Personal car

GPS tracker for your car.

Live location for a personal vehicle. Anti-theft alerts and active recovery service. Geofence the school, workplace, or suburb and get notified when the car leaves. Plug it in yourself in five minutes.

Recommended hardware

Teltonika FMM003 OBD plug-in (DIY, ~$250 upfront) for personal car tracking. Or Ruptela Plug5 OBD alternative. Both fit any standard OBD-II port on cars built after 2008. No auto-electrician needed.

How it works

What Teletrack does on a personal car

Live tracking

Position updates every few seconds. See your car on the map from your phone. Trip history per drive — start, end, route, distance, top speed.

Anti-theft alerts

If the car moves outside a geofence or starts outside hours you've set, get a push or SMS alert. Active recovery support if stolen — our team helps coordinate with location data and police.

Geofencing

Draw a zone around the school, workplace, suburb, or anywhere else. Get notified when the car enters or leaves. Useful for parents tracking teen drivers.

Trip history

Every trip logged with route playback. Harsh braking, harsh acceleration, and over-speed events flagged. Useful for insurance records or coaching new drivers.

Hardware

Two DIY options for a personal car

Both devices plug into the OBD-II port under the dashboard — standard on cars built after about 2008. No tools, no auto-electrician, no wires to cut.

Install

Five-minute DIY install

Locate the OBD-II port (typically under the steering column on cars post-2008), plug the device in, and within a minute or two it reports its first position. The device powers up off the car's 12V circuit. No tools, no auto-electrician, no cutting wires. If you sell the car, unplug and take it with you.

Y-Splitter cable included. Every plug-in tracker ships with a Y-Splitter harness so you can keep the OBD port free for diagnostics and hide the tracker itself under the dash, secured in place with a zip-tie. Concealed install, no auto-electrician needed.

Common questions

Will the OBD plug-in fit my car?

OBD-II ports are standard on most cars built after 2008 in Australia. Check under the steering column for a 16-pin trapezoid socket — that's it. Ask us before you buy if you're unsure.

Can the car owner tell the tracker is there?

The device is small and sits low under the dashboard. It's visible if someone looks for it. We don't supply hidden or covert trackers — what we provide is a legitimate consumer device.

What happens if my car gets stolen?

Alert us immediately. Our support team helps you locate the vehicle on the live map and coordinates with police using the platform's location data. We've helped customers recover stolen vehicles, but we don't guarantee recovery — outcomes depend on the situation and police involvement.

Is there a contract?

Month-to-month, no lock-in, 30 days notice. Cancel any time. Hardware is upfront — $250 + GST.

Is my data hosted in Australia?

Yes. The platform runs on AWS Sydney. Your location data stays in Australia. We don't sell or share customer data. Privacy Act 1988 and NDB scheme aligned.
