|---|---|
| Power source | Straight off a 12 V or 24 V battery (10–30 V) — cars, utes, trucks, motorbikes, caravans and machinery |
| Suits | Anything with its own battery — no ignition feed or relay needed, so a caravan or a motorbike is as easy as a ute |
| Installation | Two wires with fork terminals onto the battery terminals — the tape on its back fixes it on top of the battery, the side marked “Mount this side up” facing the sky for the best GPS signal; if the battery sits in a metal box, on top of the box instead, as metal can block the signal |

The full descriptionFor the readers
CT-V09 is a slim 4G GPS tracker that connects straight to a 12 V or 24 V battery: two wires with fork terminals onto the battery terminals, and the tape on its back fixes it on top of the battery, facing the sky for the best GPS signal. If the battery sits in a metal box, fit the tracker on top of the box instead: metal can block the signal. There’s no ignition wire to find and no relay to fit, so a caravan, a motorbike, a truck or a piece of machinery is as easy to track as a car or a ute. It also works as a motorbike GPS tracker on a motorcycle with a 12 V battery. If the bike is stolen, a movement alert and a live trail on the map give you and the police a head start on getting it back.
Dual-band GPS (L1 + L5) works with GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou for positions accurate to under 1.5 m, a cleaner track and a quick first fix. It senses ignition from battery voltage and movement, and we set it up for your vehicle’s voltage. Alerts cover towing, crashes, jamming, battery disconnection, over-speed and excessive idling. A 170 mAh backup battery keeps it reporting if the battery is disconnected, and positions are stored through coverage blackspots and sent once it’s back in range.
The case is 14 mm thin, weighs 63 g and is rated IP65: dust-tight and protected against water jets, but not made to go under water.
Every Crucial Tracking data plan ships with a SIM that works across both the Telstra and Optus mobile networks.
