Hardwired Tracker Tracker Installation Guide

Overview

The EZY GPS hardwired tracker is designed for permanent installation inside a vehicle.

Unlike OBD trackers, hardwired devices connect directly to the vehicle's electrical system and are usually installed behind the dashboard.

Hardwired trackers are commonly used for:

Fleet vehicles
Commercial vehicles
Rental vehicles
Hidden installations
Vehicles requiring remote engine immobilisation

Professional installation by an auto electrician or qualified installer is recommended.

Application

Car Tracking

Motorcycle Tracking

Fleet Management

How the Hardwired Tracker Works

The hardwired tracker receives power from the vehicle's electrical system and uses satellite positioning technology to determine the vehicle location.

Vehicle activity can be monitored using:

The EZY GPS mobile app
The EZY GPS web platform

Depending on configuration, the tracker can detect:

Ignition status
Vehicle movement
Overspeed events
Vibration or tampering
Remote engine immobilisation

Installation guide

Before installation, inspect all components and ensure there is no visible damage.

Choosing an Installation Location

The tracker should be installed inside the dashboard area in a concealed location.

Recommended locations:

Behind dashboard panels
Behind the glove box
Beneath the upper dashboard structure
Inside the centre console area

Avoid installing near heat sources, moisture, moving steering components, or beneath heavy metal surfaces that may block GPS signal.

For optimal GPS reception, mount the device with the logo facing upward toward the windscreen.

Wiring Overview

Red Wire	Constant battery power (12V+)
Black Wire	Ground / chassis earth
Orange Wire	Ignition / ACC signal
Yellow Wire	Immobiliser trigger
White Wire	Relay control wire

Always confirm vehicle wiring using a multimeter before making connections. Never rely solely on wire colours within the vehicle.

Standard Installation (Tracking Only)

Turn the Vehicle Off

Turn the vehicle ignition off. Disconnect the negative battery terminal if required.

Connect Constant Power

Locate a permanent 12V power source. Connect the red wire to the battery positive supply. Install a 3A inline fuse within 150 mm of the power source.

Connect Ground

Connect the black wire to a chassis ground point or factory earth point. If using a chassis ground, remove paint to ensure a solid connection.

Connect Ignition Signal

Locate an ignition-switched ACC wire. Connect the orange wire to this circuit. This allows the tracker to detect when the vehicle ignition is on or off.

Mount the Device

Mount the tracker securely in the chosen location. Ensure the device is stable and not exposed.

Reconnect the Battery

Reconnect the vehicle battery and start the vehicle. The tracker will power on automatically.

Installation With Engine Immobiliser

Disconnect Battery

Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Locate Starter Wire

Locate the correct starter motor signal wire. Confirm using electrical testing.

Cut Starter Wire

Cut the starter wire cleanly.

Route Through Relay

Route both ends through the immobiliser relay according to the relay wiring diagram.

Connect Relay Control

Connect the relay control circuit to the tracker using the white wire.

Connect Trigger Wire

Connect the yellow wire as required for the immobiliser trigger.

Mount the Relay

Mount the relay securely in a concealed location, at least 300 mm away from the tracker.

Test the System

Reconnect the battery and test the system.

Important Immobiliser Rules

Immobilisation must only interrupt the starter motor circuit. Never install on:

ECU power circuits
CANBUS communication wiring
Fuel pump circuits
Vehicle safety systems

Incorrect installation may cause serious vehicle faults.

Installation without Kill Switch Relay

This GPS Tracker is designed for real-time vehicle tracking only. It does not support engine cut-oﬀ. No relay is required in this installation.

Wire Legend:

Red – 12V Battery Positive
Black – Ground / Negative
Orange – Ignition Signal
Yellow – Optional (Not required for standard installation)

Wiring Instructions

Disconnect battery
Connect Red to battery positive.
Connect Black to ground.
Connect Orange to ignition ON wire.
Yellow wire is optional.
Reconnect battery and test.

Important Notes:

Yellow wire is not required for standard installation
Install by qualified technician
Use only for 12V vehicles

Testing the Installation

After installation confirm:

The device powers on
GPS signal is acquired
Mobile network signal is acquired
The tracker appears online in the EZY GPS platform
Ignition status updates correctly
The vehicle starts normally
No dashboard warning lights appear

If immobilisation is installed:

Confirm the vehicle starts normally when immobiliser is disabled
Confirm the starter circuit is blocked when immobiliser is activated

Verifying the Device in the Platform

Open Platform

Open the EZY GPS mobile app or web platform.

Confirm on Map

Confirm the vehicle appears on the map.

Test Ignition

Turn the ignition on and off to confirm ignition status updates correctly.

Best Installation Practices

For optimal performance:

Always test circuits with a multimeter
Keep wiring neat and secured
Mount the tracker securely
Separate the tracker and relay locations
Ensure the installation looks factory-installed
