In this video we go over a basic overview on how you can install a TrackMateGPS tracker on your car and the included relay for kill switch. Hardwired so it can’t be removed (like Bouncie) or noticed by guests (like AirTags). Plans starting as low as $10/month, no contracts.

Sharing my car sharing journey for those that want to join but don’t know where to start or how it works.
Absolutely phenomenal, thank you. Clear, to the point. Im putting one on a truck and you made it very easy for me to identify power/ground/Accessory. Thank you
I’m glad it helped! Thanks for watching and commenting! 😊
I’ve been searching for months on a tutorial, diy, or how to video for this specific model of gps tracker with kill switch relay! Thank you for the upload! Hopefully install goes well !
Thanks! I hope it helps. I just did a basic install since every car is different, but let me know if you have any questions, maybe I can help you figure it out. This is my 5th or 6th install now. Lol.
@@CarSharingJho I'm planning to do 1 on a Toyota land cruiser 2018 smart key can you give me some advice any how please?
@@CarSharingJho that’s a lot of work. To install the GPS
@@dashtyATG for the keyless entry vehicle you will have to install a relay to the fuel pump near the fuse box or ACC relay inside the engine bay.
This video and comments were very helpful thank you so much
Good job !!
It looks pretty easy.
Excellent explication.
Do more videos…….
You are amazing thanking you enurmusly it's really good video.
Awesome!!!..Thank you soooooo very much. This is very helpful. A blessing it is!!!
Good informative video, thank you. Good luck.❤✌👍
WOW! This is very informative, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Knowing how to install a tracker is the best way to locate and uninstall a tracker that is still active on a vehicle you just purchased
Yeah we’ve actually found old trackers on two of our cars. Probably from when they were financed long ago.
Good video brother
Appreciate it! Let me know if you have any questions on your install and I'll try to help!
@@CarSharingJho Thank you
Thanks bro
Yes Sir this video was super helpful me as well. Just have one question please.
I can’t seem to find how to activate the kill switch in the app. Is it in Groups page? On off slider?
Thank you Sir
Im not sure where the groups page is. But to activate the kill switch you click on your vehicle on the app and then click the up arrow ( ^ ) there you will see the option to "disable ignition."
Will it work on the latest AMGs, and if so will I need to hire any professional audio installer or take it to Mercedes to have them do it instead?
Happy new year by the way, great video, after so many months it's still helpful.
Thank you! Yes it will work on virtually any vehicle! For an AMG, I would recommend hiring a professional installer. I've heard Best Buy installs these trackers as well.
@@CarSharingJho thank you for replying me within 5 hours, advice and your wonderful service. GOD bless you.
All you needed to do is drop the driver side panel, wire off the ignition. Wrap with electrical to mimic factory style, get on your back and mount high behind the cluster, tie strap, clean up the routing of harness, finished. 30 minutes max.
Mine said to ,Find and cut off the anodic wire of oil pump wire, connect two green line to each side of cutted oil pump wire . ? The relay looks just like the one you have with green wires and everything should I do same set up?
I don't know why disabling the oil pump would be a good idea. Unless the car recognizes that and disables the vehicle altogether. I wouldn't risk it.
I like disabling the ignition because it doesn't cause any major issues if the person keeps trying to turn it on or is somehow able to jump it another way.
I am planning to get into Turo and have been researching how to add a gps tracker. Thanks for the video. One question, I know that this requires a 4G LTE sim from either T Mobile or At&T. If I am not mistaken, both companies are planning or started killing the 4G LTE for 5G, How does this affect the TrackMate?
As far as I’m aware only 3G was phased out and 4G should be around for a couple more years.
@@CarSharingJho thanks for the quick reply.
Nice dog
Thanks. He just got a haircut!
Thank you for this amazing video. Please May I know where to get the app?
It’s on the App Store. But I prefer to use the web browser on “desktop mode” because the app is a little buggy right now.
What is the tool used to pinch the cable in order to read the voltage
wire piercing probe
When you hardwire, don't you need to add a fuse inline? Also, hardwiring, doesn't that overload the wire you're tapping into?
Only the 12v constant (red wire) is drawing power and it has a built in fuse inline.
Working power consumption is .78W and working current is 65mA.
I haven’t had any issues overloading a wire in 20+ cars I’ve wired it to.
You can also always connect the 12V constant to the battery as we did on our other video.
Hey bro do you know if you’re supposed to move the on/ off switch by where the sim card is on. Mine came in and it was leaning to the off side
Were you able to get this to work for you?
@@CarSharingJho i was but i need to still have it hooked up right. I need the diagram for this new truck
@@TexanSilverado which wires do you need help finding? I like to use commandocaralarms.com to help me figure out what color wires do what.
