Overview

A car, a work truck or a vehicle on a rental lot is where this tracker goes. Trackhawk's unit wires into the vehicle with a harness, reports position over LTE cellular and can disable the vehicle remotely through its relay, with a manual override switch for the driver.

Remote immobilizing plus live tracking from one wired unit makes it a security and recovery tool for owners, lenders and small fleets. Service plan terms are not given in the listing, and installation means working with the vehicle's wiring.

Who it's for

Small dealers, delivery operators and owners worried about theft get location, alerts and a way to stop the vehicle from one app. People tracking a bag, a pet or a person need a portable tracker instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Remote kill switch with manual override
  • Backup battery inside the tracker
  • Geofence and driver behavior alerts
  • Cellular fallback to older networks
Cons
  • Subscription plan terms not listed
  • Wired install takes time and skill
  • Enclosure material listed ambiguously

Performance notes

Location updates depend on satellite reception where the unit is mounted and on cellular coverage to send them, with older networks used where LTE is missing. The kill switch works through a relay in the vehicle circuit, so install quality decides how reliably it engages. The backup battery covers the unit if main power is cut.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Trackhawk VL03 a plug-in OBD tracker?

No. It ships with a wiring harness, relay and manual override switch, so it is wired into the vehicle rather than plugged into a port.

Can the driver override the Trackhawk VL03 kill switch?

Yes, a manual override switch is included in the box.

Will the Trackhawk VL03 work where 4G LTE is weak?

The listing says it falls back to 3G/2G networks, though availability of those older networks varies by area.
