The OBD GPS Tracker G08 is a compact, plug-and-play OBD-II tracking unit optimized for Plaspy compatible deployments. Designed for rental cars, taxis, fleet vehicles and light trucks, the G08 delivers reliable GPS + BeiDou positioning with LBS fallback and a set of vehicle alarms that make it ideal for real-time tracking, anti-theft monitoring and straightforward fleet management rollouts.
Because the G08 draws power directly from the vehicle OBD port (DC 9V–35V) and includes a 180 mAh backup battery, it provides continuous telemetry and alerting even during short power interruptions. Plaspy-ready integration means you can quickly add the G08 into your Plaspy fleet for live location, overspeed alerts, movement/vibration alarms and power-off notifications without complex wiring or long installation windows.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible OBD-II plug-in installation for fast, non-invasive deployment across fleets.
- Accurate positioning using GPS + BeiDou (BD) with LBS fallback — typical accuracy around 5 meters.
- Continuous power via OBD port (DC 9V–35V) plus 3.7V/180 mAh backup battery for temporary offline operation.
- Multiple vehicle alarms: overspeed, movement, vibration and power-off notifications for anti-theft protection.
- Compact, unobtrusive ABS housing (51 × 47 × 23 mm, 42 g) suited for passenger cars, taxis and trucks.
- Low standby and working current for minimal impact on vehicle electrical systems.
- Internal antennas simplify installation and reduce visual footprint inside the cabin.
How It Works with Plaspy
The G08 sends location fixes, status messages and alarm events over cellular connection to Plaspy, where they appear in real-time on the platform. Plaspy ingests the G08 telemetry for live tracking, historical replay, geofencing, and configurable alerts. Integration is plug-and-play: insert the G08 into the vehicle OBD port, confirm the device on Plaspy, and start receiving position and alarm data immediately.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates: GPS + BD positions and LBS fallback streamed to Plaspy for live tracking.
- Overspeed, movement and vibration alarms appear as instant events inside Plaspy dashboards and alert rules.
- Power-off and DC input detection sent to Plaspy for anti-theft and maintenance workflows.
- Optional internal microphone input available for audio event capture where regulations and consent allow.
- Plaspy supports telemetry aggregation and can complement G08 data with ignition, fuel monitoring or immobilizer inputs when combined with other compatible modules — enabling richer fleet analytics.