@@CarSharingJho how does it work?
@@CarSharingJho im still confused on which way the battery switch is supposed to be. Because the box has the switch saying
ON……=OFF……
…..-->……..

hey brother. If I purchase the T11 for example does it come with the kill switch? If not where would I get one? Thank you.
The kill switch and remote unlock is sold as the "accessory bundle." We bought off ours Amazon. It's $20 or a couple dollars cheaper if you buy them together.
The kill switch
Or Starter Interrupt
Is a relay that costs about 75 cents
$1.50 if you include the harness
The only person you are locking out is the one with the key.
Almost all vehicles after 1998 have some sort of immobilizer which is more sophisticated than a relay
I’ve installed car alarms on well over 10k cars
Cheap parts will get you stranded
Well I tried everything. Even paid for mechanic to telle where the starter wire is. I tried installing it myself but the kill switch doesn't work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. When I hit disengage starter, it says sent. Yet when I go to start it it starts right up. Does it take time for it to work or is it instant?
There is a 5-10 second delay.
Brother, I have a Prius, that means it doesn't have a starter. You know where could I find the correct wire to connect the ignition cutoff? Everything else is working properly, except the ign switch.
You could try hooking it up to the immobilizer or the fuel pump. What year is the Prius?
@@CarSharingJho 2007
Are you able to kill switch the vehicle if it is in another state?
Yes you can. As long as you are both in satellite signal.
Make a video on the track app itself showing what it has to offer, for example I’ve been trying to find a tracker that shows real time gps and speed the car is going, etc..
We have actually reached out to the makers of this tracker to see if they would like us to make them an in-depth video they can use on their website.
I will tell you one thing though, this tracker does not offer the ability to tell you the speed of the vehicle.
@@CarSharingJho ohh man sucks!!! I really want a tracker than can do that
@@richgenix some hosts use two trackers. Bouncie that monitors speeding, braking, on board computer, etc. And a hidden hardwired tracker like TrackMateGPS. That way if your guest disabled your OBD port Bouncie by unplugging it, you still have the backup TrackMateGPS to kill switch and remote door locks.
@@CarSharingJho I’ll consider and look into it thanks so much
I installed 4 of the "Dash T11" model in my neighbors cars, one was in his teenage son's Mustang. They work Great! There are 5 different "Service Plans" with the main difference being how quickly they update location so if you want real time location it will cost a little more but it is possible. This device got the son out of a racing ticket, by downloading the info from the tracker, he was able to show the Judge that the vehicle never broke the speed limit!
What plan did you go with on track mate ? Save plus premium plus ?
$10 “Saver” no plus for us.
Great job just wish you had broken it down like actually showing you connecting the wires, etc. Also a list of tools you used in the description.
Check out my other video where I break it down a bit more czcams.com/video/alPScCKM8pk/video.html
Hello Car Sharing Jho. I'm little confused about transferring the device for one vehicle to another? does it requires monthly service from provider? and what kind of SIM card requires? Thanks very helpful video. Might have another questions.
Transferring from one car to another is simply done by renaming the device on the app. I pay $10/month for every car through Trackmate's website. SIM car is already installed.
@@CarSharingJho .. one question. is the Trackmate shows where the ground and ignition switch cable are connected to the module along with the relay? is seem to be easy, but is not? specially thw relay and the ignition switch to the module. thanks.
Does this one have the door lock and unlock feature?
No. The one that does is the T11 model.
So u connected the kill switch with the ignition wire instead of the fuel pump?
Yes
Hi there, how long does it take for the tracker to work once connected? I installed this 3 hours ago and it still haven’t started tracking
Should be in less than an hour after you register it online and click on “installed”. Are you parked in a garage by chance?
@@CarSharingJho no I’m parked outside. I am based in the UK. All three lights are solid. I have spoke to customer support and they said they can’t get a connection with it
Do you have to pay a monthly fee for anything and if you do how much?
There’s plans from $10-$20 a month. We have the $10 a month one.
How about connecting this to the fuel relay instead of the ignition?
You can. I just didn't want people to not know it was disabled and keep cranking the starter and burn it out.
scramick yes That was my thought, the fuel line. on my opinion it is the best. On the start relay if you are driving a manual car, the engine can run by kick start the car
Nice video mate. Does the unit require monthly or annual fees to function? Do you know the site where I can purchase the unit? Thanks
$10 fee a month.
You can find it on Amazon!
How close you have to be to unlock doors and kill swith can i be miles away
You can do it from anywhere in the US!
Hi. Does this gps tracker come with the kill switch relay?
