This is the third one we’ve bought and they all do the job well.
Well worth the money, works great.
The software is easy to set up, and you can set up time triggers and/or geofencing.
If you want to keep track of your wife, kids, staff or just the car, this is the perfect tracker.
Well impressed!
Easy to use, website and App are good as well. Customer service very quick.
Got this tracker device yesterday. It arrived with a sim card included. Use this sim but remember to put it in the correct way up e.g. chip side up with cut corner in first. I didn’t do this as I tried to use a GiffGaff sim and forgot the original device sim orientation. Needless to say that the only sim card I got to work was the one provided by the device. Also, if you put the sim in the wrong way around, the green operational light will flash but you can’t connect to the GPSLive servers which is both misleading and annoying. So, remember to put the sim in the right way up and hear/feel the click otherwise you’ll get lots of problems where things appear to work but don’t. Other than my user-errors, things have gone well since and the subscription is about the same price as the monthly GiffGaff sims anyway. Tech Support was excellent.
Excellent unit. Arrived on time, well packed. Compact and robust with a strong magnet for easy installation.
Very easy to start up with clear instructions and an easily available app.
I had returned 2 cheaper units from other companies as they were so difficult to start up with incomprehensible instructions.
This one has a sim card installed on arrival and I had ny location identified within 10 minutes.
Brilliant tracker, very efficient app and exceedingly good customer support.
Had a problem with my tracker almost a year after self install, and the team resolved my issues straight away.
Couldn’t recommend the organisation more!
Bought this to replace the factory fitted one on my land rover. Whilst that unit was excellent the cost of the monitoring service was getting ridiculous – more than the entire vehicle insurance each year. This unit has greater functionality and better reporting. You don’t have to have it professionally installed but I did as I didn’t fancy cutting through fuel pump / starter motor wiring to enable remote engine turn off to take place. Cost me 100. If you don’t want remote immobilisation then you can just hard wire to the battery or easier still just stick it to a magnetic surface and rely on the unit’s internal battery, recharging as necessary. You do need to call your insurers though. Mine were ok with this device after I explained its functionality in detail but not all will be as it’s not security rated.
I have been running one of these units on my car for 4 years. I use stand alone and it isn’t hardwired in. A 4 hour charge will last a good 3 weeks of daily driving. You can customise alerts to your phone – movement, battery charge, speed etc, live tracking too, you pay an annual sub of 40 for the internal SIM and software licence, a small price to pay! You can also call rewire at any time for help. An excellent bit of kit for the price.
I installed this on my Car and it’s amazing!
I definitely will be buying another Rewire tracker for my motorbike.
So easy to set up and the app is amazing to use.
I have a 12v socket in the boot of my car so I pulled all the lining out of my boot hid the device and the antennas in there and then wired it to the 12v socket behind so you couldn’t tell it would be there.
It’s never ran out of batter and it was recently stood for a month and a half on its own battery and the level still said 100% after been stood for so long.
Absolutely brilliant device 100% recommend for anyone who is looking for a affordable good quality tracke
My scooter got stolen and i managed to get it back because of this device.
Brilliant tracker shows where you’ve been what average speed is,very accurate to where your bike is , you get message to let you know when battery’s is low It has very strong magnet to attach to motorbike or car very easy to set up and go.
The unit itself works great, it is quite bulky but reasonably easy to hide, and the ability to hard wire it if using in a vehicle is great.
The engine cut-off is not really that (not allowed in the UK for safety reasons) but just stops anyone restarting the vehicle again after it has already been turned off.
It has some physical design ‘flaws’ though – I would not like to use it under or outside of a vehicle for instance.
1. The strong magnetic backing might be a strong magnet – but it’s just a sheet of self adhesive magnet like the car sign people use – and it does not like sticking to the plastic unit.
2. The unit itself has no waterproof properties at all – especially if you use the supplied external GPS and GSM antennae.
3. A waterproof pouch is supplied – which is of good quality – unfortunately it is about 1″ too small and you really have to stretch it to fit it over the unit and get it to seal properly – this is because of the 2 moulded tabs on the unit for screwing it down if you wished to, making it too long, and of course – using the external antennae again renders it useless.
GPS Live on the PC is far too complex for most peoples needs, too many options are available for I imagine most users – ie the non commercial user who probably wants to know only if their pride and joy has been moved – and have the ability to find it again or see where it is going.
