Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this different from the Hardwire Classic?

Three things: an internal backup battery that keeps the device tracking even after vehicle power is cut, MIL-STD-810G vibration rating for heavy industrial use, and a wider operating temperature range.

How long does the backup battery last after power is cut?

Long enough to continue pinging for several hours — giving you a real-time recovery trail from the moment of disconnection.

Is it safe for exterior mounting?

Yes. IP67 sealing means it withstands pressure washing, rain, mud, and immersion up to 1 meter. Exterior frame, undercarriage, or any exposed location is fine.

Does it need a professional installer?

Recommended, especially due to the waterproof connector requirements. Typically 15–20 minutes for an experienced shop technician.

Does the backup battery charge while the vehicle is running?

Yes. The internal battery recharges from vehicle power during normal operation.
