Self-install

Fit it yourself — no engineer, no auto-electrician

Trackmatic trackers are supplied ready to fit. You install the tracker in the vehicle using the guide provided; no appointment, call-out fee or workshop downtime.

How the installation actually works

Each tracker is a small hardwired unit, not a plug-in OBD dongle. Installation means connecting two wires and securing the unit:

  • The black wire connects to a negative/earth point.
  • The red wire connects to a permanent positive feed.
  • The unit is then secured in place using the supplied 3M adhesive pad.

A written guide is included with your tracker. If you're not confident working with vehicle wiring, most workshops or auto-electricians can fit it in a short visit — but for most customers, this is a straightforward DIY job that doesn't need one.

Always check the specific instructions supplied with your device before starting, and disconnect the vehicle battery if you're unsure about working near live wiring.

Why self-install instead of a professional fit?

  • No booking an installer or waiting for an appointment slot
  • No vehicle off the road for a workshop visit
  • No call-out fee added to your order
  • Fit trackers across a fleet on your own schedule, not an installer's