It needs a ‘simple’ interface or an option to switch between simple or advanced maybe.
The telephone app is far more intuitive – but you have to remember – if you set alarms or alerts or zones – that unless you disable them – should you move the vehicle or item yourself – you will get a text message telling you so – which is knocked off the quantity you paid for.
Having said all that – I am happy with mine, as I have got it set up so its flaws are not an issue.
Fantastic device! Does exactly what it says, plus the telephone support from Rewire Security has been excellent, not being very technical I called them a couple of times. I bought 2 last year, and had one fitted professionally permanently wired into my motorhome, it was stolen last night and I got an alert within seconds as it left the safety zone I set up online. I traced it’s progress, updating the police who quickly apprehended the culprit and recovered my motorhome undamaged, and already on false plates! I also have the other one hidden on my car, using the magnetic force and I only have to recharge it every 3 months or so. Great investment if you value your vehicle. I can see from my online account there’s the ability to monitor a whole fleet of vehicles for business use too.
Re-come t, i called them and they sirted it out in no time and it is uo and running oerfectly now, aparantely i inserted the sim wrong way round.
Thanks.
Excellent Track, very accurate. Can track my car down to even the correct side of my garage!
Cheaper by 10 from the distributor Rewire.
Best bit of kit I’ve had. Piece of mind of knowing where your car is at anytime. The cost of running is practically almost nothing other than your yearly subscription.
I call the company and they helped me to register the Device to the application. They were help full and the Device is working perfectl. Now I have eye on my vans Wherever on the road.
up to now good battery life and seems to have excellent GPS locatio
Easy to fit. Very accurateto within just a few metres.
Nice Costumer support, brilliant platform and app, nothing to complain.
Great tracker it’s easy to set up and very user friendly. Good helpful response from their technical support.
It’s early days as I’ve only had it 3 month. But so far it’s been amazing
A fantastic device that required a bit of chasing up with the Rewire Security in order to properly configure it. If you are using your own sim card, you need to call up Rewire Security to register the sim card on their system so that the APN settings on their servers can keep in touch with the device without it crashing. Prior to doing this, my tracker was crashing a lot and I felt as though perhaps it wasn’t as good as the raving reviews said it was, but once configured, it works brilliantly.
Bought one then bought another the next day as it was very easy to set up, works as they should, would recommend.
Had three years has worked faultlessly ! Still have credit on 20 Lyca mobile top up card had mine hard wired In – never had any problems since installed
Cost me 20.00 already only had it 4 days says first year free ? also said 10 a year or 20 for life but 20 only last a year ?
Does what it claims, it’s a good small unit with great features pop in your sim card and your good to go after a good charge that is. Magnet is very strong and the extra gps and cellular aerials for better reception as well as a hard wire kit so it will be self charging also. The app for tracking is good and reponsive and the list of commands easy to follow and quick to receive from the unit. Worth the money.
The only negative thing I can say about this item so far is the power cable !
It is a small clip that plugs securely into the unit ….. Great until it needs to be removed !!
I had to use a set of twixzers to get it out without damaging the wires of the plug !
It fits in so tight that it’s so hard to remove the plug once it has been charged !!
But all in all it’s worth that small frustration! Great device for the cost .
I am abroad and can still see that my unit has not moved on the map ! Excellent
I would definitely recommend this security system .
Purchased this easy to fit comes with everything u need the app is very good battery lasted 8 weeks without wiring into the car loom. Beware u have to add 30 to your costs for subscriptions to GPS and sim card credit happy with this purchase
I made a mess of setting it up, one phone call to help desk got it sorted. Works with basic settings by sending notification whenever the car starts off and when it stops. Also when any stop for a few minutes on the journey. A must have for peace of mind.
Really impressed with this device. Feels solid, has all sorts of fitting options included in the box. For a really simple fit, charge it up, place it in the car using the built-in magnet. Lasts a month or more. Great value and very accurate.
Great product, simple to use & set up.
Good battery life, accurate pin pointing
I had my car stolen a few month’s ago and if I’d had this tracker then I would have known exactly where it was. Well worth the 10 per 6 month sim card. I got my son-in-law to install it as I know nothing about technology, but he say’s it was relatively easy.