Yes the Hydro LTE does.
Thanks.for that reply. I was looking on the website to.purchase this but it didn't mention anything about a relay for a kill switch or.the ability to remote stop the vehicle with any of their monthly packages
@@Prosperous.king1 Sure thing. And yeah, the features are part of the monthly packages.
Does it use mobile data by default for real time tracking? Can i turn it off if i only want to track by sms? Cause data is expensive.
It uses 4G/LTE. It’s only $10 a month for the service so not very expensive.
Will the kill switch work with a push button start vehicle?
Yes
Do you have an email for private messaging?@@CarSharingJho
I would like to purchase one of your GPS trackers but I need help installing the kill switch.
What is the best kill-switch to use
TrackmateGPS works great!
Does tje killswitch work if the car is running?
It will enable, but it won’t do anything if to the car if it’s already on. It just won’t turn on the next time the person goes to turn it on.
It just disables the ignition.
@@CarSharingJho thanks man!
Which one to buy that has the kill switch?
If you just want a kill switch then the Hydro LTE is the one. If you want it to have door unlock feature too (which I recommend) then get the Dash T-11 with accessory bundle.
how hard would it be to install with no experience and in a 2019 vehicle
What make is it?
How will I track the car on my phone
Does it need app
Yes there is an app for it. TrackmateGPS.
Could you deactivate the car engine when you are away just in case you want to stop the car wherever it is? Thank you for your video
Turn off a running engine?
@@CarSharingJho yes
@@serviosilver9440 you would have wire it a bit differently but I wouldn’t recommend it. It could be dangerous and you might be held liable.
Basically I am looking for a GPS locator that I can install on the car at same I can be able to stop the car in case it gets stolen
@@serviosilver9440 this has a kill switch so that means that when the car is stolen and they turn it off, they won’t be able to start it back up again. And since you have the gps location you can go pick it up yourself.

I'm having issues finding a 12v constant in my 2020 Nissan Pathfinder.
One of these can help you test wires better. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08NY89V7D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
There should be one going to the display. But if you ultimately cannot find one, you can run one from the battery. I did it here in minute 4 of my other video. czcams.com/video/alPScCKM8pk/video.html&ab_channel=CarSharingJho
@@CarSharingJho I just don't want someone to try something and figure out where the gps is being wired from
How about LoraWAN Version for GPS & Kill Switch?
I'm not sure what that means.
We'll I got the first two wires correct but when I tried to do the kill switch. It didn't work. I have a push button start so I'm not sure how thai going to work. Please help.

Any main ignition wire should work or you can try cutting the starter wire in the engine bay like in my other video.
@@CarSharingJho ok I'll have to find that
@@CarSharingJho How do you find all these wires? I can't find any documents on where certain wires are located for my 2020 Pathfinder
@@TheDwilliams1000 testing each wire behind the stereo and by the steering wheel.
@@CarSharingJho wow. When testing do I use my probes or do I have to poke each wire like you did?
Will the car switch off whilst moving
Being wired this way, it will not. It just will not turn on again when they try to start it again.
I have failed make car tracker online.
How do i get to it.
If it’s not working through the website you can call TrackMateGPS support and they’ll get it setup in no time.

This is a good basic overview of what to expect when installing this device. But DO NOT watch this video and then think you're going to have a breeze installing this kit with zero auto-electrical experience. I am currently repairing a car that was damaged due to improper installation of this device. It is a nightmare of a repair. There are multiple modules that now have to be replaced and reprogrammed costing our customer thousands.
PLEASE hire a professional if you don't know what you're doing. You may end up paying more in repairs then it would've cost to have this professionally installed to begin with.
🥺 What kind of car was it and which part of the installation was it that damaged their vehicle?
@@CarSharingJho2007 Audi A6. Probably the worst kind of vehicle to be doing any electrical modification on tbh. There were so many bare loose wires touching each other/grounding out on things that weren't supposed to be, one of the wires that had been cut into was on the SRS circuit. The PCM is not grounding out 1 of the 2 relays for the starter solenoid intermittently, tail lights do not work on the driver's side (bulbs and circuit board have continuity). And radio may or may not turn on KOEO That's just what I've found so far 😅
@@YuckFou0x0FFFF Yikes 😱 that sounds really bad! Anything with the SRS always scares me. Hope it’s not a huge headache and hope they are paying you well lol. It’s going to be like solving a big electrical puzzle.
What kind of professional do you hire for this? A mechanic?
@@growwithme6611 any reputable car audio installer should be capable of installing this. It’s not a complicated system and no different than an aftermarket alarm.
Can you connect this kill switch to the fuel pump?
