Review on πŸš— Vehicle Car GPS Tracker TK103A: Anti-Theft Realtime Spy with GSM Alarm, SD Card Slot for Reliable System Tracking Device by Matt Heringer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great deal when you think about all that goes with it! I have included a long setup guide.

Let me start by saying that I've been doing this type of setup for quite some time. tk103 is a great device for the price and installation is very easy. Since I'm sure most of you have already read the other comments, I'll get to the little things. For this particular setup, I cut all but the red, white, and black wires at the point in the harness where they fit into the main unit. This is certainly not required, but I have no plans to use other features of this device. The messages for the handy GSM GPS antenna are very well labeled and will not cause you any problems. Even the wiring harness itself, especially up to 3 wires, will not cause you any problems. Red should be connected to a constant 12 volt signal, black to ground (I used a pre-drilled ground stud that I have already used), and the white wire to the accessory is connected to a wire that is hot when the car moves. on the. There are many that connect the white and red wires, but I want to see if the machine is running or not while tracking, and ACC is one way to do that. From what I've seen so far I've had no trouble tracking and using other functions with the car off and reading the ACC. One of the most important parts of the installation will be the positioning of the GPS and GSM antennas. The radio antenna gets a surprisingly good signal, as does the GPS antenna. Nevertheless, in view of the increasingly rare 2G services, I think it is very important to place the radio antenna as freely as possible. One aspect that you should really consider when purchasing this device is that it works on 2G mobile networks. this piggyback on the AT&T network. Having already phased out 2G service in many areas of the United States, there is still more than adequate, if not excellent, 2G coverage in many places. AT&T officials have discussed that a full shutdown of all 2G networks could begin this year, beginning around the first quarter of 2017. Given the price of this product, this wasn't a very important obstacle that kept me from buying it. Let's hope that the same companies will produce devices with 3G architecture and, moreover, will replace these devices, which will make the upgrade much easier. Cellular carrier activation was very easy. When visiting the H2O Wireless website, make sure you have the H2O Wireless SIM card that I ordered with this unit. I will continue and describe the general process to make things easier for you.1. Go to the H2O Wireless2 website. Go ahead and register with your email address3. Sign in with the username and password you created.4. After logging in, go to Services and "Activate new number"5. When asked if you already have an H2O Wireless SIM and it is the same 20 digit number on the back or a 9 or 10 digit Act Fast code, click 'Check'. 6. From there, you can go ahead and choose the plan that suits you best. As recommended by my colleagues at Revain, the $10 4G LTE home charge is $10.7. Go ahead and complete the purchase process. Upon completion, you will be taken to a screen that will show you your new 10-digit phone number.8. Now you can take the SIM card out of the package and press the small button with a hole (it looks like number 3) to access the SIM card tray.9. You can now insert the SIM card, making sure the orientation is correct, reinsert it into the module and turn on the device.10. On the side of the device you will see a flashing light that shows both GPS triangulation and radio reception. Please wait about a minute.***Notice. The following command must be entered without quotes***11 . Once the light is stable, you can safely test the device by texting "begin123456" and waiting for a response.12. First, I recommend changing the password by sending an SMS with "password123456 xxxxxx" ("x" represents new numbers). NOTE: Replace 123456 with the new password in the following commands.13. You can add administrative phone numbers that will receive status updates and related messages from the device using the command "admin123456 2223334444" (2-4 is the number you want to add).14. Finally, you can use the command "fix030s001n123456" to send a text message to the device to ping a single location. Happy tracking everyone!
