Just bought a SinoTrack ST-901L 4G GPS Mini Tracker.
I was going to spend out on an alarm but as car theft is getting smarter in the way they get around security I thought a tracker might be my best option in maybe getting my car back if the worst should happen.
I looked at many designs and so on and settled on this one as it was fairly priced 3G, 4G with GPS and even if they cut the battery it moves over to its internal battery which has a long lifespan which allows it to access Network and GPS.
So, it's a one time cost on the device, no cost for the App and or Using their sever services and the only outgoing cost is your SIM, so just get the best deal you can on any network with unlimited texts and 2 to 4 Gigabytes of data.
You will also find many ways to set up your tracker and they're great if you need to keep an eye on new young drivers, you can even set geofencing boundaries of any radius and so on, it will even text you if the car is packed and there is an impact or high vibration.
Edited 06/03/22.
Just wanted to add the install instructions does not include what the yellow wire is for.
Red is direct to the battery POS +.
Black to Ground -.
Orange is to ACC
Yellow is to be used to cut the fuel pump.
This is done by using a closed relay which should have a closed position (closed contacts) without power and this is cut into loom either on Pos + or Grond - Rail so in the app or website depending on the way you choose to use the tracker there's a cut fuel option.
This sends a 12VDC to said relay opening the contacts and cutting power to the fuel pump.
It should be noted that the tracker only performs this action if the car is at 20 MPH or less.
So, if the vertical is above the tracker wait till the speed is at 20 MPH or less.
This information was received directly after Q & A with Manufacture and confirmed.
They did not explain why it was not in the instructions but did state if this function was part of the install chosen as it's optional it should be installed by a qualified Auto Electrician only.
Remember this is an optional feature so you can install it yourself if you're not using it.
Here's the link if anyone is interested and you can fit it yourself, very easy.
It is a good buy if you ask me.