Like most, I reviewed many trackers before committing to this one. Easy to set up and fix with straightforward instructions. Previous reviews have focused on the prices of the SIM and cloud tracking. I think these are both reasonable given the reassurance the device brings and the ease of access with the app. A must for valuable trailers given the insurance premiums being quoted. I am pleased with this purchase. Further more now having used it for a few months I am impressed by the after sales service and care-brilliant, proactive and helpful. In today’s ethos of “its not our problem”, these guys are exceptional.
Fantastic bit of kit, and acurite as well, very easy to set up as well
It’s been a month since I bought this tracker. It’s really useful. The battery last around 1700 miles. By paying for the sim card 10 pounds you will be covered for three months. The free subscription on the gpslive website is only for 7 days, you have to pay 20 pounds for 12 months, which is fine, and if you want to receive notification ( text messages) on your mobile phone for when your car is moving, or when the battery for the tracker is low , then you have to pay 12 pounds for 48 text messages, or 20 pounds for 100 texts, is up to you. This is what I was looking for. This kit is just brilliant.
I am a tecnician instailing aftermarket products like Parking sensors and Cameras on used vehicles in South London and this is one of the best and economical product you could have on any vehicle. You can live track your vehicle and shut down the engine if it gets stolen. Mobile or What’sApp on 07859034378. Brilliant Customer Services. It automaticaly refresh at least every 15 seconds.
I bought this after looking into other far more expansion trackers with high motoring costs. This tracker is very effective , accurate gracki g of speed and location, defo highly recommend and will be buying 2.more for my.other cars, the app is simple to use, the sim callback costs 5p using giffgaffbut only need to ping it when car taken as the app allow free tracking at no extra cost. U pay 20 quid a year subs for the huge tracking and alerts.
Battery lasted well over 3 months. The device is very accurate. Download the app as this will make setup easy. Also don’t use the sim provided. I got a sim from O2 and pay monthly deal for 8. Hardly used any data.
I have only just received this but so far, experience with this has been very good.
The quick start guide is concise but has all the information you need to get started
The GiffGaff sim connected easily and after charging with 10 credit (NOT one of their bundles), the device started reporting
I subscribed to GPSLive for 1yr @20
A short journey was tracked accurately. I need to figure out where to locate the device more permanently although I won’t be hard-wiring it. I’ll see how long the battery and GG credits last. But the setup was painless and it looks like this was a good purchase.
5 days after taking delivery of a new car I was going to leave it in the hands of an airport parking company for a couple of weeks. I decided I would fit a tracker. With no time to have a device professionally fitted before my holiday I a magnetically fixed device that had a good battery life, which could be professionally fitted later. I chose the Rewire Pro 104 and I could not be more pleased. Delivery was quick and after topping up the battery charge I fixed it to my car without the external GPS and wireless antennas being attached. The tracker came with a Giff Gaff sim. I paid 10 to Giff Gaff and 31 (2 year contract) to Rewire and activated the device and downloaded the monitoring aoo from Rewire. Activating the device and installing it went extremely smoothly. It was interesting in the airport departure lounge to watch the car move from the drop off point to its parking slot. The driver took the direct route to the parking area and kept well within the speed limit. Every day I could easily check the car (tracker) had not moved in the preceding 24 hours. All reassuring. Of course, if you are up to no good the wife will know exactly where the car is any given moment and can call up the history log.
it is a very good buy and you can contact rewire at any time for advice .
Brief review from the point of view of a professional investigator.
The unit does everything as described (almost, it’s minimum refresh times are 10 seconds not 3).
Set up is fairly straightforward if you are tech savvy, especially as it’s good to go out the box, albeit with default settings.
Things to note… you have to contact customer service for your 1 year free subscription (very painless, uk based).
The app is good, but for full functionality when setting up – log on using a desktop. Many more configuration options available (eg configuring notifications).
One major flaw, on the mobile app if you are using this in the field – the map doesn’t scroll. So if you view the tracker position, as the tracker moves the map doesn’t. Pretty useless if you are trying to follow the tracker whilst driving at the same time – other brands have nailed this.
Oh the whole, brilliant product with some limitations for professional use.
This seems to be a substantial piece of kit. Solid and well made. The web site states that it works straight out of the box which suggested to me that I just top up the sim card and install in the car. However, there is a link to the website to download the manual. This runs to 32 pages! So not really plug and play. Got to about page 5 and was completely lost. Loads of codes to send via text that do lots of different things but doesn’t look like it can be remotely switched on and off. I don’t want it tracking me when I ‘m in the car. I just need something that is simple to switch on and off for example, at night or when I park somewhere away from home. I’m sure this would be OK for some people but not me.
