and continue.

  8. Start the wiring guide if you need help connecting the Vehicle tracker.

  9. If you do not need help, skip the wiring guide.

  10. When the Vehicle tracker is connected, continue to verification.


Verify the installation

  1. Wait for server connection to be established.

  2. This usually takes less than 2 minutes when the vehicle is parked outside.

  3. If the vehicle is parked inside a concrete or metal building, it can take up to 15 minutes.

  4. Wait for positioning quality to be established.

  5. If the positioning quality is weak while parked outside, move the Vehicle tracker to a better location with a clearer view of the sky.

  6. If the vehicle is parked inside a building, the positioning quality may appear low even if the installation is correct.


If it does not work

  • Check that the Vehicle tracker is connected with the easy install harness

  • Make sure Easy install is selected as the only trip detection option

  • Check that the vehicle is parked outside during verification

  • Wait longer if the vehicle is inside a concrete or metal building

  • Move the Vehicle tracker if it does not have a clear enough view for positioning

  • Make sure the vehicle data was confirmed before starting the installation


Tips!

  • For machines without a registration number, you can continue without entering one

  • The Serial number field is mainly relevant for machines, not standard cars

  • For best results, drive the vehicle for 2–3 minutes outside after installation

  • Check the verification result before parking the vehicle indoors again
