01 · The problem
The driveway at 3am, or a track with no phone signal behind you
Cars get stolen from driveways, and 4WDs head to places where "I'll text you when we get there" stops working. Either way you want the same thing: the vehicle's position, live, without walking outside or waiting for a call that isn't coming.

Personal & 4WD questions
Personal & 4WD
What happens if someone steals the car?
You'll know it's moving the moment it shouldn't be — movement and ignition alerts go straight to your phone, and the live map shows where it's headed. The hardwired CT-V03 also alerts if someone disconnects the battery to try to kill it.
Will it work on remote tracks?
Your tracker uses the network coverage provided by Telstra and Optus, Australia's two largest mobile networks. If one network isn't available where your vehicle is, the tracker can connect on the other. Two networks instead of one removes a single point of failure, but no mobile network covers all of Australia, and reception in any given spot depends on terrain, buildings and distance to the nearest tower. Not sure about your route? Send us the area and we'll give you a straight answer before you buy.
Hardwired or plug-in — which should I get?
For theft protection, hardwired: the CT-V03 hides behind the dash where it can't be spotted and pulled. For convenience, the CT-V05 plugs into the OBD port in seconds and swaps between cars. Compare them side by side.
What's the cheapest way to buy?
$139 for the CT-V03 or CT-V05, with the first year of the plan you choose included. From year two the plan renews at $7/mo or $70/yr (Power Saver) or $10/mo or $100/yr (Real-Time). Cancel any time; there's no minimum term. Bringing your own SIM? Any Australian 4G data SIM works in a CT-V03, CT-V05 or CT-A03.
