Because of changes in the State of New York, we now have to be able to track all of our commercial vehicle miles traveled in the roads of New York and submit them on a monthly basis and pay a fee/tax for these. We are also requested to be able to justify it in case of an audit. The only possible way to do all of this is via GPS. Spytec does everything I need it to from tracking the trucks to letting me know via a report which I can export and keep for the future the number of miles traveled on each state for any possible audit. It is really impressed with the simplicity and all the things available at the same time.

Comparing with the OBD tracker? OBD plugs in seconds and reads engine codes and fuel, but sits in the footwell and can be unplugged. Hardwired gives up the engine data and gains tracking that's never off.

FAQs
How hard is installation?
Easier than you'd think. Connect the red wire to your vehicle's 12V constant power (usually the battery positive terminal) and the black wire to ground. If you're comfortable using jumper cables, you can do this yourself in about 15 minutes.
Why choose Pulse Wired over the OBD plug-in tracker?
Two main reasons: it's hidden and tamper-resistant. The OBD tracker is visible in the footwell and can be unplugged. The hardwired unit can be mounted out of sight, making it ideal for theft recovery, monitoring teen drivers who might unplug a tracker, or fleet vehicles where you don't want drivers tampering with it. Read our full OBD vs Hardwired comparison guide for a detailed side-by-side.
How fast are location updates?
Up to 5-second updates—fast enough for real-time monitoring of routes and driver behavior.
Will this drain my car battery?
No. It draws minimal current (similar to your car's clock or alarm system) and won't drain a healthy battery, even if the vehicle sits for weeks.
What vehicles does this work with?
Any vehicle with an 8V to 32V electrical system—cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, boats, RVs, heavy equipment. It's not limited to vehicles with OBD ports.
Does this give me engine diagnostics or fuel levels?
No. Since it connects to the battery (not the OBD port), it doesn't pull vehicle telematics data. If you need engine codes, fuel levels, and trip data, the OBD Plug-In Tracker is a better fit. See our OBD GPS tracker guide for what data you'll get.
Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 45 reviews.
So far so good no issues 😃😃😃
after some hiccups and the beginning, all worked out well, and the device is working great
The physical tracker is small, compact, and fits my application well. The power leads could stand to be a bit longer to avoid adding length during installation. The packaging did not include any installation or activation information. I was left with searching for info online. Also, when looking for a phone app, there was no clue that Hapn GPS was associated with Spytec GPS. Once I stumbled onto the spytec website, this became more clear and I could get the Hapn app. After spending an hour or so on the website, the level of tracker detail appears to be adequate. I expect to have a learning curve ahead of me for printing reports and collecting data points, etc. I have not spent time on the Hapn App yet, so my learning curve continues.
Took a little to get going but most likely user error
Easy to install and set up.....easy piece of mind
Hardwired is the only way to go! Subscription is well priced, performance mode is faster than most all other competitors, cell communication is consistent and accurate, easy to conceal the device as long as at least one side of the area is non-metal, and you never need to worry about charging the device battery. I give it 5 Stars!
Easy installation. Easy to navigate tracking.
So far so good. Will need to order 7 more for the rest of fleet
Great product, easy install overall
App can be a bit buggy but other than that it’s a great buy
Excellent, Exactly what we needed.
I love it
Simple to use
Easy install!
Great
Install was easy. Very accurate tracking on the app.
Works perfectly, easy install
Hardwired GPS Tracker The tracker was easy to install and gets a good signal even with it hidden up inside the dashboard. The user interface was easy to set up and configure and has been working well so far.
Great Tracker Spytec GPS have worked out well for me. I have owned them around 4 or 5 years. I started with one now I have several. They give me a piece of mind when I am away from the jobsite knowing my assets are still on site.
When I hooked up the hardwired gps tracker it was not functioning properly and I couldn’t find a way to reboot the tracker. Your support team stuck with me till I figured out that after I activated the tracker I had to disconnect and reconnect to reboot it. It popped up an began working fine. Thank your support team for sticking with me to make sure we got it going.
Tracker While the tracker is great, we have had to get rid of the car as our parent's need for care has increased. Spytecgps was great and refunded our money.
As of 7:15 pm 10/2/19 the SpyTecGPS team has yet to get my unit to work. The last thing they told me was that my Unit number did not exist in a data base.
Great product! Great presales support answering all my questions. Tech support helped me with a slight issue I had & was resolved in short order. Would purchase this product again.
Stealth I've had a plug in tracker for a few years and had great success but after buying my new Ford Raptor I decided to have a hardwired unit installed. I will leave the plug in GPS in the truck as a decoy. Best protection out there.
XT 2150 I just had the product installed on my teenage sons car. Initially getting it to track was difficult and required a lot of emails between customer service and myself, but customer service was there throughout the process. This is by far the best customer service I have ever experienced. Once they were able to get the product tracking. Which did not take them long to do. The accuracy is phenomenal. I have been using the product now for two days and no problems so far. Loving the product and if something goes wrong I know customer service is there. Special thanks to customer service for hand guiding me through this a entire set up process and getting it initialized. Thank you for your time.
Great product
Works great
So Far, So Good Was using an iPhone app for similar purposes but the quality of updates from the phone was spotty, plus we all know you can leave a phone anywhere, and get in a vehicle and drive. So, moved to this as a secondary approach. Thus far the unit seems to be very accurate and I am pleased. I do with that they had an APP to use on the phone instead of a mobile website, but that is a small issue and the website seems to work well.
Good product
XT-2150 Easy fast to install...excellent
Great Item Have experience with Spy Tech's other devices and they're all really great!
So it is doing a great job. thanks
Great Tracker I have been using spytec and there products for over a year. This one is great as it is super concealed and always has power.
So far it is great
👍🏾
