Installation with OBD Connector
Overview
This installation guide is for the additional OBD cable we offer as a substitute for even easier
installation. This document serves as a walkthrough on how to successfully install GPS Devices
using the OBD Connector.
OBD2 Power Connector
Just connect the cable to the OBD2 port of your vehicle and the other end to the EasiTrack
GPS tracking device.
Installation Steps:
Step 1) Locate the vehicle’s OBD2 Port. Typically, it can be found in the foot well of the
vehicle on the driver’s side. See Figure A
Step 2) Locate a covert spot for the GPS tracking device. We recommend areas under
or within the dashboard. The device should be facing up towards the sky with the
label on top. Mount and secure the device with adhesive tape or zip ties.
Ensure that the unit is secure and cannot move freely and that the area the unit is
mounted in will not get wet or be subject to the elements.

Installation with OBD Connector
Installation Steps (cont.):
Step 3) Route the cable from the OBD2 connection to the Tracking device and
ensure that the cable does not interfere with the operation of the vehicle, (e.g.
Gas and Brake Pedals). Zip ties can be used here again to secure and route the cable
to the tracking device.
Step 4) Confirm that the LED lights are flashing on the device. Double check to make
sure the cable is secure along with the device. A zip tie can be placed around the
connected OBD2 port and plug to secure it further and discourage any tampering.
Step 5) After 5 to 10 minutes, the device should register on the network, provision itself
to your account be tracking.
Step 6) Login with your username and password at http://www.easitrack.net. Your
vehicle should be live and reporting on the map. Your installation is now complete.
