Thread: GPS tracker

Yeah, that was my theory with the dongle idea - sort of like the companies that run individual ID tags for the vehicles that if you don't scan in to tell the car who's driving you don't get to start it. Those things are frightfully expensive, the replacement dongles are wallet breaking and the software licence scares me to be truthfully honest - and the average person doesn't need the functionality to manage 100 or so drivers on the system...

I figure it would not be too hard to make up and run an auxiliary loom through the firewall and connect it to the right places depending if you have a diesel or a petrol vehicle - if you got really cunning you could flog an OBDII port off a wrecked car and use a basic OBDII corded plug off Aliexpress as the dongle to connect the wires to make everything live and the ignition to function. Your average car crook would be smart enough to recognise the OBDII port, but probably not quick enough to work out it's additional to the factory supplied ones...
