FAQ
Common questions
Is it hard to set up?
No. ShadowAuto plugs into the OBD-II port under your dash in under 2 minutes, with no tools or wiring. ShadowTrack sits in a magnetic case.
Is there a monthly fee?
Yes. Live tracking uses a cell connection, so plans run $10 to $15 per tracker per month. No contract. Cancel any time.
Does it need a SIM card?
No. The connection is built in and covered by your plan.
Is GPS tracking legal in Arkansas?
Yes, on vehicles you own, or with consent. Using a tracker to follow a person without consent, good cause or legal authority is harassment under Ark. Code 5-71-208. Parents may track a minor child.
Can I find my truck after a tornado or bad storm?
If the tracker still has power and cell signal, the app shows where the truck is. ShadowAuto runs off the truck's OBD-II port, and ShadowTrack has its own battery.
Can I track a boat trailer at the lake?