I purchased this 4 weeks not much to say really. Awesome does everything it’s say briilliant. Great value and easy to use. Going to purchase a second one as so pleased.
This is such a simple tracking device and small enough to hide basically anywhere in the car.
It took me about 10 minutes to get it up and running with basic features and then about another half an hour to setup alerts.
I had an issue with the GPSLive Website where I couldn’t figure out how to setup a Geofence.
I emailed their support and within about half an hour, they came back with a response to the issue I was having
Excellent customer service so far!
The battery in the tracker seems to last ages too, it’s been installed now for about a week and the battery seems to be lasting well. I was expecting it to only last about a week or two.
I would highly recommend this tracker as it’s easy to use, excellent customer service and most of all, peace of mind.
2 Year Update: Had this fitted to my car now for 2 years and it hasn’t let me down once.
My car had to go in for extensive repair to the front passenger side when I hit a curb.
The garage who repaired it decided to take it for a bit of a joy ride at 141 mph down the motorway.
Having this tracker fitted allowed me to catch them out.
They literally couldn’t argue when I presented them with the hard evidence on paper which I Printed from GPS Live
Other than possible theft recovery, It’s worth just having one fitted for the purpose of monitoring your vehicle when it goes in for repair or valet.
Absolutely brilliant
Every time my van moves I get a message and I can track in real time excellent value
Like the build quality not so sure about app asking for extra subscription for things that should be included yearly subscription is fine but also for full functionality of app u have to add extra however u can just text it and bypass most of apps cost features and get the same results
will it work in France & the rest of the continent ????
This was my best buy in the whole of 2018! I just love this and I’ve just had it only over a week. If you need a GPS tracker – go for this one!
Delivery was super-efficient as always, as was the packaging – thank you Amazon! Set up was pretty easy too – I used my own giffgaff sim card rather than the one supplied. Setting up the tracker was done in less than 10mins – it’s really easy using either their website or app. I contacted Support to have the 1year free subscriptions activated – they responded within 24hrs.
I have not hardwired it and my cig.lighter is in an awkward place so will not use it. It does not come with USB charging (support explained why via email) so for now, I have just placed it in my car fully charged but may need to either hardwire at some point. Some buyers suggested charging it via a power bank but as you cannot charge it via USB, not sure how this will be done. For now, I’ll be charging it at home -after a week of use, the battery is still at 100%
Having placed the tracker in my car, I totally forgot it’s there the next day – only to be notified via email/app that a movement was detected – approx 2mins after I set off. I just love those notifications 🙂 may need to set up a separate email address dedicated purely for this as I am getting a lot of notifications in one trip but love the fact that you’re notified where your car is – you can also track it live via the app.
Cost-wise – it’s not the cheapest tracker but definitely a quality one and so far reliable. The annual subscription is currently offered at 20/year which is still worth it – hopefully it will still cost the same once my free 1year expires. On top of the subscription you’ll also have the sim/package cost – not sure how much this will be but planning 5/month. For this, you’ll have a peace of mind that your precious car/bike/relative … whoever/whatever… is protected and you know exactly where it is.
All in all, I am really glad I opted for this tracker – there are a lot of other features you can use e..g cut off the engine remotely, see how much fuel is left etc – but it works great pretty much right our of the box. 100% recommend
I brought a cheaper tracker from Amazon and had to return it after trying to set it up for nearly half the day.
Then got me one of these.
Set up time was around half an hour.
I did have to contact customer service and got to talk to someone in the uk straight away, who answered my question without any confusion.
I would highly recommend this product.
This is the second unit I’ve brought great product and super support when calling rewire to answer a questio
Update :
It is working very well.
The app works better compare to two years ago and most of time very acurate( less than a 2_3 meters error, which you can’t name it even an error).
Excellent offer sale support.
it’s good as described.
About one year free GPS live subscription, you have to call them to have it.
Update:I had problem with the unit, and I took it straight to their rewire security , they sort it out in less than 20minutes,
Very polite and helpful. Excellent customer services.
