FAQs
Find answers to the most common questions about EZY GPS.
General
What is GPS tracking and how does it work?
GPS tracking uses satellite positioning combined with mobile data to show the real-time location of a vehicle or asset. EZY GPS devices receive GPS coordinates and transmit them via the mobile network to our secure platform, where you can view location, trip history, speed, and movement through an easy-to-use app or web dashboard.
This allows vehicle owners and businesses to monitor vehicles, improve security, track usage, and manage fleets anywhere in Australia.

No. EZY GPS offers prepaid GPS tracking plans, including long-term options of up to five years of SIM data. There are no monthly fees, no contracts, and no hidden charges.
Once your plan is active, tracking continues for the full prepaid period without additional costs.

Does EZY GPS work in rural and regional areas?
Yes. EZY GPS offers Telstra SIM connectivity, which provides some of the widest mobile coverage in Australia, including regional and rural areas.
Coverage depends on Telstra network availability at the vehicle’s location. For customers operating outside metropolitan areas, the Telstra SIM option is recommended for the most reliable GPS tracking performance.

Is my tracking data secure and private?
Yes. EZY GPS takes data privacy seriously. All tracking data is transmitted securely and stored in protected systems. Only authorised users with login access can view vehicle locations and reports.
We operate in line with Australian privacy requirements and do not sell or misuse customer tracking data.

OBD Plug-in
What is an OBD GPS tracker?
An OBD GPS tracker plugs directly into the vehicle’s OBD-II port, usually located under the dashboard. It draws power from the vehicle and requires no wiring, making it one of the easiest GPS tracking options available.
OBD trackers are ideal for personal vehicles, temporary installs, and customers wanting fast setup.

Can I install an OBD GPS tracker myself?
Yes. OBD GPS trackers are plug-and-play and can be installed in minutes. Simply plug the device into the OBD port, activate it, and start tracking via the app.
No professional installation or technical experience is required.

Can I move the OBD GPS tracker between vehicles?
Yes. One of the main advantages of an OBD plug-in GPS tracker is that it can be easily transferred between compatible vehicles. Simply unplug the device from the OBD port and plug it into another vehicle—no tools or reconfiguration required.
This makes OBD GPS trackers ideal for:
- Personal vehicles
- Short-term use
- Rental vehicles
- Temporary fleet tracking
Once moved, the tracker will automatically reconnect to the network and continue tracking through the EZY GPS app. Compatibility depends on the vehicle having a standard OBD-II port.

Will an OBD GPS tracker drain my car battery?
Under normal use, an OBD plug-in GPS tracker will not noticeably drain your vehicle’s battery. The device is designed to draw minimal power and operates safely while the vehicle is running or parked.
EZY GPS OBD trackers include power-management features that reduce activity when the vehicle is turned off. For vehicles that remain unused for extended periods, we recommend:
- Starting the vehicle periodically, or
- Unplugging the tracker temporarily if the vehicle will not be driven for several weeks
If long-term stationary tracking is required, a hardwired GPS option may be more suitable.

Is an OBD GPS tracker safe for my vehicle?
Yes. EZY GPS OBD GPS trackers are designed to work within manufacturer specifications and do not interfere with vehicle systems. They draw minimal power and are suitable for most modern vehicles with a standard OBD-II port.
Because the device is plug-and-play, it does not require cutting wires or modifying the vehicle, making it a popular option for leased vehicles, rentals, and short-term installations.

Hardwired
What is a hardwired GPS tracker and how does it work?
A hardwired GPS tracker is installed directly into a vehicle’s electrical system, usually connected to constant power and ignition. Once installed, it continuously records location, movement, and trip data, sending this information to the tracking app via mobile network coverage.
Hardwired GPS trackers are commonly used for fleet vehicles, work utes, trucks, machinery, and long-term tracking, as they provide reliable power and consistent performance without relying on a plug-in port.

Do I need a professional to install a hardwired GPS tracker?
Yes, for best results we recommend installation by a qualified auto electrician. A professional install ensures the tracker is wired safely, concealed properly, and does not interfere with vehicle electronics or battery systems.
Professional installation also helps prevent issues such as battery drain, loose connections, or visible wiring, and is strongly recommended for business and fleet vehicles.

Can a hardwired GPS tracker be hidden?
Yes. One of the main advantages of a hardwired GPS tracker is that it can be fully concealed inside the vehicle. Unlike plug-in trackers, hardwired units are installed behind panels or within the dashboard, making them difficult to detect or tamper with.
This makes hardwired GPS tracking ideal for asset protection, theft recovery, and commercial fleet monitoring.

Is a hardwired GPS tracker better than an OBD plug-in tracker?
A hardwired GPS tracker is often better for long-term, professional, or fleet use. It offers greater concealment, consistent power, and reduced risk of accidental removal compared to OBD plug-in trackers.
OBD trackers are convenient for quick installs and temporary use, while hardwired GPS trackers are better suited to business vehicles, high-value assets, and vehicles operating daily.

What is a GPS kill switch and how does it work?
A GPS kill switch is an optional security feature that allows authorised users to remotely disable a vehicle’s ignition or fuel supply through the tracking system. This feature is typically used for theft recovery, asset protection, or fleet control and can only be activated under safe conditions.
