GPS tracker installation in Melbourne
Get a GPS tracker installed at C1 Automotive in Oakleigh South.
$499 fitted: a hardwired tracker, routed cleanly and out of sight, with the app on your phone, a remote immobiliser and the first 12 months of tracking included. After that, tracking is $99 a year. A GPS tracker gives you location visibility — we do not claim it prevents theft or guarantees vehicle recovery.
What a GPS tracker does.
A GPS tracker records and transmits a vehicle's location in real time or at set intervals, depending on the unit and SIM or subscription plan. This can be useful for monitoring a work vehicle, keeping track of a personal vehicle or managing a small fleet.
The tracker we fit comes set up in the app with its SIM and the first 12 months of tracking. From the app you can see where the car is and stop it from being started. If you already have a tracker, we can fit that instead; its SIM and plan stay with its own provider. We do not claim installation prevents theft or guarantees vehicle recovery.

GPS tracker questions.
- What is a hardwired GPS tracker?
- A hardwired GPS tracker connects to the vehicle's electrical system for a permanent power source. It draws a small amount of current and does not rely on an internal battery. We route the wiring discreetly so the unit is not easily spotted.
- How much is a GPS tracker?
- $499 fitted. That covers the tracker, hardwired and hidden, the app on your phone, a remote immobiliser and the first 12 months of tracking. After the first year, tracking is $99 a year. Prices include GST.
- Does the tracker need a SIM card or subscription?
- Ours comes with the SIM and the first 12 months of tracking included. After that it is $99 a year to keep tracking. A tracker you buy yourself usually needs its own SIM and plan from its maker.
- Can I stop the car from the app?
- Yes. The tracker we fit includes a remote immobiliser: from the app you can stop the car from being started, for example if it has been stolen. It is for a vehicle you own or are authorised to manage.
- Can I use a GPS tracker I have already purchased?
- In many cases, yes. Send us the model details before booking and we can confirm whether we are able to install it, what wiring is involved, and whether any specific placement is possible in your vehicle.
- Will the GPS tracker affect my car's electrics?
- A correctly installed hardwired tracker draws very little current and should not cause electrical issues. We wire it from an appropriate fuse point to minimise any draw on the vehicle.
- How long does GPS tracker installation take?
- A straightforward hardwired installation typically takes one to two hours, depending on the vehicle and how discreetly the unit needs to be placed.
- What if I can't work out how to use it?
- Bring the car back. If we installed it and, after using it for a while, you're not sure how something works, we'll go through it with you. There's no charge for that.
