Hand down the best GPS tracker around!! Love it!!
Hands down, the best tracker I have ever used!I have used 4 or 5 different trackers in the past, but this one beats all the rest I have previously used by a country mile! I originally had a spare mobile phone set up with a 4G sim and a GPS app installed, and it worked OK, but the battery life on the phone wasn’t great and I could only charge it whilst I had the ignition on, so after a day or so it would drain the battery life.So I looked at an alternative option. I purchased a GPS tracker (i forget the name of the brand) which i hardwired into the car via the fuse box – again, this worked OK, but it had a very buggy app and rarely showed the correct location.So I then purchased a ‘mini GPS’ sim tracker that claimed to work with any sim carrier…but it didn’t and I could even get it to work. Lastly, before I got this device, I purchased the Vodafone curve which has a built in v-sim. Out of all the previous ones, the vodafone curve is the best, and works relatively well for a small monthly fee – but – compared to this item, the curve is nothing.Now…for THIS item…what a nice, easy and simple device that works…and very well!After unboxing, there’s a slip with an activation code to register the device. Then it was just a case of downloading the devices app and plugging into the OBD port of my car.No wires. No mess. No fuss. Don’t even have to worry about fiddling with a sim card as it has one built in. Don’t have to worry about battery life either. It pulls through enough power without the ignition on and no reduction in battery voltage and …it just works very well. It even has useful features in the app to enable smart security to detect vibration and you can even set it up to detect harsh cornering/braking/accellation etc.You can see exactly when the engine is started and stopped, where the car has been on each trip…and even follow the map LIVE if you wanted.Literally the only nag I had was that once I plugged the device into my OBD port, the flap door that covers my port wouldn’t close as the device was sticking out. But this was a very easy and simple workaround…the guys who manufacturer this device also offer an extension OBD cable, and its relatively cheap, too. I purchased the cable, and once I installed it, I was able to hide the device in the dashboard and close the flap door. This device also detects and notifies you when it is plugged in or unplugged.I dont have a bad thing to say about it. I gave had it in the car almost a week now…and I love how simple it is to operate.The monthly subscription is 100% worth it.

Great little tracker
Easy to install, very user friendly App, good features like navigate back to vehicle. Just a shame that insurers donât provide a discount for this tracker.

Great System but with a minor flaw.
I started off with the standard device back in 2020 and moved up to the advanced device in 2022 and whilst I have changed my car several times, the device has worked perfectly with each car. The subscription cost each month is a small price to pay for something you have worked hard for. I now have a Hybrid Vehicle and am using the same advanced device along with this app. The app has always worked perfectly for me. Even the Timer Lock that automatically arms your device after the engine stops after 5 mins. As my car runs on electric for a good percentage of my journey, I had visions of the device arming itself after 5 mins whilst Iâm driving, as my engine isnât running but it doesnât. However, the Car Lock Tag is a waste of time and never works and as the device is constantly attached to your OBD port, if I donât go anywhere in my car for a few days, the device does flatten my car battery and unable to start my car. The 12v battery on a Hybrid Car is very little and is only needed to make the Hybrid System ready but as said above, the device will flatten your battery if left for a few days. Otherwise, a great security device.

I donât worry about my car as much anymore.
This device is fantastic. The peace of mind it provides is definitely worth the price tag. All you have to do is take it out of the box, register it online, download the app and then plug the device into your carâs OBD port.In my 2013 Fiesta, I had to buy an extension lead because the drawer that hides my OBD port wouldnât shut with this in place, but it only cost £5.99 so not a massive issue. This also meant I could hide it, to prevent potential thieves being able to simply remove the device.The device is sensitive – a lorry going past my parked car in high winds was enough for it to alert me that it had sensed a vibration. However, Iâd rather it was too sensitive than not sensitive enough.You can pick your favourite colour to use throughout the app, and even upload a photo of your car to go with it. The app is fun and easy to use, and displays a log of all your past journeys. You even get a record of how many miles / hours youâve driven each month, which is handy to know to see how much mileage I get out of a tank of petrol. The app runs fast and loads up with map of where your car is within a matter of seconds.The GPS location or address given is not always 100% accurate, but that isnât an issue for me.Another thing to note is that as of August 2019, this listing is inaccurate. The monthly fee is £6.90, not £5.99 as it says in the description.If you love your car like I love mine, this is a must have.

