Tracker / Power Set Up.

Featured Replies

I have a cheap tracker and works o.k not 100% but do me.

How would you power it,its working off Hardwire going into a power socket and off ignition.

Don't use car that much so 2 days standing gives me a flat tracker so don't track when i start.

Do i just pop it into the 24/7 power socket or the u.s.b one thats on 24/7,u.s.b better as smaller.

Or put it somewhere where i can get the trcker out and change battery every 2 weeks or so.

Edit.........Rang the supplier and says they should be on 24/7 thats what they are made to do

and will never over charge as they have a built in protection,also won't hurt car battery as when they shut

into std-by mode after 5mins (if set this way) they use very small amout of power.

Has anyone done it this way and is it the best way to go,still on the standard cigi lighter.



Never done one myself but shouldn't it be hard wired into a permanent feed but hidden from sight so any thieving scum can't find it

Yes mate it's hidden,even i find it hard to get at and i know where it is.

In one way it is hard wired,as you said permanent feed as my fiesta cigi lighter is permanent live.

You won't find it following wire as it goes behind panels etc,there is just 1 problem.

If you pull it out it will last about 4 days max before flat so traking gone then.

Has anyone on here got 2 hard wire kits set up.

If so what fuse have you gone off for direct live 24/7 so i can free the cigi lighter up.

Any help would be great,i might just use the cigi lighter fuse and piggy back it as it's on 24/7
