What is GPS Tracking for Cars?
A car GPS tracker is a hidden device installed in your vehicle that transmits its real-time location to a smartphone app, allowing you to monitor where the car is, set geofences and assist recovery if stolen.
Vehicle GPS tracking uses a combination of GPS satellites (for location) and cellular networks (for data transmission) to continuously report a vehicle's position to a cloud platform, accessible via a smartphone app or web browser. Unlike Bluetooth trackers, GPS trackers work anywhere in Australia with mobile coverage — not just within range of a paired phone.
For vehicle security, a GPS tracker adds the recovery layer. An immobiliser stops the car from being started; a GPS tracker allows you to find the car if it's been towed or already moved before the immobiliser kicks in. ImmoTrack GPS also adds remote immobilisation — allowing you to prevent the engine from restarting once the thief stops.
All GPS trackers we install at Euro Chiptuning Solutions are hard-wired and fully hidden — not plugged into the OBD port (where they can easily be found and removed). We use ImmoTrack Online, for which we are the first authorised dealer in Australia.
Common questions.
Can police track my car without a GPS tracker?
+
In most cases, no. Police rely on CCTV footage and witness reports unless the vehicle has a factory connected-car service (like Toyota Connected or BMW ConnectedDrive) or an aftermarket GPS tracker. Many factory connected services have limited coverage and are well known to thieves — who know to pull the SIM or disable the factory module. A hard-wired, concealed ImmoTrack unit is more reliable.

IGLA is a CAN-bus PIN immobiliser that integrates into your vehicle's factory electronics and prevents the engine from starting without a driver-set PIN — even with a cloned or relayed key.
A car alarm detects intrusion and triggers an audible alert; an immobiliser prevents the engine from starting. Both serve different purposes — and the best protection combines both.
ImmoTrack is a live GPS tracking and remote immobilisation device — it shows your car's real-time location on a smartphone app and lets you remotely cut the starter or fuel pump if it's stolen.
