Hardwired doesn't mean hard work.

If you can use jumper cables, you can install the Pulse Wired yourself in under 10 minutes — then it disappears from sight.

Drivers Can't Unplug It

Once it's wired in, it's mounted out of sight — no visible hardware in the cab, nothing for a driver to unplug or a thief to find. Tracking that's on 100% of the time, not just when drivers allow it.

  • Virtual Ignition Detection
    Detects every trip start and stop automatically from the vehicle's electrical system — no extra wires to splice.
  • Tow & Theft Detection
    Alerts the moment the vehicle moves with the ignition off, with live location the whole way.
  • Crash Detection — 15-Second Capture
    Records 15 seconds of data before and after an impact, so you have the full picture of what happened.
  • Backup Battery
    Keeps tracking briefly even if someone cuts the power. Works on any 8V–32V vehicle — trucks, heavy equipment, boats, RVs.
Comparing devices? The OBD tracker sits in the footwell and can be unplugged in seconds — this one can't. Read the full OBD vs. Hardwired comparison.

Warranty

The Spytec GPS 6-month hardware warranty covers products purchased online or from an authorized retailer. Products under warranty qualify for an exchange with a valid receipt and an active subscription and is non-transferable. The warranty does NOT cover compatibility or functionality problems caused by the actions or technology of third parties.

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.