An excellent product, hardwired into my vehicle and very setup. Would be very simple to install without concealment but preferred the option of it being hidden. I made an error in registering for the GPS live and forgot to input my device serial number. Consequently I received an automated email asking me for payment, an email to customer service resolved this promptly with a quick response. So my view is that customer service is excellent.
GPSLive software is excellent and geofences were easy to set up.
One suggestion for the software would be the option to receive a call rather than a text if the vehicle moves during for a set up alert, most of us switch our phones to silent on an evening and this mutes texts.
Will be buying anothe
This tracker is awesome! It’s pretty accurate and the price is great. I got the magnetic waterproof case. A definite must have if you’re really tracking your car in order to improve its security. The device allows me to track the driving behaviour of my son and lets me know if he’s speeding. The service is easy to setup and use. The tracker is very small and it’s very durable. Rewire’s customer service is great! Eager to help and very understanding. Great company, go with Rewire Security! You won’t regret it.
Not really any instruction with it as had to go online, would’ve given it a 5 but the sim card won’t sty in it so I can’t call it for a location other then tht brillia
Instead of driving around behind people I am tracking I use the magnet to attach to their vehicle to check where they are. Joking, I get a discount on my insurance for fitting a tracker. It also gives handy push notices if the driver is speeding.
So far so good, not connected it to the battery ye
Received this last night, had to charge it for 8 hours, registered the SIM this morning read the the Manual (OH YES READ THE MANUAL) configured it in about 30mins.
So whats the catch – none.
I have used trackers for 2 years, this one is accurate and relatively simple to use but you need to heed the advice given in the box do that and its all secure and ready to go. The SIM comes partially configured all you have to do is register and part with 10.00 for PAYG. Well pleased compared to my other trackers. I will buy again for my other cars / assets.
It’s a great bit of kit when working.
I hard wired mine into the car so I could use the engine cut off facility via a text message.
The only thing I didn’t like was the instructions you download.
To activate text controls it says the default admin password is 13142324 when it is actually 123456.
After I figured this out everything worked perfectly.
The only other thing that wasn’t made very clear is that although you get access to GPSLive it wasn’t made clear that you have to purchase credit to send SMS commands to the tracker or recieve SMS notifications from it.
50 SMS Credits cost 12.50,
100 cost 20
200 cost 35
500 cost 70.
I guess this makes the tracker pretty flexible because you can either remember the text commands and use you’re phone credit or purchase extra GPSLive credits and use the app making it a little more expensive to run but easier to use.
If you are wanting to hard wire it you will need to know your way around a cars electrics otherwise it’s probably best to pay an auto electrician.
Overall it is still a fantastic bit of kit and well worth the investment.
It shouldn’t take long for it to pay for itself on cheaper insurance premiums.
In the early hours my house was broken into and the keys to my car were taken and stolen from my driveway.
Whilst my wife was on the phone to the police I made a call to the tracker which immediately came back with a location in a car park 3 miles away. These details were passed on directly to the police who were still on the phone and the car located within 5 minutes. The car has now been moved to a secure compound and will be returned to me after locks etc have been changed.
Without the tracker the car would probably have had false number plates and spirited away.
The police officers were delighted to have potential evidence and their enquiries are ongoing. There were also amazed at how such a system is available at such a reasonable cost.
Once up and running this has proved to an excellent produc
Quite great tracker for the cost. Easy to instal and ready to go. Enjoying i
Great bit of kit.Fitted and set up in minutes.Like another reviewer mentioned I was surprised to get an email that my subscription was due for renewal only 4 days after I bought it.However an email to thier excellent customer service sorted it out within an hour.Got to say the after sales has been superb up to date.
The tracker is fairly easy to set up. Don’t use the sim provided with the unit as it can work out expensive, instead purchase a cheap sim from O2 or other provider which gives you cheap texts. The reviews stated that you could get lifetime GPS for 20, the service now costs 60 or 10 a year so consider this before purchasing this unit. The tracker can be tracked on your phone or iPad, the unit alerts you with a text when it moves. There are other useful functions such as tracking history. I am pleased with the unit so far.
great bit of kit
well worth every penny
would definitely recommend this
This is a fantastically versatile and cost effective tracker, I am using it as a vehicle tracker, it is concealed and hardwired. When it first arrived I simply charged it and used it on it own, and to be honest if you dn5 m8nd taking it off and charging it every few weeks, you don’t need to hardware it.
