    We purchased the TKStar TK905 and it works really well. So well that it was bloody stolen and we even knew where the thieves were.
    We've since purchased a new one and it will be connected directly to the car battery and not thrown in the glove box.

    There’s an upgraded model called the GF21. It’s not too much more expensive but it has an actual GPS chip inside it. And it’s precise too.

    I don't know the technicality as explained by this guy, but he's right.... This thing is rubbish
    I bought one of these, setting it up wasn't a problem HOWEVER, I have 2 issues with it
    1) The location is NOT accurate.... Had my car parked outside my house with the tracker in it, got the location and it showed my car was on a different street in my local hospital grounds..... I went to pickup some car parts the following day and while inside the store I got my location once again, it showed my location on the opposite side of the dual carriageway in a totally different industrial estate
    2) I've tried to download the app for three days in the hope that it would make a difference in regards to getting a more accurate location, and everyday it keeps telling me registering device please try later
    From my experience I'd say this is absolutely rubbish. What good is it if you'd stole my car, parked it on your drive but this thing is telling me it's somewhere else

    100% agree. Do not buy these as they are very misleading. People are still selling them today. They are as useful as a chocolate fireguard. Throw in the bin. I did challenge the seller and they said it was good. I pointed out they were not for a number of reasons one of which is explained in this video. The 777 gave us back the location in Chinese. This was of no value to us. The instruction as do not agree with what they did.

    I too have the same problem, the red light doesn't go out, how can I fix it? When I call the phone number, the answer is "out of order".