UPDATE:NOT in the instructions or the help section of the app, but onliine: Best optimum results is the unit “pointing vertical label side up”. I suggest getting the extension or splitter is required. Once installed, go to an open lot and drive in a circle about 3 – 5 times. this insures the device sees at least 3 satellites for accuracy. If using the extension, check your car’s orientation on the map screen. If backwards, turn the carlock around where you mounted it. Buildings, trees, reflections will cause gps readings to be off. But if you drive around, Carlock will learn where the visible satellites are. This is true of any small gps.Cellphone notification speed is dependent on proximity to a cell tower and cell traffic. YMWV.This is not an alarm but a notification and tracking system. The built in vibration sensor is hit or miss. Don’t depend on it.Easy to install and setup. Very little instructions needed. But read what is there first. They say give the device at least 7 days to learn your car, where you park it, and how you drive. This is important as every vehicle is built different, handles vibration different, and moves differently.The monitored circle sizes should be smaller than the two provided. I know gps and cellular location accuracy can be off by a few feet but the circles are too large. Add a smaller third and let us decide.Get the splitter. Do not plug into the port directly. The splitter will lock onto your OBD securely and you can hide your carlock while keeping your port accessible. Zip tie or gorilla tape the Carlock to the steering wheel column (if possible), or a metal frame under the dash for better vibration transfer.Sign up for the plus plan monthly or yearly. The basic gives updates every 30 seconds. Plus is every 15 seconds. Worth the extra $2 a month. Better realtime tracking updates and displaying precise turns.For the money, it is priceless for piece of mind.If setup properly, performance is great.

I love the ease of use and the performance of this product, it is cheaper subscription than the stock GPS programs that come through the car manufacturer.The good: it’s easy plug and play. The app works very well and has no glitches. Notifications are great and come in within seconds of the alarm being triggered. I love the driving score, especially if you have someone else driving your car.The bad: it’s too large that I couldn’t apply the Ebrake on dodge charger with it on, so I had to get an extension. Which brings me to the next issue, I’d love to see a double bypass type of extension cord (similar to the one that comes with the z automotive tazer) this way criminals won’t find it easily and won’t be able to disable it. The last issue I had was at the beginning, but I believe it has been fixed, it was that the GPS would show the car at a place that I was at hours prior, and it’d take a day for it to snap out of it.Over all, good product and I’d recommend it.

Le CARLOCK traceur GPS voiture et alarme est efficace et abordable qui offre une tranquillité d’esprit. La géolocalisation précise et les alertes en cas de comportement suspect sont des atouts majeurs. Il est branché directement dans la prise OBD de mon Toyota C-HR, cela fonctionne parfaitement.L’abonnement mensuel est nécessaire pour accéder à certaines fonctionnalités et la couverture réseau peut être limitée dans certaines zones comme elle parking sous terrain.J’ai acheté ce produit principalement pour détecter des comportements suspects notamment la nuit, le capteur vibration est assez sensible.Je suis satisfait de mon achat et de la qualité du produit / service fourni.

Wir wollten zum Schutz unseres Wohnmobils ein gutes System mit einem ordentlichen Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Nach langer Suche haben wir mit CARLOCK dieses System gefunden. Die Installation ist sehr einfach und schnell, man benötigt keine groÃen technischen Kentnisse oder ähnliches. Auch der Download der App war problemlos. Die App ist sehr übersichtlich und leicht zu verstehen. Direkt nach Anschluss und nach dem Anlassen des Motors hat das System sofort reagiert und entsprechende Warnungen an die App gesendet. Jetzt nach mehreren Fahrten mit dem Wohnmobil wird das System immer genauer und ist sehr hilfreich. Alles in allem eine sehr gute Investition in ein sicheres System. Zu guter letzt muss man die hervorragende Kommunikation mit dem Unternehmen hervorheben. Man wird in E-Mail Form informiert über aktuelle Themen, über angebotene Unterweisungen etc. falls nötig.

Prodotto qualità prezzo eccellente, acquistato insieme al tag che disattiva in automatico quando sei tu a guidare. Nessun falso allarme in due mesi di installazione, ottime le notizie fornite dallâapp. Consigliato sto valutando lâacquisto anche per le altre vetture della famiglia se non fosse per il canone mensile che pesa un poâ. Valide anche le info periodiche via mail che ti aggiornano sulle novità e sul test di corretta installazione.
