Overview
The Optimus Wired GPS Tracker is a hardwired vehicle tracker that connects directly to a car's battery with a simple 2-wire hookup.
Unlike plug-in OBD trackers, this unit wires straight to the battery, so it keeps working even if the OBD port is inaccessible or already used by another device. The tradeoff is a slightly more involved install than plug-and-play units.
- 2-wire hardwired install to the car battery
- 30-second location reporting, 10-second upgrade available
- Alerts for speeding, geofencing and harsh driving
Who it's for
Fits owners who want a tracker permanently wired into a vehicle rather than one that unplugs easily, including small fleets, teen driver monitoring and theft recovery use cases. Not the right pick for someone who wants to move a tracker between cars or avoid any wiring work.
Pros and cons
- Hardwired power means no battery to recharge
- Geofence, speeding and harsh driving alerts
- A full year of trip history retained
- Two-wire install is more involved than plug-in trackers
- Tracking depends on an ongoing paid subscription
Performance notes
The tracker reports position every 30 seconds by default, with an upgrade path to 10-second reporting for tighter tracking on turns. Alerts cover movement, speeding, geofence entry and exit, and power disconnection, sent by email and text. A year of trip history is retained during active service, and the hardwired connection means the tracker draws power continuously rather than relying on an internal battery.
