The full descriptionFor the readers

CT-V06 is a slim hardwired 4G GPS tracker for cars, utes, trucks, buses, motorbikes and e-bikes. Its 10–90 V input covers 12 V and 24 V vehicles, and e-bikes and e-scooters up to 72 V, and at 93 × 43 × 12.5 mm it fits neatly behind the dash, out of a thief’s reach.

It installs quickly with just two wires: power and ground are all it needs. It senses ignition from the battery voltage or from movement, and we set it up for your vehicle before it ships or over the mobile network, so just tell us what it’s going in.

Three more wires are there if you want them. The ignition input reads the key directly, for exact trips and idling times whatever the voltage, and for tow alerts on vehicles whose battery voltage can’t show they’re running, such as e-bikes. There’s also an analogue input, and a switched output that can drive a starter-cut relay (relay not included; fitted by an auto electrician).

GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou work together for positions accurate to under 1.8 m, and alerts cover towing, crashes, jamming, power cuts, over-speed and excessive idling. A 170 mAh backup battery keeps it reporting if the power is cut, and positions are stored through coverage blackspots and sent once it’s back in range.

Every Crucial Tracking data plan ships with a SIM that works across both the Telstra and Optus mobile networks.
