ShadowAuto is a plug-in OBD-II GPS tracker for anyone who wants to know where their car or truck is, without wiring, tools, or a technician. Plug it into your vehicle's OBD-II port and it starts sending live location updates every 5 seconds while you are moving. Built for families watching over a teen driver or an aging parent's car, and for small businesses running a few work trucks, ShadowAuto pairs a permanent, vehicle-powered setup with real-time alerts for crashes, speeding, curfews, device removal, and geofence breaches, all through the ShadowGPS app on iOS and Android. It also reads your vehicle's OBD-II diagnostics, so you can catch a check-engine code or a low battery before it becomes a breakdown. Review a full year of trip history with animated route replay, and manage every vehicle on your account from one dashboard. ShadowAuto is backed by a US-based team with secure data handling and real support. A ShadowGPS service plan is required. No contract, ever: month-to-month, or prepay and save.
- Plug It In. Tracking Starts In Under 2 Minutes: No tools, no wiring, no technician. Plug ShadowAuto into your car or truck OBD-II port and it starts tracking. Works with gas vehicles from 1996 or newer and most diesel models. The low-profile shape sits flush and out of the way, so it works just as well in a family car as it does across a few work trucks.
- Live Location Every 5 Seconds, With Smart Alerts: Follow your car or truck in real time in the ShadowGPS app, with location updating every 5 seconds while you are moving. Get instant alerts for crash detection, speeding, curfews, device removal, ignition events, and geofence breaches. Share live location with family or a co-worker, and view live traffic to make smarter, safer calls on the road.
- Engine Health, Battery & Check-Engine Alerts: ShadowAuto reads your vehicle's OBD-II diagnostics so you can stay ahead of costly repairs. Watch battery voltage and fuel level, and get real-time alerts for check-engine codes right in the app. Catch problems while they are still small, whether it is the family car or a truck you cannot afford to have sitting.
- 1-Year Trip History, Route Replay & Full App Control: Review up to 12 months of trips including start and end times, stops, routes, mileage, and speeds. Replay any trip with animated route playback. Rename devices, manage several vehicles from one account, and add users. Available on iOS, Android, and the web.
- No Contract, US-Based Support & Every Feature Included: ShadowAuto is backed by a US-based team with secure data handling and real customer support you can reach. Every feature is included on every plan: live tracking, trip history, route replay, geofences, curfews, and crash alerts. No contract, ever. Pick your term, stay month-to-month or prepay, and cancel any time from the app. Every vehicle after the first is billed at a lower rate on the same account.

Q: Will It cut off when u cut the vehicle off or does it stay on
A: Great question! ShadowGPS device keeps tracking even after you turn the vehicle off and it's parked. While parked, it checks the car's location every 4 hours, so your location stays accurate and up to date even when the engine isn't running. It won't simply cut off when you shut the vehicle down.
Q: If I have multiple devices can I view them in one app?
A: Absolutely! Our product is built for families and small businesses, so managing multiple devices is easy. You can view all your vehicles in one app, all on a single map, making it simple to track everything in one place. Regards, Care Team at ShadowGPS
Q: So if the unit was removed from the vehicle does it indicate removal in the app?
A: If the unit is removed from the vehicle, the app immediately notifies you that the device has been disconnected. Additionally, the device has a built-in backup battery, which allows you to continue tracking the location of the removed device for approximately 20–30 minutes after it’s unplugged. This gives you visibility into where the device (and vehicle) may be taken right after removal.
Q: What is the difference between the $49 GPS and the $200 GPS?
A: The GPS hardware itself is exactly the same in both cases. The $49 GPS is the device only. After setup, you choose and purchase a tracking subscription directly in the app (monthly, quarterly, or yearly). The $200 GPS listing is a bundle. It includes the same tracker pre-loaded with a full 1-year subscription, so there’s nothing extra to purchase in the app for the first year. So the difference is how the subscription is paid for, not the tracker or features. Both options give you the same real-time tracking, app features, and coverage. Hope this helps! 😊
Q: Does it work if I’m in a different state?
A: Hi, Yes — ShadowGPS works seamlessly anywhere in the U.S. thanks to nationwide coverage from Tier-1 carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. You’ll get real-time tracking and alerts no matter which state you’re in or traveling to. Our devices also come with international roaming enabled in 95+ countries, so you can stay connected even when you travel abroad. Please let us know if that answers your question.
