The full descriptionFor the readers

CT-V08 is a 4G GPS tracker that plugs straight into a vehicle’s OBD-II port — no tools, no wiring and no installer. It suits cars, utes and vans with a standard OBD-II port, runs on 10–30 V, and moves from one vehicle to the next in seconds.

GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou work together for positions typically accurate to under 2.5 m. Alerts cover unplugging, towing, crashes, jamming, over-speed and excessive idling, and trip and eco-driving reports show how each vehicle is driven. A 170 mAh backup battery keeps it reporting if it’s pulled from the port, 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.