However I have hardwired, if you are unfamiliar with how cars are put together, it’s probably best getting a professional to do the installation for you, but for a competent DIY’r/home mechanic it shouldn’t be a problem.
It’s a VERY SMALL price to pay for peace of mind!
So far in less than a week the tracker has tracked my vehicle for 400+ miles some of that was a trip to Cambridge. I’m pretty impressed with it and the battery life is fantastic. It wasn’t a full charge but still at 100%
I didn’t use the supplied SIM card I used a gift gaff sim with a goody bag.
Haven’t used the text service at all I have t the need as using the app I can locate and track the vehicle or where its been parked and for how long.
Using the live track is very basic but if you use the search option and filter to “today” it’s a more precise view than live track.
To be updated with better details as I use it more
Easy to use and much more useful then I first thought.
Expensive and you do need to register and top up a pre paid Sim Card. But this is a fantastic tracker and product. No hassle to set up and it works like a dream, the app allows you to track activity in the car well
The tracker is great, discrete and effective, although the setup isn’t a straightforward as expected / indicated. The supplied kit is excellent with everything required to permanently install the unit (as I’ve done) or to temporarily install the unit. The battery life has proven excellent with tweaks to put the unit to sleep whilst stationary (prior to permanent installation). The only negative comment would be that that it’s a bit mendacious within the description, as the GPSLive subscription appeared to expire in about a week rather than a year, requiring a new subscription to be added. As the unit has been permanently installed this isn’t a major issue as the vehicle will require monitoring pass the 12 month period but was annoying because the expectation was that a year’s subscription was included in the purchase price. Would recommend to anyone looking for a competitive vehicle tracking solution.
Received the tracker just before I left for Spain. I was very impressed with the GPS Tracking and quality of information provided
Excellent piece of kit!
Update 2018: i’ve just bought my secound 104-pro, very good units
The whole packaging and unit is very well-built, the supplied mobile Sim i used to set everything up but i put a giffgaff sim in straight away as my phone uses a giffgaff sim and giffgaff to giffgaff text and call communication are free, all I have to do is top up the giffgaff sim every three months with 10
download the two apps for your iPhone or iPad, one is a configuration app which is worth using as it saves you having to type different texts to the unit and the other is the gpslive so you can see the details of what your gpstracker is upto.
I have set the unit up onto the fuel pump so I can send the kill command to it and it wil make the engine stall If it was to get stolen.
Don’t forget to email gpslive with your imei number so they can activate your free one year subscriptio
Great service tracker easy to fit and work would recommend
The unit arrives quickly, is nicely packaged, and already has the included Lyca sim inside the unit ready to go.
You need to top it up and you’re ready to track.
Here’s when you find out that this thing is potentially a money pit and here’s why:
Every time you update any settings on the device via the app – you’re actually sending it an SMS. The unit will automatically respond with an SMS message confirming the changes. For example if you want to switch the unit from tracking mode to listening mode, you set it via the app, and the unit sends you a message back confirming the change.
And SMS messages cost 19p on the included sim. That means you’re going to burn through a 5 top-up just configuring it to do what you want.
I put 10 on it, and started setting it up by sending it messages. I didn’t receive any confirmations, so assuming something was wrong with my settings I persevered. Turns out the unit had no signal, and when it established signal again it sent me the whole backlog of confirmations in 1 go, burning through about 4 of credit. The rest only lasted 1 more week.
Even if you set it up very efficiently using a 5 top up, to never need to top up you’d have to disable all the alarms and status messages, response messages, basically half of it’s functionality, leaving it blind and dumb and only being able to just track it via gpslive.
So really you’re going to want to be using a giffgaff sim which at the moment is the best deal for this tracker – 100mb data and 500 sms/month – this is 5 monthly.
So, expect to pay 60/year to run it, +the gpslive renewal when 1st year runs out.
Other observations are:
– great on-board battery life.
– great that it includes both GPRS and GPS aerials to maximise reception on your install.
– uses the well-known reliable Coban GPS and GSM modules.
– the unit it pretty much the same as the chinese devices costing a lot less, bit the support and user experience is quite polished, which is really what you’re paying 90 for.
– the app works well, and Gpslive is brilliant (which you get a 1yr access to).
– the magnetic base is strong, but adds a lot of weight. I opened the case up and removed the magnet, because i’m hard-installing it on my bike.