Yes you can.
@@CarSharingJho is it just as effective?
@@MiketheM1K3 I personally prefer the ignition switch or starter.
If it’s just the fuel pump, the person trying to start it could damage the starter in the process if they don’t know it’s kill switched. They would just keep trying to turn it on.
@@CarSharingJho ohh. Couldn’t the engine become flooded with the starter method if they keep trying?
Hello sir please I want you to help me through the installation of luxury cars
Sure thing. Which part do you need help with?

Thanks please
What happens if the battery dies?
If the car battery dies, this model has a built in battery that should still last a couple of days.
Won't this drain my battery with constant power? I want to get this but I don't want to pay for another battery
I've had car sit for 2 weeks (during winter) and didn't drain the battery. It's small battery, like 600mAh or something like that.
@@CarSharingJho thanks. I just bought the same one. Hopefully I can install it myself.
@@TheDwilliams1000 Good luck. Buy some posi-taps to make the wire connecting a breeze. I wish I used them in this video. a.co/d/a7MBQNy Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
@@CarSharingJho posi taps? Are those the t taps you used in the video or no?
@@TheDwilliams1000 I used some old school ones. These are better a.co/d/1j0BYmu
I recently created a copy of my car keys and controller, but I'm afraid because the took my keys and controller for at least 15 mins and they went to room to get the copy of it. Could they installed a GPS on my car while they took my keys? Im afraid they can steal it
Very unlikely a business would do that.
What is a non powered cable?
12v power runs directionally. So when you cut a wire, one side will have power coming from it and the other side will not (the non-powered wire).
will this gps work in Mexico?
Yes!
@@CarSharingJho what about South Africa? Does it work everywhere around the world?
@@jorosimingo7083 it works off sprint and at&t 4G satellites, so not sure what you use in South Africa.
So what is the reason for this install? I did not catch it on the vid.
We use them primarily to keep track of our rental cars and disable them if need be. Some people can use them to locate their stolen vehicles or as an anti-theft device.
@@CarSharingJho i have got to subscribe to you guys. Great explanation and very quick response. I salute you for doing these videos to help others. I wish your continue success. 👏
Could you kill the vehicle while its running
The way this is wired, if you click “disable” on the app while the car is running, it would just not turn on next time they try to start the vehicle. It’s only controlling the ignition.
@@CarSharingJho oh ok, thank you.
If you wired it to cut the fuel then it would stop the car whilst running.
Does the app need internet to work?
Yes it uses cell service (included in the monthly plan).
how easy to hookup on motorcycle
I’ve never done it on a motorcycle, but I imagine it would be just as easy as a car if not easier. GPS requires just 3 wires (contstant power, accessory/ignition and a ground). The kill switch you would just have to find a wiring diagram online and figure out which wire is for starter or ignition.
@@CarSharingJho Thanks
Pls how can I get the device
Find it on Amazon. “TrackMateGPS”
What is the cost of the tools
About $20-$30. Nothing fancy and I already had everything. -James
what if my car is electric?
Sorry, I have never dealt with an EV.
Is there an app?
Yes there is.
@@CarSharingJho I just ordered today. 375 for one tracker unit and three year plan
@@jayp_srt which one did you order?
@@CarSharingJho He didn’t give me a item number. He said it will have to be wired in. I will be able to track in real time, able to set boundaries, and I can tell if someone is tampering with it
@@jayp_srt I just didn't know TrackmateGPS sold it as a 3 year plan.
Can this turn off the car remotely
The way I wired it, you can disable it from starting again, but it won’t shut it off while it’s on.
Why didn’t you just put the tracker behind the radio?
I did in my other video. You can place it anywhere as long as the tracker doesn't have metal above it blocking the signal.
Mine came with a whole different thing mine came with a obd 2 port for power and a panic button
Yes that's new! Can now monitor gas level and miles.
...That car is in serious need of some tlc.
Yeah we buy all our cars for super cheap because they need work. Lol. This one never made it to Turo though.
You forgot to show if the kill switch works with the engine on
It won’t do anything if you enable the kill switch while the car is on. It just won’t turn on the next time.
That car is filthy, and you rent it out to people?
We install trackers before renting out the cars. So this one was not ready yet.
Our cars are vacuumed and cleaned before every single trip. I have another video on our process there too.
why do all that nonsense risking damaging the whole electic system, and computer system of the car, especially with that crapyy amateur's company, when there numerous far better options?
like magnetic attach devices that last for a year, or only need to hardwire the power, and work even if battery disconnected, do a proper video with those devices, beside this amateur's hour stuff u did in this one
Magnetic attach devices don't have kill switch.