– the charging port is not a conventional port. It’s a 4 pin header and requires the use of the supplied 12v power brick. A little inconvenient if you’re not hard-wiring the device.
This is a good Tracker, The set up instructions are Clear. The Actual User manual from the website is detailed but some part is still Chinglish(Chinese English).The Charging port and chargers should have been universal Mini USB for Durability as I find this charger flimsy, This has been noted by another reviewer.
Overall and so far, this is a great piece of Kit . I have ordered a gif gaff SIM card to use with this device as I think lycamobile is more expensive . 0.19 for a single text response from the device.
It comes with free subscription for a year afterwards, it’s 10 a year or 20 for life. You can also use their website for tracking.
Not bad considering the Price.
Easy to use and fairly discreet considering the battery size. Waterproof case is too small and effects how the magnet sticks when in use. However is fairly rugged and showerproof anyway.
I bought the 104pro after first ordering and using there smaller model the 102nano which I was very impressed with.
The 104pro is a fanatic tracking device
It has a super strong magnet
Long battery life I’ve been getting over 4 weeks off a charge.
I use the 104pro in live tracking mode on gpslive.co.uk on the same account as my first 102nano tracker.
I can login on my phone or a computer see where both my trackers are. Watch them move live as well as load and view the history of where they have been.
I also love the real time email and SMS text message alerts I have setup on gpslive for speed, and leaving and entering zones. If I could give this tracker 100 stars I would.
Very impressed, delivered on time, works as expected, very easy website to use and track my vehicle….only complaint is the connection for the charger of both the in-car charger and the mains charger is a bit flimsy – but – considering it shouldn’t need charging for a while this issue shouldn’t really be a concern – repetitive plugging and unplugging of the charger and this is the part which would fail first i’m sure. However this is well worth the money. Easy to top up the sim card, easy to set the unit up, easy to use the website and gives the street and EXACT location of my vehicle so it does what it says on the tin – as they say.
Bought about a month ago, after a tip off from the local police that theft of vehicles was on the increase. Sure enough, 3 weeks later my car was nicked from the drive and thanks to this tracker, the police managed to retrieve the vehicle within 2 hours of notifying them.
Positives :
Fairly discreet device – about the size of a block of butter. Good magnet on the base, but wouldn’t trust it under the vehicle.
Excellent price – similar devices being sold by others for nearly twice as much.
Easy set up – clear instructions provided with excellent support from rewire. Emails responded to very quickly. Sim card provided.
Wide range of functions – but easy to default to the basics.
Decent battery life – depending on the various mode you set, the battery lasts for a couple of months. I’ve had it on the basic sleep mode which means that it dozes off after 5 minutes of inactivity. A call or text to the tracker results in a quick response with GPS coords, link to google maps, battery life and speed of vehicle. Even on this mode, the tracker continues to send data via GPRS to the GPSlive server. After 10 days I’m still on 100% battery.
Very easy to operate – responds to texts/calls or can be tracked live using the very intuitive GPS live website. Tons of data recorded, even in sleep mode and it’s very easy to generate reports of the vehicle activity.
GPS really quick to get a fix, and so far pinpoint accurate.
Negatives :
At this price, can’t think of any.
I bought this to replace a 103 (might of been 102) model similar product. That one had no concept of standby or sleep mode so was draining the battery of my up and coming rare car that it protects. After about 5 days standing, the car battery was drained enough for the car not to start. This one however has 3 different sleep modes. I wired this in which was pretty easy. The main connector was different so I needed to replace it. But the GPS and gprs antennas were the same so I used the existing ones in my car. Programmed it all up with my GiffGaff SIM installed, sent it to sleep. Tried moving the car and it alerted me. Popped the car back and it went to sleep again. Left for the car for over a week on my drive and it started first time. Definitely the one I should have bought in the first place. Thinking of getting another for my second car now.
This is an excellent tracker with plenty of functions that works straight out of the box. There is a quick start guide and a more detailed user manual you can download from the Rewire Security website. The GPS Live Website for viewing the whereabouts of your tracker is also excellent. Just email Rewire Security with your IMEI number from the label on the side of your tracker and they very quickly set you up with your free subscription for a year. I’m very impressed with this great little device and thoroughly recommended it for anyone looking for a high quality, reliable and simple to use tracker, which has all the additional functionality you could wish for. Well done Rewire Security on a great job.
